prototype 5.0- precision & abstraction

So with my model, I realize I need to be more precise in what I am representing. The first step towards that is to collect more accurate information. I compiled a large ArcMap document with the following data of my Golden Meadow- Port Fourchon transect:

- bathymetric/topography data

- breakline data (change in surface cover ie. vegetation to water or land)

- wetland gradient (saline-intermediate-fresh)

- oil infrastructure: wells, pipelines, & platforms

- aerial photos

- salinity points/gradient
