San Francisco
Bay Joint Venture (SFBJV) Partners are undertaking a wide array of
wetland, creek and associated upland projects throughout the
region.
The SFBJV helps partners put habitat
restoration, acquisition and enhancement projects on the ground
by connecting partners with the funding opportunities, information
and resources they need to make projects happen. There is
an exciting new tool available that will greatly enhance the
conservation efforts of the SFBJV and it’s partners.
Working with the SFBJV, Ducks Unlimited staff have created
a comprehensive, yet user-friendly habitat project tracking
system that will help the SFBJV with their facilitation role
and help the partnership track regional progress towards the
goals defined in Restoring the Estuary, the SFBJV Implementation
Strategy. This database system holds information on habitat
projects - acquisition, restoration, enhancement and associated
education and outreach projects. There is also a GIS component
where partners can map projects, perform queries and generate
.jpg maps to save for use in reports, presentations, etc.
Thanks to the extensive partner input through a series of
reviews and demonstrations, we believe this system will meet
JV partner needs and will be easy to use and update.
Partners
and interested parties access project information through
an interactive online user-interface. The system provides
the following benefits: the ability to easily generate project
maps and reports; information that can assist with project
planning; a forum for better networking and information sharing;
a forum for sharing project information with potential funders;
and many other valuable tools and resources. The GIS functions
give users the abilities to: view surrounding land uses, features,
and projects; perform various queries; map and measure project
sites; and much more.
