Description:
The Wetlands and Riparian layers were developed to inventory wetlands, riparian woody areas, and surrounding landcover in three key regions in California: 1) the Sacramento Valley, 2) the San Francisco Bay/Delta, and 3) the San Joaquin Valley to support cooperative conservation planning and wetland resource protection efforts of state, federal, and local agencies and private organizations. This database was produced using image processing techniques to classify satellite imagery. For the three regions, Landsat Thematic Mapper satellite imagery was processed to map land cover classes from three broad categories: wetlands, agriculture, and uplands.

Layer symbology is set to only show the following classes:
 Seasonally Flooded Palustrine Emergents
 Seasonally Flooded Estuarine Emergents
 Riparian Woody
 Permanently Flooded Palustrine Emergents
 Permanently Flooded Estuarine Emergents
