Georeferencing Method
Georeferencing Quick Reference Guide, Version 2012. Georeferenced to the main entrance of the Estaçao de Biologia Marinha Mello Leitao (renamed as the "Estação Biologia Marinha Ruschi" in 1983; http://www.aracruz.es.gov.br/turismo/atracoes-turisticas/5/"), in Mun. Aracruz, Espírito Santo. Using Google Maps - Street View, along with the instructions provided in the website listed above ("Acesso: Rodovia ES-010 - Km 3,5 – Distrito Santa Cruz"), and another map (http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_SouUGRN03SI/Ss4VA0ACcjI/AAAAAAAAANo/sfN6XEDhBcQ/s400/mapa_aracruz.jpg) found the entrance the Estaçao de Biologia Marinha. Using Google Maps - What's Here tool, found coordinates (final) for the main entrance to the station. Because the boundaries of the biological station itself are poorly defined, and no map of its boarders could be found, used the road surrounding the area where the station is located as a conservative proxy for the boundaries of the station. Used Google Maps - Measure Distance tool to find linear extent by measuring from the selected coordinates at the entrance to the station to the farthest extent of forested area within the surrounding road (-19.954875, -40.150176). Input linear extent (2166.5 m), coordinate precision (0.00001 degrees), datum (WGS84), and measurement error (0.5 m) into the MaNIS Georeferencing Calculator to find the Uncertainty radius (according to Georeferencing Quick Reference Guide, Named Place: Defined area).
