This document summarizes CSA Ocean Sciences' use of GIS technology in their environmental consulting work. They utilize ArcGIS to store and manage vast amounts of environmental data and make it accessible to clients. Key aspects include using ArcGIS Collector to validate satellite imagery and map environmental sensitivity, and hosting full motion video within ArcGIS Online to allow digitizing features from georeferenced video for environmental assessments and incident response. The ArcGIS platform allows CSA to efficiently conduct environmental studies, compile required regulatory content, and deliver specialized data and tools to clients.

- 2. • CSA’s Comprehensive Environmental Solution • Utilizing ArcGIS Collector • Full Motion Video
- 3. CSA Ocean Sciences Inc. • XX Years of Environmental Consulting Experience • Office locations both Domestic and International • XX number of Environmental Documents • Librarian Services (Member of Inter-Library Loan) • It’s our job to know what the environmental standards and regulations are for each client in each region. This information is used to help us put together the environmental documents for the clients.
- 5. CSA’s Role…… • It’s our job to know what the environmental standards and regulations are for each client in each region. This information is used to help us put together the environmental documents for the clients. • Often we know what the client’s needs are better than the client.

- 10. Regulations • The datasets gathered and staged then allow for use within the environmental community. • Available to help meet regulations and recommendations.
- 12. Environmental Sensitivity Index (ESI) Mapping • ESI maps and associated information are most useful when compiled in an atlas. An ESI atlas is a regional collection of maps packaged with additional resources and metadata that further explain map features. • When an accident such as an oil spill occurs, an ESI atlas helps to: ▫ Focus the spatial extent with speed and efficiency ▫ Predict environmental consequences ▫ Determine associated clean-up efforts
- 13. Collector for ArcGIS ArcGIS Online • We verify and validate satellite image interpretation using published literature, photographs and imagery • We utilize up-to-date, high- resolution, orthorectified satellite imagery • We conduct field verification surveys in order to properly interpret: • Sediment type • Shoreline geomorphology • Identification of vegetation types • Identification of intertidal and shallow subtidal organisms • Motile resources (marine birds, sea turtles, sea turtle nests) Environmental Sensitivity Index (ESI) Mapping
- 15. What is Full Motion Video (FMV)? • Allows you to play live streams of video or video files in your map • Frames from the video can be extracted as single georeferenced images, or groups of images stored in a mosaic dataset • Playback of time-stamped video data can be synchronized with other time-enabled data and played together on the map • Features can be digitized directly on the video player and will appear on the map
- 16. What is Full Motion Video (FMV)? • Based on Motion Imagery Standards Board (MISB) • Originally developed for Department of Defense • ESRI Add-In available (free) http://www.arcgis.com/home/item.html?id=e8c47c6b4d634b6 aba6a5a2e3a9e16a9 • Supports playback and management of multiple simultaneous feeds of video • Display the footprint of the video image, the center of the image, and the position and track of the video platform
- 17. Full Motion Video (FMV) Capabilities Full Motion Video ▫ Specially captured and processed video that is georeferenced for use in a GIS ▫ Video can be used as Visual intelligence tool Source for data capture through heads-up digitizing (tracing) of features of interest ▫ Full Motion Video maintains data integrity All navigation metadata maintained within video file ▫ ESRI Full Motion Video Add-in Allows viewer to add point, line, polygon features within video
