coastal Texas marsh survey points 2012
Description
This data set contains vector point information. The original data set was collected through visual field observation by Jennke Visser (University of Louisiana-Lafayette). The observations were made while flying over the study area in a helicopter. Flight was along north/south transects spaced 2000 meters apart from the Texas / Louisiana State line to Corpus Christie Bay. Vegetative data was obtained at pre-determined stations spaced at 1500 meters along each transect. The stations were located using a Global Positioning System (GPS) and a computer running ArcGIS. This information was recorded manually onto field tally sheets and later this information was entered into a Microsoft Excel database using Capturx software and imported into ArcGIS.
