A map service that provides the point data for recycling dropoff locations within New Hanover County, NC

Summary:Submerged aquatic vegetation (SAV) mapping data were compiled to provide a maximum historical extent of past and present visible SAV habitat within the coastal zone of the Albemarle-Pamlico National Estuary Partnership (APNEP) and southern NC region. Mapping events from multiple years have been included, with varying extents, data collection protocols, and methodology, to encompass all regions of coastal NC. Purpose:These data were created by governmental agencies and researchers to assist in making resource management decisions using a Geographic Information System (GIS). They are intended for planning projects or research that will contribute to better protection and restoration for SAV habitat.

Methodology

Mapping years included and extent

Carraway and Priddy (1983)

Maps of SAV were created from aerial natural color photography accompanied by ground truth data for verification including location and density. Link to report

1981 (May): Bogue, Back and Core sounds

Ferguson and Wood (1994)

SAV was delineated and mapped from natural color aerial photography with a minimum mapping unit of 20m. Accompanying field inventories were conducted within study regions to verify SAV signatures and species distribution and composition. Link to report

1983 (Spring): Outer Banks from Ocracoke Inlet to Oregon Inlet 1985 (Spring): Core Sound 1988 (Spring): Core Sound, and behind Cape Hatteras from Hatteras to Avon 1990 (Fall): Currituck, Albemarle, Roanoke, and Croatan sounds, and Oregon Inlet to south of Pea Island 1991 (Fall): Pamlico River Estuary, Neuse River Estuary, western Pamlico Sound and Albemarle 1992 (Fall): Pamlico River, parts of eastern and western Pamlico Sound, and Albemarle Sound (Perquimans River)

Maps from aerial photography

1998: Neuse River and tributaries

Elizabeth City State University (ECSU)

Maps from color aerial photography, accompanied by field survey point data to aid in photo interpretation were produced by the ECSU Remote Sensing Program. SAV polygons were generated using “heads up” digitizing on the computer monitor.

2002 (October): Northern shoreline of Albemarle Sound and tributaries from Big Flatty Creek to Edenton Bay 2003 (October): Back Bay, Currituck Sound, and Kitty Hawk Bay 2006: Western Albemarle Sound
