Abstract:
This map book contains cartographic products derived from the American Samoa Watershed and Coastal Mapping project for Fatumafuti, Faga'alu, and Utulei villages, conducted in American Samoa in January 2014. These maps are based on information gathered through participatory mapping workshops held in each village, where participatory GIS methods were used to generate spatial data on coastal and watershed uses and characteristics. The project is intended to fill a critical information gap regarding human activities and issues relating to water quality in these coastal watersheds, which include a NOAA Coral Reef Conservation Program priority watershed site, in order to better inform planning and management activities.
