  • Georeferencing Method

    Georeferencing Quick Reference Guide, Version 2012. Georeferenced to the shoreline of Nogueira, which is "opposite" or across Lago Tefé from the city of Tefé. Referred to map, "Figure 1: Location map showing rescue and release sites of Neotropical otter" for approximate location of Nogueira (Marmontel, M., Isis Buck Silva, C., Botero-Arias, R. and Miguel, H.A. (2011) Rescue, Tagging and Release of a Neotropical Otter (Lontra longicaudis) in Western Brazilian Amazon. Proceedings of XIth International Otter Colloquium, IUCN Otter Spec. Group Bull. 28B: 36 - 46. http://www.otterspecialistgroup.org/Bulletin/Volume28B/Marmontel_et_al_Fig1.jpg). Using Google Maps, located Nogueira along Lago Tefé in Amazonas, BR. Used Canadensys Lat/Long Crosshairs to find the coordinates of the shoreline along Lago Tefé, south of the geographic center of Nogueira. Used Distance Measurement Tool (Google Maps) to measure from the selected coordinates to the geographic center of the nearest named place, Alvarães; halved this extent to find linear extent. Input coordinates, linear extent (5257.3 m.), and measurement error (.1 m.) into the MaNIS Georeferencing Calculator to find the uncertainty radius.
