Description: <DIV STYLE="text-align:Left;font-size:12pt"><DIV><P><SPAN>The upland interface shoreline is located behind shoreline wetlands and MHW in areas without wetlands. Where wetlands are present, the 2050 shoreline is located at the MHW interface (0.9m elevation in 2050). Were wetlands are present, the shoreline is located on the upland border at 1.5m elevation (in 2050 these are areas that fall within the 1.5 times the Mean Sea Level range). </SPAN></P></DIV></DIV>
Description: <DIV STYLE="text-align:Left;"><DIV><DIV><P><SPAN>The Virginia Institute of Marine Science published the first Tidal marsh Inventories using data collected in the early 1970's. </SPAN><SPAN>Using high resolution color infra-red imagery from 2009, 2011 and 2013 new Tidal Marsh Inventories have been developed beginning in 2010. Marsh boundaries were generated using heads-up digitizing techniques at a scale of 1:1,000. From 2010 through 2014 marsh polygons were classified by morphologic type: fringe, extensive, embayed, or marsh island. Beginning in 2015, morphologic classification was discontinued. Marshes were ground-truthed in the field where a community type index was assigned to each marsh based on plant community make-up.</SPAN></P><P><SPAN /></P><P><SPAN /></P></DIV></DIV></DIV>
