- Develop data and analyses that address environmental quality issues including the identification of natural, semi-natural, and agricultural opportunity areas
N/A
MoRAP is working with staff from EPA, the James River Basin Partnership (JRBP), and NRCS to address the need to protect and improve overall environmental and water quality in the face of a rapidly expanding human population in the watershed. MoRAP will provide information for the JRBP to use in developing watershed plans, regional water quality recommendations, and educational programs.
We used land cover, modeled landforms, and landscape context to identify conservation opportunity areas (OAs) within the James River Basin for the James River Basin Partnership. The central and eastern parts of the Upper James River and Finley Creek watershes contain more OAs versus the western third and the southern part of the Lower James River watershed contains more OAs than the rest.
