Habitat Change Analysis

TENNESSEE VALLEY LAGOON: FACT SHEET

Current Habitat Type (2012)Historical Habitat Type (1853)

Management Recommendations

Habitat type maps and charts for 1853 and 2012. Habitat maps use USGS T-sheets for the historical map and National Agriculture Imagery Program (NAIP) imagery (2012) for the current map. Hatched areas are now located behind a levee.

Remove the levee and restore connectivity between the lagoon, beach, riparian, and wetable lowland habitats.
