Developing Manatee GIS Using ArcView Avenue
Defining Issue: There is a disadvantage to managing manatee spatial and attribute data in the long term without GIS. How can a manatee be developed for inputting, managing, displaying, and analyzing manatee data in Arc/View Avenue? GIS Solution: An ArcView/Avenue program integrated with Oracle, ArcInfo, the operating system, and C programs was written to input, manage, display, and analyze manatee spatial and attribute data. Methodology: Manatee is an endangered species. The body of water around Kennedy Space Center provides an ideal habitat for manatee protection. In order to efficiently manage manatee data, an integrated GIS system is developed to input, manage, display, and analyze the data. The GIS system includes GPS, ArcView, ArcInfo, and Oracle database. The manatee spatial data habitat such as water quality, aquatic vegetation, and human activity, are stored in ArcView. The manatee occurrence survey data are stored in Oracle. ArcInfo is used to analyze the relationship between manatee
and its habitat. Avenue in ArcView is used to integrate these programs. The advantages of this GIS are to manage and display spatial and temporal data efficiently and economically. This presentation shows GIS is a proper technology for manatee protection and management. Software: This application is written by ArcView/Avenue, connecting to ArcInfo, Oracle data base, operating system, and C program. It shows the excellent integration ability of ArcView/Avenue with other products.
