Using Global Positioning Systems (GPS) out of a dry box in my kayak to map impacts along rivers in Guatemala and Belize. If you are interested in these watershed and river maps and how they are made, check out the .pdf versions of the Impact Hotspot Mapping Reports that were generated from this mapping process. The reports contain methodology, raw data and map layouts produces for the project. and includes discussions about teh maps and environmental impacts encountered along the river.
