South White Lake Shoreline Protection (ME-22): 2005 and 2018 land-water classifications

Metadata Updated: July 6, 2024

The Louisiana State Legislature created the Coastal Wetlands Planning, Protection and Restoration Act (CWPPRA) in order to conserve, restore, create and enhance Louisiana's coastal wetlands. The wetland restoration plans developed pursuant to these acts specifically require an evaluation of the effectiveness of each coastal wetlands restoration project in achieving long-term solutions to arresting coastal wetlands loss. This data set includes mosaicked aerial photographs for the South White Lake Shoreline Protection (ME-22) project for 2005 and 2018. This data is used as a basemap land-water classification. It also serves as a visual tool for project managers to help them identify any obvious problems or land loss within their project boundary. To better evaluate the effectiveness of restoration efforts, a land-water classification is performed on specific CWPPRA sites to help assess landscape changes. Please note that the date in 2005 appears to be a post-hurricane flooded condition. Therefore, more water is present within the project area than usual.
