Summary

The data include two datasets Tidal Restrictions (Points) and the Tidal Restrictions Metric. Tidal Restrictions (Points) depicts tidal restrictions and, along with the Tidal Restrictions Metric, the potential impact of tidal restrictions on upstream salt marshes along the North Atlantic coast of the United States (Maine to Virginia). Tidal restrictions include undersized culverts and bridges, tide gates, dikes, and other structures that interfere with normal tidal flushing in estuarine systems. Each potential tidal restriction and tidal region upstream of each tidal restriction has been assigned a value ranging from 0 (no effect from the restriction) to 1 (severe effect). The value represents an estimate of the proportion of salt [...]

Purpose

The data include two datasets Tidal Restrictions (Points) and the Tidal Restrictions Metric. Tidal Restrictions (Points) depicts tidal restrictions and, along with the Tidal Restrictions Metric, the potential impact of tidal restrictions on upstream salt marshes along the North Atlantic coast of the United States (Maine to Virginia). Tidal restrictions include undersized culverts and bridges, tide gates, dikes, and other structures that interfere with normal tidal flushing in estuarine systems. Each potential tidal restriction and tidal region upstream of each tidal restriction has been assigned a value ranging from 0 (no effect from the restriction) to 1 (severe effect). The value represents an estimate of the proportion of salt marsh lost (converted to a different ecosystem type) due to the tidal restriction. The dataset is intended to be used in conjunction with the dataset “Tidal Restrictions Metric, Version 3.0, North Atlantic U.S. Coast,” which depicts the tidal areas upstream of the restrictions.
