Species Protection Area Tools – Primary Area
Goal: define protection areas for species habitat locations according to rules that vary from state to state
Example:
• US FWS Critical Habitat (CH) locations
• Polygon based on aggregation of selected quarter sections
• Positioning rules:
• Maximize number of overlapping CH locations
• Minimize area of agricultural land cover

Species Protection Area Tools – Challenges
• Quarter section creation problem due to inability to automatically find corners
• Manually define corners and pass to procedure
