Process_Description:
FWRI staff used the Dissolve tool in ArcTools to create a single multi-part polygon from the individual polygons from the GUIS file, "Santa_Rosa_SR_East_2010_LeastTern.shp". Added field to identfy the colony names based on the original filenames. Used the Append Tool to combine feature polygon from the preceding file to the polygons in: Fort_Pickens_2010_B_C_Colony_LeastTern.shp, Fort_Pickens_2010_Entrance_Station_LeastTern.shp, Fort_Pickens_2010_ES_East_Colony_LeastTern.shp, Fort_Pickens_2010_Lot_21_Colony_LeastTern.shp, Santa_Rosa_Navarre_2010_LeastTern.shp, and Santa_Rosa_SR_East_2010_LeastTern.shp. Reprojected new dataset ro Florida Modified Albers.
