Great Lakes Coastal Wetland Restoration Assessment (GLCWRA)
This dataset is part of the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) Great Lakes Coastal Wetland Restoration Assessment (GLCWRA) initiative. The impervious surface data are used to show where there are impervious surfaces within the Lake Ontario Restoration Assessment (LORA) study area, because those areas are not suitable for wetland restoration. The GLCWRA initiative identifies coastal wetland areas that have the greatest habitat restoration potential. The data model uses seven parameters to identify and rank wetland restoration areas, resulting in a composite index raster that can be used by ecological managers and planners to assist with the selection of wetland restoration sites. The parameters are Parameter 0: Mask, Parameter 1: Hydroperiod, Parameter 2: Wetland Soils, Parameter 3: Flowlines, Parameter 4: Conservation and Recreation Lands, Parameter 5: Impervious Surfaces, and Parameter 6: Land Use (represents developed areas without impervious surfaces but high societal value). The ancillary data include dikes, degree flowlines, study area and culverts. These data layers are put through an ecological model, which results in a composite restoration index of ranked restoration areas.
This dataset represents impervious surfaces. These areas not are not suitable for wetland restoration and therefore result in lower composite scores in the GLCWRA composite model. This dataset was created with methodology outlined at https://glcwra.wim.usgs.gov/.
