Before using satellite imagery, all UVVR assessments were conducted using site-specific studies. However, individual studies are labor-intensive and require multiple aerial surveys, detailed merging of elevation and imagery data, and the interpretation of multiple imagery classes. Developing a method to use Landsat 8 satellite imagery enables users to get broad assessments of vulnerable salt marshes without requiring
