| Abstract | 1989 Land use/land cover for the Chesapeake Bay region. This data set consists of portions of three Landsat Thematic Mapper scenes which were analyzed according to the Coastal Change Analysis Program (C-CAP) protocol to determine land cover and a subsequent change detection. The data were field validated and mosaiced to produce a land cover inventory for Chesapeake Bay, Virginia. This product covers over 30,000 square miles If you wish to create an attribute table to identify the different cover classifications, an easy reference table is available under the PROCESS DESCRIPTION section. |
| Purpose | To improve the understanding of coastal uplands and wetlands, and their linkages with the distribution, abundance, and health of living marine resources. |
