This report documents the acquisition of source data and calculation of land cover summary statistics datasets for 12 National Park Service Pacific Island Network park units: Ala Kahakai National Historic Trail, American Memorial Park, Haleakalā National Park, Hawaiʻi Volcanoes National Park, Honouliuli National Monument, Kalaupapa National Historical Park, Kaloko-Honokōhau National Historical Park, National Park of American Samoa, Pu‘uhonua o Hōnaunau National Historical Park, Pu‘ukoholā Heiau National Historic Site, War in the Pacific National Historical Park, and Pearl Harbor National Memorial, and nine custom areas of analysis. The source data and land cover calculations are available for use within the National Park Service (NPS) Inventory and Monitoring Program. Land cover summary statistics datasets can be calculated for all geographic regions within the extent of the NPS; this report includes statistics calculated for U.S. Pacific Islands. The land cover summary statistics datasets are calculated from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration Office of Coastal Management product Coastal Change Analysis Program (C-CAP) data. These summary statistics calculate land cover at up to two classification scales: modified Anderson Level 2, and Natural versus Converted land cover. The output land cover summary statistics datasets produced here for the 12 Pacific Island Network park units and nine custom areas of analysis utilize the most recent versions of the source datasets (C-CAP). These land cover summary statistics datasets are used in the NPS Inventory and Monitoring Program, including the NPS Environmental Settings Monitoring Protocol, and may be used by networks and parks for additional efforts.
