Reedsport developed areas should be classified as diked #66

Open LauraBrophy opened 5 years ago

LauraBrophy commented 5 years ago

The CMECS Aquatic Setting layer shows substantial areas of tidal wetland within the developed areas of the city of Reedsport. (These are excluded from the Biotic Component -- because they're developed, I assume.) Based on interpretation of aerial photos and LIDAR, these areas should be classified as diked. See the screen capture image below: the selected (yellow) areas in the developed areas of Reedsport should be classified as diked. They are surrounded by elevated dikes and road embankments and I don't see any sign of tidal exchange.
