Great Bay, New Hampshire National Estuarine Research Reserve Digital Line Boundary

Entry ID: GRB_NERR_PAGIS_DIGITAL_LINE_BOUNDARY

[ Update this Record ]

Summary

Abstract: The Great Bay National Estuarine Research Reserve (NERR) digital
boundary was created as part of the Protected Areas Geographic Information
System (PAGIS) project. An updated digital version of Great Bay's boundary was
critical to the PAGIS project. The digital boundary was delineated from
management and research areas within the Reserve. It was not based on legal
definitions.

Purpose: The PAGIS project provided each National Estuarine Research Reserve
(NERR) with a fully integrated geographic information system (GIS),
encompassing spatial data and Internet capabilities. One of the essential GIS
data layers being compiled for each Reserve was a digital boundary. The Reserve
boundary was delineated based on management and research areas and is not meant
to be a legal description ...
