      <abstract>The NOAA Coastal Change Analysis Program (C-CAP) produces national standardized land cover and change products for the coastal regions of the U.S. C-CAP products inventory coastal intertidal areas, wetlands, and adjacent uplands with the goal of monitoring changes in these habitats through time. The timeframe for this metadata is 2020 through 2021, depending on the latest date of available imagery. These maps were developed utilizing high resolution 30cm or better aerial imagery. In addition, a digital surface model (DSM) derived from the stereo imagery was used to determine vegetation heights. This information provides managers with a detailed accounting of current landscape conditions related to impervious surface, woody canopy, and water feature extents.</abstract>
      <purpose>C-CAP is dedicated to the development, distribution, and application of land cover and change data for the coastal regions of the U.S. </purpose>
      <notes>This data was produced under contract to Ecopia Tech Corporation. C-CAP data sets are not jurisdictional or intended for use in litigation. While efforts have been made to ensure that these data are accurate and reliable within the limits of current technology, NOAA cannot assume liability for any damages or misrepresentations caused by inaccuracies in the data, or as a result of the data to be used on a particular system. NOAA makes no warranty, expressed or implied, nor does the fact of distribution constitute such a warranty. This is a national and regional data set that should be used only as a screening tool for very local or site-specific management decisions. Small features and changes should be verified with a higher-resolution data source.</notes>
      <other-citation-details>USE RESTRICTIONS: This land cover data may not be used for the purpose of creating, training, improving, modifying, validating, testing, or evaluating machine learning algorithms, or otherwise leverage the product for the purposes of machine learning for a period of five years from its date of creation, except with the express written consent of Ecopia Tech Corporation.

            <description>This dataset was created by NOAA's Ocean Service, Office for Coastal Management (OCM).

Classification: Initial 1m spatial resolution feature extraction for impervious mapping was conducted by Ecopia Tech Corporation and was developed by Ecopia Tech Corporation using a proprietary feature recognition technology. This involves taking each image and classifying the pixels based on spectral and spatial properties, based on training examples and analyst refinement. The interim product classifications were reviewed, and feedback was provided that allowed for training data that resulted in the refinement of those classifiers. Once the review and edits were complete, the developed impervious class was created by combining the impervious class with railroads from the bare class and with the impervious under canopy class. This work was done under contract to NOAA, through NOAAs Coastal Geospatial Services Contract (CGSC) vehicle. 

Attributes for the impervious product are as follows:
0	Background
1	Developed Impervious
