Grids and geographic locations

Organizing surveys Location from QGIS or Google Earth Location read on a GPS You can also use geonames.org to get approximate locations

Geonames.org

Landing sites Location from QGIS or Google Earth Tummoil’s warf Landing sites Location from QGIS or Google Earth Location read on a GPS

Fishing locations Using QGIS South Pass reefs

Fishing locations Using Google Earth and placemarks or reading cursor position

Fishing locations as distances Using QGIS

Fishing locations as distances Using Google Earth

Using grids

Organizing surveys Add your own country as a top location Add main islands or provinces under the country Add a few sub locations corresponding to survey areas Example: New Caledonia Southern Province Noumea Thio Northern Province Koumac Kone Use geonames.org to get coordinates of these locations

Using QGIS Measure the distance between the Tummoil’s warf and North Pass Determine the distance of the outer reefs of Frigate island from Tummoil’s warf getting out the lagoon through the North Pass coming back to Tummoil through the North-East Pass What distance do you need to travel to reach the outer reefs of Tumdur from Tummoil’s warf ? What are coordinates of North Pass ?

Using Google Earth What is the geographic location of SPC ? What is the distance between the SPC gate and the beach of Ilot Canard ?

Using Google maps What is the geographic location of Lorangau market (PNG) ? What are the coordinates of Talamahu market (Tonga) ?

Grids What are the coordinates of the middle of zone C3 ?
