Background
• Wetlands play a critical role in the GL ecosystem
• Loss of over half of original wetlands in GL basin and significant decrease in quality of wetland quality
• Overlapping jurisdictions and authorities limiting comprehensive basin-wide wetlands management
• 100,000-acre Federal commitment to wetlands restoration in the Great Lakes
• NO (accurate) measure of basin-wide wetlands gains/losses possible
• Identified need for interagency, basin-wide wetlands management system
Great Lakes Wetlands SDSS Overview
• Aggregate and integrate disparate wetlands and wetlands-related datasets
•Leverage existing projects and inventories (i.e. GLHI) to facilitate tracking and reporting of wetlands owned by federal agencies in the GL basin
• Create a web-based (GLIN) toolkit to support visualization, analysis, and dissemination of wetlands data in the GL basin
• Demonstrate, through open source and open standards technologies, the value of incorporating geospatial approaches into Federal business processes.
Wetlands Data Integration
National Datasets:
• National Wetlands Inventory (NWI)• Coastal Change Analysis Program (C-CAP)• Soil Survey Geographic (SSURGO) Database• National Land Cover Database (NLCD)
State/Province Datasets:
