  • 1. Florida International University

Description

We provide salt marsh delineations for Barnegat Bay, New Jersey, by means of object-based image analysis of high-resolution aerial imagery and digital elevation models. We performed trends analyses of salt marsh extent from 1995 to 2015 and estimated drivers of marsh area change. We found that in 1995, 8,830 ± 390 ha were covered with marsh vegetation, while in 2015 only 8,180 ± 380 ha of salt marsh habitat remained.
