Description
This dataset contains shapefiles showing location of tidal wetland parcels with the potential for net greenhouse gas removal if restored from current mapped condition to unimpeded tidal wetlands. These maps focus on managed lands in the contiguous United States along the ocean coasts and show impounded wetlands where reconnecting tidal flow could diminish methane production. The maps include current dominant wetland type, restoration category, potential removal of atmospheric greenhouse gases in units of mass carbon dioxide with estimates of uncertainty.

It also shows that smaller potential restoration sites are widespread and well distributed across all three U.S. coasts. Bottom map shows hot spots of restoration activity in the San Francisco Bay Area of California, Texas and Louisiana, the Florida Atlantic Coast, South Carolina and the Delaware Bay region including New Jersey and Delaware. Lower right panel shows a zoom in on the Florida Atlantic Coasts with boundaries of restorable parcels shown in bright yellow. | Open resource |
