LANDSAT Satellite Imagery

Type:  Extent of habitat (i.e., area of habitat and whether there has been a decline).

Category:  Wetland and Upland

Cost:  No cost to receive data other than hardware, software, and USFWS staff have to photo-interpret and manipulate data. 

Description:  LANDSAT satellite imagery was photo-interpreted to identify current land uses.  This data was a key component in developing habitat models and identifying important habitat for terrestrial species.

Outcome: LANDSAT imagery has proven to be of great value in modeling habitat for individual species.
