Case Study of the ArcGIS Marine Data Model: Examining Habitat Utilization Patterns of Reef Fish along the West Coast of Hawaii
Track: Ocean, Coastal, and Marine Resources
Author(s): Alyssa Aaby, Dawn Wright, Brian Tissot

We present a case study of the ArcGIS Marine Data Model using Hawaii Marine GAP analysis data, thereby endeavoring a new approach to assembling, managing, and publishing marine data. One goal of the data model is to provide a basic geodatabase template for users to undertake marine GIS projects. Accordingly, this case study tested the adaptability of the marine data model to meet the specific needs of near-shore marine species groups in Hawaii, the ease with which data can be integrated into the marine data model, and the functionality of the model in performing rudimentary GAP analysis.
