Threats and conservation
- Threats
- Erosion, sedimentation, pollution, warming, storms, invasive species, shoreline alteration and human disturbance can change habitat condition.
- Conservation actions
- Manage for ecological compatibility, water quality, connectivity and invasive-species risk; restore native function where feasible.
- Monitoring
- Track extent, condition, hydrology/physical structure, native/alien composition, disturbance exposure and restoration response.
- Data gaps
- Exact islandwide area, condition and trend may vary by source layer and mapping scale.
