2004 UC Proceedings Abstract
Guiding Habitat Restoration in the Great Lakes With ArcIMS Track: Forestry, Wildlife, and Fisheries Management Author(s): Robb Macleod, Tina Yerkes, Grant Wilcox Ducks Unlimited (DU) started the planning process for an ambitious three-year research program to identify habitat specific data for waterfowl in the Great Lakes in the spring of 2000. During the planning process of this research, DU realized that it needed a mechanism to translate the results into a format that would be usable to both conservation planners and biologists. Therefore, HEN (Habitat Evaluation Network; an ArcIMS application) was developed to turn the results of the research into tools conservation planners and biologists can use to target and identify habitat restoration in the Great Lakes. This talk will focus on how the results of the research were used to develop a custom ArcIMS application to guide habitat restoration in the Great Lakes.
