Land Cover
Land
cover data comes from the UConn Center for Land use Education And
Research
(CLEAR). It is based on information from the Landsat satellite, and
gives an overall picture of what is on the surface of the land in
your
town—what areas are forested, what areas are developed, what areas
are in farmland. Land cover is a key factor in determining land
use-generated
threats to your coastal resources, like urban runoff.
