Geospatial mapping and analytics performed by the The Bureau of Ocean and Energy Management in conjunction Quantum Spatial and Argis Solutions, is aiding in sea turtle survival. The partnership has created a decision support application that relies on geospatial data to accurately determine best outcomes for habitat managment.
It is a simple, intuitive solution that protects endangered sea turtle populations while allowing dredging companies to continue their work. Even better: Users with little experience operating technology of this kind can easily interpret the data, assess the risk, and adjust accordingly.
