Student Awards Jury Comments
This project systematically used GIS data compiled from various
sources, including Brevard County and the Florida Geographic Database
Library (FGDL) to study the area surrounding existing preservation
lands in order to determine which lands should be saved so that
the existing preservation areas might be linked, and both sand pine
and xeric oak scrub could be protected. It utilized a series of
overlays and combined these overlays using the rules of logical
combination.
