Project Returns for Riparian Area Assessment of the Swan River Watershed

Project Returns for Riparian Area Assessment of the Swan River Watershed The Riparian Areas Assessment of the Swan River Watershed focused on assessing riparian habitat along creek, stream and river shorelines. This dataset was created for the Lesser Slave Water Council as a part of a large scale riparian area assessment in Alberta. The overall goal of this project was to quantify and characterize the riparian habitat management in the Lesser Slave Lake watershed by assessing riparian areas along approximately 582 km of shoreline. The riparian areas that were assessed were located within the Swan River watershed (HUC 8) and included the left and right banks of the Swan, Moosehorn and Inverness Rivers. This study created a recent land cover layer within 50 m of selected shorelines and use this layer to assess the intactness of riparian areas along major waterbodies. It also provided guidance on how the results from the intactness assessments can be used to target conservation and restoration efforts within along the shorelines that were assessed as part of the study. 2024-12-06 Government of Alberta EPA.Planning@gov.ab.ca Nature and Environment-CANADAALBERTABIOTAENVIRONMENTINVERNESS-RIVERLAND-COVERLESSER-SLAVE-LAKEMOOSEHORN-RIVERRIPARIAN-INTACTNESSRIPARIAN-MANAGEMENT-AREASHORELINE-ASSESSMENTSWAN-RIVERWATERSHEDGovernment information Project Returns for Riparian Area Assessment of the Swan River Watershed - (HTML)HTML https://geodiscover.alberta.ca/geoportal/rest/metadata/item/adb8bf6878f04030b90032356b6b9ed1/html Original metadata (https://open.alberta.ca/opendata)HTML https://open.alberta.ca/opendata/5180a8a4-35d2-4731-9381-748969a21938 Riparian Area Assessment of the Swan River System Final Report (PDF) (From Alberta Geodiscover Portal metadata)PDF https://extranet.gov.ab.ca/srd/geodiscover/srd_pub/environment/RiparianAssessment/SRW_RiparianAssessment_FinalReport.pdf Project Returns for Riparian Area Assessment of the Swan River Watershed - (XML)XML https://geodiscover.alberta.ca/geoportal/rest/metadata/item/adb8bf6878f04030b90032356b6b9ed1/xml Riparian Area Assessment of the Swan River Watershed (FGDB) (From Alberta Geodiscover Portal metadata)ZIP https://extranet.gov.ab.ca/srd/geodiscover/srd_pub/environment/RiparianAssessment/SRW_RiparianAssessment.zip
