MD iMAP: Maryland Hazard Reduction by Habitats

This is a MD iMAP hosted service. Find more information on http://imap.maryland.gov. Each point in Coastal Resiliency Assessment Shoreline Points represents a 250 meter segment of the Maryland coast - including Atlantic - Chesapeake Bay and Coastal Bay shorelines. The Natural Capital Project's Coastal Vulnerability model was used to calculate a Shoreline Hazard Index - representing the relative exposure of each segment to storm-induced erosion and flooding. Inputs to the model included 6 physical variables (geomorphology - elevation - sea level rise - wave power - storm surge height and erosion rates) and 5 habitat types (forest - marsh - dune - oyster reef and underwater grass). Two scenarios of the model were run: one scenario incorporating the protective role of all existing coastal habitats and the other scenario simulating the complete loss of habitats. The difference between the two scenarios indicates the potential magnitude of coastal hazard reduction by habitats at each location. Model results were integrated with MD DNR's Community Flood Risk Areas (March - 2016) in order to highlight areas where hazard reduction by habitats is most likely to benefit at-risk coastal communities.
