2. Objectives
“…to build a personal geodatabase spatially detailing the restoration activities of CCBER”
“…make spatial decisions concerning restoration management and monitoring protocol, as well as providing an overall measure of success”
“…a tool for CCBER outreach in terms of educating the public and obtaining the necessary funding for future and ongoing restoration activities”

4. Methods Georegistering Building a Geodatabase Digitizing
Data Management
Field Data Collection
Acquisition
Merging
Groundtruthing
Working with CCBER staff

5. Roadblocks Scale Volume of Data Geodatabase built in 9.2
Entry
Collection
Geodatabase built in 9.2
Data Storage and Transferring
Vegetation Classification Algorithm
Spatial Analyst Reads 1 Band of Color
Remote Sensing Issue
Division and Delegation of Workload

6. Results Geodatabase with a framework for organizing CCBER spatial data
A living dataset containing comprehensive spatial data on the Lagoon Island and Manzanita Village at a scale appropriate for micro-managing restoration projects
Model for project continuation on other restoration sites

15. Impact Transitioning CCBER from cognitive maps to real, visual data
Increasing the efficiency and accuracy of communication and decision making within CCBER
Aide in CCBER restoration management, outreach, and education

16. Project Evaluation
Model for CCBER spatial database successfully developed
Lagoon Island and Manzanita Village dataset populated with data that has already been utilized by CCBER for restoration management and outreach
Failed to develop an algorithm for vegetation classification; digitizing used as an alternative
Geodatabase not fully populated with data, but framework exists from which it can be completed
