Abstract
Mapping and GIS Capacity Building in American Samoa
Track: Ocean, Coastal, and Marine Resources
Author(s): Dawn Wright
This paper presents the final results of (1) recent multibeam bathymetric surveys in April and May of 2001 to obtain complete topographic coverage of several sites around the island of Tutuila, American Samoa; (2) the integration of these and other baseline data into a GIS to facilitate research directions and future management decisions within the Fagatele Bay National Marine Sanctuary; and (3) efforts to build a local infrastructure on the island to maintain and update GIS hardware, software, databases, and project initiatives.
