A GIS-based decision-support system was developed for a US Gulf of Mexico onshore and offshore pipeline that has assisted in locating a cost-effective pipeline route based on landcover type, wetland distribution, and proximity to other environmentally sensitive resources. Described here are the methods used to integrate various sources of available GIS data with satellite imagery and surveyed information. Costs of collecting and processing these data are compared with benefits of the system over use of manual methods.
