Teaching myself to use ArcGIS began with the limitations of publicly available data (such as wastewater effluent permits) with a lack of visualization to see how Alaska's ecosystems are impacted. This ArcGIS map has layers to show wastewater treatment plant effluent and sample sites for microplastic research I conducted on Homer Spit, along with more information about each site. I hope to add oil rigs, landfills, airports, etc. to the map as well as Cook Inlet/Kachemak Bay water circulation layers, that way the viewer can get a better understanding of what moves where in our waters.
It is a work in progress and I'm still a beginner, but if you have any requests for sites that could/should be added, please contact me!
