  <title>Wetland Potential - 2040</title>
  <abstract>This raster file represents elevations classified for their potential to support wetlands within the Chesapeake Bay area. The classification is based on elevation thresholds determined by the upper limit of 1.5 times the inter-tidal range and the lower limit defined by the mean low water (MLW) line for the year 2040. Elevation data were derived from the Chesapeake Bay Topobathymetric Digital Elevation Model, developed by the USGS Coastal National Elevation Database (CoNED) program. Tidal datums used in this analysis were sourced from NOAA's Sewell's Point station. These datums, relative to mean sea level (MSL), were adjusted according to the NOAA Intermediate Sea Level Rise curve, providing indexed elevations for each decade from 2020 to 2100. The raster is classified such that 0 represents areas with no potential for wetlands and 1 represents areas with potential for wetlands. </abstract>
