  5. A GIS for Dauphin Island • This outreach program will help to develop a GIS tool for future planning- similar in result to planting sea oats in the sand to increase the chance of survival of the dune TROY SURVEYING & GEOMATICS SCIENCES

  6. Project Objectives • Develop a Geographical Information System for the Town of Dauphin island • Identify and create a database of the existing infrastructure of Dauphin Island- the Town and its environmental matrix • Integrate the infrastructure database with a layered digital map base for analytical and management purposes TROY SURVEYING & GEOMATICS SCIENCES

  7. The Town of Dauphin Island • Located at the the Mouth of Mobile Bay in Mobile County, Alabama • Is classified as a barrier island situated on the Northern Gulf of Mexico TROY SURVEYING & GEOMATICS SCIENCES

  8. A Brief Historical Perspective • Was explored in 1699 by Sieur Pierre le Moyne d’Iberville who founded Colonie Louisiane • Pelican Bay on the south shore of the island the French colonists roadstead until 1718 when a hurricane closed Pelican Pass trapping 3 ships in the harbor • The island has suffered many devastating hurricanes that have drastically altered its shoreline- especially the transitory west end.

  20. After the U.S. Coast & Geodetic Survey, Washington, 1933; Rucker Agee Map Collection TROY SURVEYING & GEOMATICS SCIENCES

  21. Expected results • Create an important planning tool for the Town of Dauphin Island, not only for day to day management, but also for long range municipal planning. • This system will also help the Town of Dauphin Island to recover and to mitigate the adverse effects of catastrophic events (e.g, Hurricane Katrina). TROY SURVEYING & GEOMATICS SCIENCES

  22. Near Term Schedule • Meetings with the Town of Dauphin Island are scheduled in November 2007 to discuss expectations and examine existing mapping & infrastructure databases. • Formulate a schedule for implementing upgrades to the Town’s existing data infrastructure to create a workable GIS. • Seek assistance & funding from State & Federal agencies to help in the cost & implementation of the GIS • Work with other agencies to accomplish the goals set forth.
