Gulf of Maine Coastal Ecosystems Program - GIS Applications

GPS & Landsat data are being used in many of the applications at the Gulf of Maine Project

• Landsat data is used for habitat identification on a watershed-wide and smaller basis. It has been and is being used for a Casco Bay Habitat Analysis and for watershed habitat analysis in several Atlantic Salmon Rivers of Maine (more details below).
• The PLGGR (GPS unit) has been and is being used:
  • in conjunction with Landsat imagery for supervised classifications of habitat.
  • for geo-referencing and mapping in-stream Atlantic Salmon habitat and obstructions.
  • for mapping habitat for wetland restorations
  • marine navigation (it was extremely helpful in returning to the dock ~ 15 or so miles ~ from an outer island of Casco Bay after a thick fog rolled in on us)
