Spatial Patterns of Sea Turtle Nests on Bald Head Island, NC Using GIS
- 1. Spa$al Pa(erns of Sea Turtle Nests on Bald Head Island, NC Using Geographic Informa$on Science Alyssa Randall BHIC Intern 2013
- 2. What is GIS? • A geographic informa$on system (GIS) integrates hardware, soLware, and data for capturing, managing, analyzing, and displaying all forms of geographically referenced informa$on.
- 3. Understanding Spa$al Pa(erns Used to make future management strategies Can reflect past condi$ons Shows the effects of habitat altera$on Examine areas that are desirable for nes$ng
- 5. Data Breakdown • Maps created July 25, 2013 • 99 nest mapped including their metadata • Metadata-‐ “data about data” – Date Laid – GPS Coordinates – Reloca$on Coordinates – Returning Turtles – Satellite Tagged Turtles – PIT Scan ID – Flipper Tag ID Number – Hatch Date – Hatch Success
- 6. ArcGIS A(ribute Table (Metadata Storage)
- 8. Relocated Nests
- 10. Satellite Tagged Turtles
- 11. Future Research • Map addi$onal years to see trends and correla$ons in nes$ng on Bald Head Island • Examine the return rate of turtles based on their PIT tag ID number and flipper tags • Overlay a beach nourishment layer
- 12. Acknowledgements I would like to thank Jaymie for her support during this process and for providing me with all of the current nes$ng data. I would also like to thank Patrick for providing with the GIS soLware that was needed to carryout my project.
