This dataset consists of raster images produced by the University of New Orleans for and funded by the Louisiana Department of Natural Resources Office of Coastal Restoration and Managegment (LDNR/OCRM Contract No. 2512-06-06). The original raster dataset was clipped to the updated boundary of the BA-38 CWPPRA project (Pelican Island and Pass La Mer to Chaland Pass) for Chaland Island. These raster datasets are a component of the deliverables necessary to fullfill requirements for the University of New Orleans under the scope of services specified in the Statewide Barrier Island Comprehensive Monitoring (BICM) Program. The raster data provides LDNR/OCRM with short term and near term habitat configurations for five Louisiana delta regions as outlined by the BICM Program. The delta regions include the western Chenier Plain between Sabine Pass and the Lower Mub Lake Entrance; the Teche delta from Raccoon Point to Wine Island Pass; the Lafourche delta from Cat Island Pass to Quatre Bayou Pass; the Modern delta from Quatre Bayou Pass to Sandy Point; and the Chandeleur Islands between Hewes Point and the southern most point of Breton Island.
