FWS ACJV Atlantic FL Gulf tidal marshes [U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service]
Description
This is a simplified raster mosaic of three separate tidal marsh products, cross walked to combine classes through an expert opinion process.

Final report to the Atlantic Coast Joint Venture. -https://acjv.org/documents/Report_Florida_Marsh_Habitat_Mapping_2019.pdfNote from Tom Allen 2/5/2020 -I'm quite confident that your preliminary aggregation, as shown in column F of the spreadsheet would match my own given the purpose you describe. I'm less familiar with the data and protocols the NE region mapping used, but there also I think the aggregation for a seamless eastern seaboard map also makes sense.I would also note that for SE and FL, as you aggregate the marsh classes, this will inherently improve their user accuracy, notwithstanding local/actual change or disturbance since imagery was collected.
