Polygon delineation relied primarily on 2009 orthophoto imagery. An update to that inventory was conducted in 2015-2018 using 2014 imagery. The purpose of the update was primarily to document ecosystem losses over the five-year period (2009-2014). Additionally, the update incorporated new mapping and fieldwork, and made corrections where necessary. Updating the SEI will ensure it continues to be an effective and relevant land use and conservation planning tool for the region. |
