FIELD WORK: 1997 (Aerial photo) 1998 & 2000 (vegetation sampling/ground truthing) 'The purpose of the project presented in this report was to develop a wetland habitat map for the Northeast Creek ecosystem. This map will serve as a baseline for the assessment of long-term habitat changes throughout the complex and will serve as a base template to support the ongoing research, inventory, and monitoring efforts.' Methods of wetland deliniation/vegetation habitat mapping are discussed and were to include aerial photogrophy, classification of wetland types based on dominant habitat type, boundary verifications, and plant species lists. No specific methodoligies for vegetation sampling were provided, as well, no GPS coordinates or site descriptions for sampling locations are provided. The map, as mentioned in notes, is not included with the report nor is the GIS metadata that was used to georefrence the scanned aerial photos. Table 1 provides a summary of habitat types and area statistics. A vegitation description of each habitat type is provided; however, no raw sampling data is provided. /STUDY LOCATIONS:/ /MOUNT DESERT ISLAND/Northeast Creek/ Fresh Meadow/ Gis Category 1: reprted CD with gorefrencing information given to David Manski
