On the left-hand side of the map, you'll see the legend with a tab labelled "Summary Tool"
-
Keep clicking into the area you wish to produce a summary. Areas highlighted blue are areas where there is enough intactness to produce a summary.
-
Most large water bodies will auto-generate the zone around it when clicked on the area
-
On the right-hand side of the map, you'll see a function to "Change to Draw Mode" where you create your own defined area using polygon drawing feature, by clicking on the square box icon. You can then name the summary.
-
Either way of selecting an area, simply click "Create Report" and a summary will be automatically generated clearly showing what percentage of High to Very Low riparian intactness in that area.
-
The map image can be zoomed in/out, and the entire summary exported as a jpeg.
