Summary
This dataset is intended to assess the road density within 100 meters of mangrove swamps and saltwater marshes. Road density was calculated by dividing the road lengths, in kilometers, by the buffer area, in kilometers, with which they intersected. Densities are then reported to the hydrologic units code (HUC) 12 in an effort to better assess run-off potential and hydrologic effects on mangrove swamp and saltwater marsh.

Purpose
This dataset is part of the Florida Landscape Conservation project. The project seeks to better understand the trends of indicators within prioritized conservation assets (or habitats). The trends and analysis carried by the project will be used to aid in informing management and conservation actions at, both, the broader and detailed spatial scales.
