Shoreline Buffer Module for GRANIT Data Mapper. A Final Report to the New Hampshire Estuaries Project

摘要

The Complex Systems Research Center at the University of New Hampshire enhanced the GRANIT Data Mapper by incorporating data describing shoreline buffers in New Hampshire. The project supports an ongoing, comprehensive New Hampshire Estuaries Project (NHEP) outreach initiative that seeks to educate municipal decision-makers about the importance of stream buffers in preserving water quality in coastal New Hampshire. It complements these existing outreach efforts by allowing coastal managers, local land use boards, and the general public to readily visualize the spatial extent of current and/or proposed shoreline regulations in their community.
