  Why Are Visualization Tools Needed?

Reactions to future management plans will be influenced by experiences of current and past activities.

Good communication produces better understanding of management plans.

Visualization tools help people understand what is likely or possible through effective visual communication.

Visualization can help with understanding these issues:

  • Habitat Disturbance
  • Visual impacts
  • Operational considerations
  • Overall design features
  • Highlighting specific design features
