The cartographic tool is the basis of the decision-making process. Ducks Unlimited Canada, in collaboration with the Department of the Environment, the offices of Ducks Unlimited in other provinces and other players, is currently using geomatic tools to produce satellite images for the purpose of analyzing wetlands. So these people are producing maps.
To answer the question asked earlier, with the available tools, geomatic cartography is also an effective way to monitor changes in wetlands over time. Cartographic tools quite obviously have a degree of reliability. In certain situations, you have to go into the field to check boundaries and the species present. That is essential. However, this is a basic tool to assist in making all planning decisions based on the cartographic surveys that are conducted.
