Geographic Information Systems (GIS)

Aquatic information and stream survey data collected by Irving fisheries biologists is placed in the company’s GIS system. This computer-generated mapping system compiles the information used by Irving foresters to plan their forestry activity and protect critical fish habitat like salmon spawning beds and holding pools. The GIS system has access to a global positioning unit linked to a depth sounder. It can provide accurate three dimensional lake profiles as part of the GIS database.
