Georeferencing Method: Georeferencing Quick Reference Guide, Version 2012 (Georeferenced to the approximate geographic center of the city of Cabo Frio in Mun. Cabo Frio, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. Used Google Maps - Map and Earth Views to locate Cabo Frio. Used the Google Maps – What's Here Tool to find the coordinates of the approximate geographic center of the city (extending the city limits to include portions excluded by Google Maps based on the location of the Cabo Frio airport (Aeroporto Internacional de Cabo Frio) and other entities located in Cabo Frio but not included in the bounds of the city, see: http://wikimapia.org/#lang=en&lat=-22.890000&lon=-42.040000&z=13&m=b&show=/29849852/pt/Salinas-da-C-N-A-&search=cabo%20frio%20rio%20de%20janeiro, accessed: 8/25/2015). Used the Google Maps – Measure Distance Tool to find the linear extent by measuring from the selected coordinates to the farthest extent of Cabo Frio (at: -22.930044, -42.092845). Input coordinates, coordinate precision (.00001 degrees), coordinate source (locality description), datum (WGS84), linear extent (8750.0 m), and measurement error (5 m) into the MaNIS Georeferencing Calculator to find the uncertainty radius (according to Georeferencing Quick Reference Guide, Named Place: Defined Area).)
