MHHC_WetlandInventory_2013
vector digital data
A classification of wetland coverage in the Interlake and southern boreal regions of Manitoba, in vector format. The classification consists of Canadian Wetland Inventory (CWI) classes (bog, fen, marsh, swamp, shallow/open water), and also includes and ecosystem type information. The classification was conducted using eCognition Developer object-based software to classify 30 m LANDSAT-8 imagery, CWI standards for minimum mapping unit (1 ha) and overall map accuracy (>=80%) were met.
The Manitoba Habitat Heritage Corporation (MHHC) produced a classification of wetland coverage in the Interlake and southern boreal regions of Manitoba. This classification, supported and funded by Manitoba, was conducted as part of a Canada-wide wetland mapping endeavour to establish a baseline for wetland monitoring, science, and conservation efforts. The southern peatlands region was prioritized to aid in the development of Manitoba's Peatland Stewardship Strategy.
