The ratio of unvegetated area to vegetated area (UVVR) was calculated from a regional dataset of UVVR mapped in 30-m cells. A shapefile was created for two sites, Thompsons Beach and Stone Harbor, NJ, to calculate UVVR in each marsh. The UVVR is an important metric for determining the vulnerability and resiliency of salt marshes. The UVVR was calculated for each year from 2014 to 2018 to evaluate marsh restoration efforts.
