Executive Summary<\/h4>\n

Using Landsat 7 ETM+ Imagery to Map Estuarine Habitats: a Broad Brush<\/p>\n

Developing an understanding of the distribution and changes in estuarine and riparian habitat cover is critical to the management of biological resources in the lower Columbia River. The\n Lower Columbia River Estuary Partnership<\/a> (Estuary Partnership) completed a comprehensive ecosystem protection and enhancement plan for the lower Columbia River and estuary in 1999 (Jerrick, 1999). The plan identified habitat\n loss and modification as one of the key threats to the integrity of the lower Columbia River ecosystem and called for an inventory of habitat as a key first step in its long-term restoration effort. In 2000, the Estuary Partnership\n initiated this project to produce a spatial data set describing the current location and distribution of habitat cover types along the lower Columbia River from the river mouth to the Bonneville Dam (~230 River km).<\/p>\n

Results from this study will be used by the Estuary Partnership and its cooperators to:<\/p>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n
