Third Thursday Web Forum: The Southeast Conservation Blueprint Explorer and SECAS Atlas – New ways to access the Blueprint data

"The Southeast Conservation Blueprint Explorer and SECAS Atlas – New ways to access the Blueprint data" with Hilary Morris, Blueprint User Support & Communications, the Southeast Conservation Adaptation Strategy (SECAS)

Tune in to learn about the latest improvements to the Southeast Blueprint Explorer! The Explorer is a simple online viewer that’s intended to make the Blueprint easy for anyone to access without high-tech software or GIS expertise. In addition to the classic features, like watershed and marine lease block summaries and custom reporting, we have expanded the functionality in several ways:

• "Pixel mode" allows you to discover what’s driving the Blueprint priorities within the smallest unit of the analysis: a 30 m x 30 m pixel. 
• Now you can view different underlying layers within the viewer, like indicators, hubs and corridors, and threats, instead of just being able to view the Blueprint priorities!
• "Pixel filtering" allows you to find the part of the Blueprint that aligns with your interests, whether that's the part of the Blueprint that scores highly on a particular indicator, the part that contributes to hubs and corridors, the part that's predicted to urbanize, etc.

In addition to the Blueprint Explorer, the Blueprint data is available on the SECAS Atlas. This ArcGIS Online platform is a gateway to maps, data, and other resources. There, you can view and download data layers, read more about how the data was developed, and create your own maps.

Hilary will provide a live demonstration of how to use the Blueprint Explorer and SECAS Atlas. Suggestions for how to improve both mapping platforms is welcome, as always!
