Good Afternoon,
I am trying to determine the proper projection to use. I am working with
sea turtle satellite data. We have four turtles that are stationary at
the moment off of the coast of Virginia and Delaware. What I am going to
do is analyze and compare the sizes (area) of their home ranges using
the Animal Movement Extension.
So, this is a large scale map covering a small area on the globe and I
want minimal distortion in area so that my home range comparisons are
accurate. I am attempting to use UTM83 projection Zone 18, GRS80
spheroid, map units: meters, distance units: kilometers.
Does anyone foresee a problem with this or do they recommend anything
else?
