There are two types of required readings for Lesson 4, USGS information and Esri Help Topics, and a couple of websites that I would like you to explore. The first reading is a fact sheet that provides more information about the invasive species in our study area. The second link sends you to a Virginia Institute for Marine Science (VIMS)/Center for Coastal Resource Management (CCRM) page that outlines GIS methods that are used when producing a shoreline and tidal marsh inventory. The third is a link to the Virginia Coastal Resource Tools Portal and within that page is a link to the Virginia Comprehensive Map Viewer. The Comprehensive Map Viewer displays a specific example of the shoreline and tidal marsh inventory produced by the CCRM. Feel free to explore additional VIMS/CCRM pages, there are many additional links that provide tidal marsh inventory examples. There are also a handful of Esri help topics related to operations we will use in ArcGIS during the Step-by-Step Activity.
Find the help articles listed below on ArcGIS Pro Resource Center [5] website.
