1 50 Years of Habitat Change in the Mississippi River Delta Wells*, Chris, Larry Handley*, Jason Dugas**, Kelly Mouton**, Dennis Lichtenberg** *NWRC/USGS; **NWRC/IAP World Services U.S. Department of the Interior U.S. Geological Survey
2 24 DOQQ s were mapped to evaluate impacts of Hurricanes Audrey (1957), Katrina and Rita (2005). This presentation is an overview of habitat changes to four quadrangles southeast of New Orleans: Belle Chase, Chalmette, Delacroix, and Martello Castle. The dates of photography mapped were 1956, 1988, 2004 and Chalmette Martello Castle Belle Chase Delacroix
3 Interpretation and mapping considerations Include: classification interest, photo resolution, scale, dates of imagery available, medium (digital vs film), emulsion (if film), monoscopic or stereoscopic, and scanning characteristics (if digital). classification interest: Habitat (NWI + uplands) Resolution: 1956 about 2 ft; 1988 about 3 ft; 2004 & 2005 about 1 ft. Scale: Interpreted at 1:3,000; mapped at 1:12,000; minimum mapping unit: ½ acre Photography dates interpreted and mapped: 1956, 1988, 2004, 2005 Medium: film ( panchromatic, CIR, CIR); digital ( CIR) Interpreted in stereo (all dates) mapped on-screen for 2004 & 2005.
4 Habitat Mapping - Photointerpreters use historical and current stereo aerial photography to produce wetland and upland status and trends, and habitat inventories. Maps produced from these methods are used by federal, state, local and private landowners for developing conservation plans and management decisions. National Wetlands Research Center
5 Map Production Map Development - All production follows the same rigorous methodology. High-quality final maps are produced to national mapping standards, protocols and conventions.
6 Urbanization shifts from rural toward NOLA, fresh marsh decrease, wetland forest decrease, open water increase through salt marsh degradation, leveeing, and canal dredging all changed dramatically in the 32 years from 1956 to 1988.
7 Urbanization continues to shift toward NOLA, consolidates, and expands into wetlands, fresh marsh nearly disappears, wetland and upland forest decrease, open water increase through shoreline retrogradation and salt marsh degradation, and canal dredging all changed dramatically in the 18 years from 1988 to 2004.
8 Urbanization, fresh marsh stabilization, modest forest loss, and dramatic open water increase through shoreline retrogradation and especially salt marsh degradation changed in year of Hurricane Katrina.
9 49 years of habitat change from 1956 to 2005 appear to be mostly due to the impact of man through levee building, canal dredging and urbanization. The result has been almost total loss of fresh marsh, shift of uplands from forested to urban, and unsustainable, continuous loss of salt marsh.
10 Polygons that changed to open water by 2005 from non-water 1956 polygons appear bright blue. Polygons that changed from non-urban categories in 1956 to urban categories in 2005 are deep red. Using habitat mapping from different dates we can combine different habitat types of the extended NWI classification system to track changes in ephemeral habitats like beaches and flats, woody plant vegetation on dredge spoil, and much, much more.
