• Description:
  Understanding who visits coastal and marine areas, as well as the reasons for their visits, is crucial for natural resource managers. However, this information is often unavailable and expensive to collect. This mapbook uses technological advances in smartphone tracking technology to display spatial and temporal visitor use trends within the Middle Peninsula Habitat Focus Area in Virginia.
