Summary

This vector polygon feature class was developed from the Upper Midwest & Great Lakes Landscape Conservation Cooperative's Coastal Conservation Working Group (CCWG) "Designing the Coastal Wetlands of Tomorrow" September 6th, 2017 stakeholder workshop. The polygon features represent potential areas of coastal wetland opportunities and were derived from paper maps marked up by workshop participants that they believed to be areas of opportunity for coastal wetland protection (maintain and protect current wetlands), restoration (add wetlands or increase size of a wetland), or enhancement (improve the quality of a wetland). The CCWG is particularly interested in these opportunities to partner and provide support for coastal wetland ecosystems. [...]

Purpose

The Upper Midwest & Great Lakes Landscape Conservation Cooperative's Coastal Conservation Working Group (CCWG) ‘Designing the Coastal Wetlands of Tomorrow’ September 6th, 2017 stakeholder workshop came together in order to 1) present practioners with available tools for coastal wetlands work and to solicit practitioner feedback. The CCWG is interested in expanding its partnership to help facilitate coastal wetlands work. This polygon vector feature class created out of this workshop was intended to identify areas where Great Lakes coastal wetlands maybe be prime for protection, (maintain and protect current wetlands), restoration (add wetlands or increase size of a wetland), or enhancement (improve the quality of a wetland). Identifying areas of coastal wetland opportunities is part of the CCWG implementation strategy.
