Georeferencing Method: Georeferencing Quick Reference Guide, Version 2012 (Referred to Wikimapia.org for additional locality information for Ilha do Cardoso (http://wikimapia.org/2939838/Ilha-do-Cardoso-Cardoso-s-Island, accessed: 9/30/2015). Also referred to geo-tagged Google Maps images and a guide map of Ilha do Cardoso (see image: http://i949.photobucket.com/albums/ad332/mariaojm1/varios/IlhadoCardoso.jpg) for the approximate location of Itacuruça. Georeferenced to the approximate geographic center of the restinga of Itacuruça on Ilha do Cardoso, Mun. Cananéia, São Paulo, Brazil. Used the reference material and Google Maps - Earth and Map Views to locate Itacuruça on Ilha do Cardoso. Used the Google Maps - What's Here Tool to find the coordinates of the approximate geographic center of the restinga of Itacuruça (using visual evidence from the satellite imagery to locate). Used the Google Maps - Measure Distance Tool to find the approximate linear extent of the restinga of Itacuruça by measuring from the selected coordinates to the farthest extent of Itacuruça (at: -25.105985, -47.895476). Input coordinates, coordinate precision (.00001 degrees), coordinate source (locality description), datum (WGS84), linear extent (2520.0 m), and measurement error (5 m) into the MaNIS Georeferencing Calculator to find the uncertainty radius (according to the Georeferencing Quick Reference Guide, Named Place: Bounded Area).)
Coordinate Uncertainty(m): 2526.57
