Description:
Abstract:
Southern New Jersey marsh habitat base maps were created in 1991, using 1986 aerial photography. Habitat data was collected and entered into the GIS by Endangered and Nongame Species Program (ENSP) staff, using moneys donated by The New Jersey Natural Lands Trust (NJNLT).
Purpose: This data was created most specifically for use in protecting and managing migrating shorebirds on Delaware Bay.

A mylar manuscript was made for each FEMA map panel. The high velocity V line and road intersections were delineated on the mylar. Tics ids were identified at these intersections on the manuscript and orthophoto. The V line is defined as "Areas of 100 year coastal flood with velocity (wave action)." The manuscript mylars were scanned, vectorized and edited. The unique tics on the orthophoto were digitized and added to the transformation file for each panel. Each panel was then transformed and appended and checked to the photoquads.

Process Description:
Habitat delineations done on mylar overlays registered to 1986 mylar photo basemaps. Habitat types determined from aerial photos, field checks and low level over-flights. Only areas under tidal influence within the 12 quads were investigated. Polygons greater than 1/4 acre were mapped. Only watercourses greater than 100 feet in width were delineated. Habitat types determined by NJFGW staff.
