hi,
I am using C-Cap data instead of NWI to convert to SLAMM codes. Please advise if these would be the correct codes. I am mostly unsure of the last code (CCAP 23) Thanks. Caroline
CCap SLAMM
2-5, developed 1
6-12, 20 natural areas, bare land 2
13-14 paulustrine scrub/schrub/emergent wetlands 3
15 paulstrine emergent wetland 5
17 estuarine scrub/shrub wetland 7
18 estuarine emergent wetland 8
19 unconsolidated shore 11
21 open water 17
23 estuarine aquatic bed 20
We have not historically used CCAP data because they do not specify irregularly flooded (brackish) marshes vs. regularly flooded.
Permanently flooded aquatic beds are generally classified as open water within SLAMM, so I think that last category should be mapped to 17.
Good luck!
Ok. Thanks Jonathan!
