Data_Quality_Information:

Attribute_Accuracy:

Attribute_Accuracy_Report:

The accuracy is not based on a formal quantitative assessment and is based on the judgement of the biologist in the field. To attain a better estimate of accuracy, a formal re-evaluation of the area would be necessary to see if there are areas where discrepancies exist.

Logical_Consistency_Report:

Quality assurance was performed on the data entry process. Data was cross checked with the field notes. All points have geographic coordinates and all attribute values assigned to them.

Completeness_Report: There are no known omissions in the data set.

Positional_Accuracy:

Horizontal_Positional_Accuracy:

Horizontal_Positional_Accuracy_Report:

The horizontal positional accuracy is based on the accuracy of the GPS navigational unit used in the aerial survey. Actual accuracy percentage is not known.

Methodology_Description:

Aerial surveys were conducted over marsh using a Bell 206 Helicopter. Two observers, positioned on opposite sides of the helicopter, recorded information about nutria and vegetation.

Process_Step:

Process_Description:

Data from the 1995 aerial survey were entered into a database. Coordinates from the survey were placed into a GIS and the attribute information was added.
