Have you heard about Envision’s work on creating a prioritized restoration opportunity list for sites around the Choptank River watershed and neighboring counties? This spatial analysis project, originally designed to support outreach and project planning by our Landowner Assistance Coordinators, is now publicly available for all to use!

Head to the project website to learn more about how restoration opportunities (riparian buffer, wetland, road-side ditch, and in-field ditch) were identified, how nutrient loads from impervious and agricultural land were calculated, and how the final rankings were assigned that list some restoration opportunities more impactful than others.

In addition to helpful background information you can also interact with the data using the Restoration Site Opportunity Explorer interactive map tool or access the raw data to use with your own mapping software.

The project team welcomes questions, comments, and opportunities for including these site opportunity data layers on other interactive map tools; please use the contact form to reach out and we look forward to hearing how you use the data!
