Part of this wiki describes Ecosystems. We use current regional planning models to chop the ecosystem into management units. We are working on representing these places in maps:
- PSNERP has provided us with deltas, beaches and embayments, and offers a basis for identifying headlands. You can view these places using the Nearshore Portal
- The watershed characterization project gives us headwaters, lowland watersheds within our big river systems, and provides a different way of looking at lowland coastal watersheds.
- The Floodplains by design project is taking a look at floodplains at a regional scale. We'll see how that goes.
People define Place pages let people define place in ways that don't fit these 'management units'.
You can create a new page to describe one of these ecosystem units.
