Maryland “Greenprints” Ecologically Sensitive Areas
Putting it’s money where its maps are, the state of Maryland produced a map of ecologically sensitive areas including protected lands and other areas. Governor O’Malley, who I interviewed in September about his use of GIS, unveiled the map to other Maryland officials (Source: The Capital). The map, while saving paper, hence the name "greenprint," is interactive in that you can click on a county and a bar and pie chart will reveal the acres of land "out of targeted ecological areas" and "protected and unprotected targeted ecological areas" respectively.
