On Wednesday, Tidal Influence was represented by Jade Dean and Tia Blair at the ESRI User's Conference in San Diego, CA. They attended several moderated paper sessions and the topics ranged from: how to track African lions in a wildlife refuge, how to manage invasive species with GIS, and how to use LiDAR data to map vernal pools and monitor coastal erosion. On the EXPO floor, they discussed conservation efforts in southern California with representatives of Algalita, The Trust for Public Land, and NatureServe. The pair also attended meetups with the Southern California Chapter of the Urban and Regional Information Systems Association (SoCal Urisa) and CSU Long Beach's GIS Department. All in all, it was an awesome day for networking and learning the latest and greatest ways to use GIS for conservation!
