Favor?

Can anyone make shapefiles from the Geodatabase Restore Pot II Round 1.7z?

This is OC's data, please credit and share back if you poke around with it

Hey Scott

 

Below are links to the restoration projects GIS data we used in our maps. There is no metadata explaining the fields and feature classes so hopefully everything will be self-explanatory. Feel free to ask any questions.

 

Cheers

Matt

Matt,

 

I was wondering if you had a kmz or kml (or a csv or shapefile) of OC's map of NRDA / NFWF projects that you could share.

 

 

 

I was compiling a similar GIS to share with GOMA, ELI, RESTORE and others as an open database for communicating the Gulf Restoration projects. 

 

( I also have the older NOAA database from the NRDA scoping, if you're interested in that very large dataset of project proposals)

 

Did you build the map from the Coalition letter to the Council?

 

GRN wanted to have the locations of projects available as a layer behind our primary layer, which is pictures of people's stories from our Gulf Future Salons--about how people interacted with BP and Government's response to the spill, as well as the restoration process.

 

 

Our display would be similar to yours for now, one webpage with a links to other mapping efforts.

 

Of course, I would share-alike any geodata that we construct with OC and others.

 

Are you able to share the restoration database with the locations?  OC would be credited for the work, and we would link to your map as a reference. 

 

If you can, please send me a file to this email.

 

cc'd are a few of y'all, who I talked to, as well as Matt Phillips who is working on this from our office.

 

 

As always, thanks for your work and your time

 

Scott

These look like ArcGIS files so I'll assume you don't have ArcGIS installed. If the file format is older than ArcGIS v10.0 then you'll need to find an ArcGIS installation. Apparently there is no open source solution for formats less than v10.0. If v10.0 and up then QGIS may work. What OS are you running?

One solution (untested) for the Mac is to install gdal and the FileGDB API. The steps are basically:

1. Install Homebrew
2. Download the FileGDB API for Mac here.
3. Extract FileGDB API and notice there is a lib folder and an include folder.
4. Copy the include folder to /usr/local/include and the lib folder to /usr/local/lib
5. Install gdal with --> 'brew install gdal --enable-unsupported'

It's seems easier to just use ArcGIS for this (the joy of proprietary formats!) so if possible I'd start there. You could load and view them with ArcGis Explorer (free software) but won't be able export them. Someone else might know better.

Im converting the files now. Do you need anything else besides shapfiles?
