Description:
Ecological integrity of tidal wetlands based on degree of local human development, amount and local connectivity of habitat, and quality of habit. Indicators were selected to reflect the needs of focal species, as well as other key ecological attributes of tidal wetlands. Ratings of each indicator are based on a viability assessment conducted following the Open Standards framework. Indicators with ratings of Good or Very Good are within the acceptable range of natural variation (with Good suggesting some management may be needed to get the attribute back to an ideal condition). Indicators with ratings of Fair or Poor are outside of the acceptable range of natural variation, and require some level of restoration.
