  • Georeferencing Method

    Georeferencing Quick Reference Guide, Version 2012. Because the precise location of Fazenda Barra do Manguinho could not be determined; Georeferenced to a point 3.5 km due W from the boundary of the beach closest to the (rightward) turnoff to an unnamed side-road from BA-001 approximately 10 km from the neighborhood of Pontal on the way to the town of Olivença, Mun. Ilhéus, Bahia. Used Google Maps - Satellite View, and Distance Measurement Tool (Google Maps) to locate the specified unnamed side-road, and the western boundary of the beach closest to the specified intersection (-14.9015624 -39.0209484). Used Canadensys Lat/Long Crosshairs to find the coordinates of the beach boundary. Used Distance Measurement Tool (Google Maps) to find the linear extent of the starting location of the offset by measuring from the selected coordinates directly out perpendicular to the shoreline to the furthest part of exposed beach before reaching the water. To find the 3.5 km W offset: input coordinates, linear extent (74.47 m), measurement error (0.01 m), offset distance (3500 m), offset direction (W), and distance precision (100 m) into the MaNIS Georeferencing Calculator to find the uncertainty radius (according to the Georeferencing Quick Reference Guide, Offset: Offset at a heading).
