  1. A Wetlands-Focused Spatial Decision Support System for the Great Lakes Great Lakes Commission 2007 NSDI CAP-Category 4 Pete Giencke pgiencke@glc.org

  2. Background • Wetlands play a critical role in the GL ecosystem • Loss of over half of original wetlands in GL basin and significant decrease in quality of wetland quality • Overlapping jurisdictions and authorities limiting comprehensive basin-wide wetlands management • 100,000-acre Federal commitment to wetlands restoration in the Great Lakes • NO (accurate) measure of basin-wide wetlands gains/losses possible • Identified need for interagency, basin-wide wetlands management system

  3. Great Lakes Wetlands SDSS Overview • Aggregate and integrate disparate wetlands and wetlands-related datasets • Leverage existing projects and inventories (i.e. GLHI) to facilitate tracking and reporting of wetlands owned by federal agencies in the GL basin • Create a web-based (GLIN) toolkit to support visualization, analysis, and dissemination of wetlands data in the GL basin • Demonstrate, through open source and open standards technologies, the value of incorporating geospatial approaches into Federal business processes.

  4. Wetlands Data Integration • National Datasets: • National Wetlands Inventory (NWI) • Coastal Change Analysis Program (C-CAP) • Soil Survey Geographic (SSURGO) Database • National Land Cover Database (NLCD) • State/Province Datasets: • Ontario • Michigan DEQ • New York DNR • Ohio DNR • WISCLAND (WI) • Great Lakes Habitat Initiative (GLHI)

  5. Wetlands Capture and Tracking Functionality Capture of Wetlands Data Tracking of Wetlands Change

  6. Web-Based Tools for Wetlands Data Management Dissemination Analysis Visualization

  7. Open Source Built Perl PHP GeoServer MapServer PostgreSQL PostGIS GDAL Tomcat
