Abstract
The Georgia Department of Natural
Resources, Stream Survey Team (GDNR-SST) assesses
fish assemblages in wadeable streams throughout
Georgia and has sampled more than 600 stream sites in
the Piedmont, Southeastern Plains, and Ridge and
Valley ecoregions since 1998. The GDNR-SST, in
cooperation with The University of Georgia Center for
Remote Sensing and Mapping Science (UGA-CRMS),
has developed a custom Geographic Information
Systems (GIS) that is interfaced with an external
relational database management system. This system
enables the GDNR-SST to develop and maintain a
comprehensive database representing this sampling
effort and to automate many of the tasks associated
with the process including; data entry, database
management, IBI scoring, watershed delineation, and
report generation. The GIS has been developed using
Environmental Systems Research Institute’s (ESRI)
ArcView, the Avenue Scripting Language, Microsoft
Access, and Visual Basic for Applications (VBA).
