Marsh management suggestion sub-layer within the Marsh Resilience Portfolio, categorical data with outputs of protect, restore, monitor, evaluate, and insufficient data. <\/SPAN>USGS\u2019 Marsh Lifespan Dataset<\/SPAN><\/A> was used to determine a \u2018marsh management suggestion\u2019 for a marsh unit. This dataset combines vegetated elevation with the Unvegetated to Vegetated Ratio (UVVR) to classify marsh management suggestions as restore, protect, monitor and evaluate. For each CMU, an ELEVATION_UVVR field was calculated according to the thresholds on the chart below (elevation high >0.4m, elevation low <= 0.4m, UVVR low <= 0.15, UVVR High > 0.15). This field is labeled management_strategy in the MPI attribute table.<\/SPAN><\/P> Last updated: 03/30/2026<\/SPAN><\/P><\/DIV><\/DIV>",
