• Georeferencing Method

  Georeferencing Quick Reference Guide, Version 2012. Referred to the ICMBio website for location information for Estação Ecológica de Maracá (http://www.icmbio.gov.br/portal/biodiversidade/unidades-de-conservacao/biomas-brasileiros/amazonia/unidades-de-conservacao-amazonia/1918-esec-de-maraca.html). Georeferenced to the approximate geographic center of the access road to the Estação Ecológica de Maracá on Ilha de Maracá, Roraima. Using Google Maps - Satellite View, located the road which provides access from Rio Uraricoera to the ecological station. Used the Distance Measurement Tool (Google Maps) to measure a straight line between the beginning of this road (meeting of the road and the dock, along Rio Uraricoera) to the location where the road meets the approximate geographic center of the hub of the ecological station, then halved this distance to find the midpoint of the line. Chose a point along the road nearest to the midpoint of the line; used Canadensys Lat/Long Crosshairs to find the coordinates. Used the Distance Measurement Tool (Google Maps) again to find the linear extent by measuring from the selected coordinates to the farthest extent of this road segment. Input coordinates, linear extent (829.264 m), and measurement error (0.5 m) into the MaNIS Georeferencing Calculator to find the uncertainty radius.
