Land Treatment Planning Tool planning map
The Land Treatment Planning Tool provides a practical resource for managers who are planning restoration and rehabilitation actions on public lands. The Planning Tool is a user friendly, web-based interface to Geographic Information System (GIS) maps and tools, and requires little to no GIS experience to generate a variety of spatial products.

Pohoiki boat ramp and sand bar
Close view of the Pohoiki boat ramp during this morning's overflight. The southern-most flow margin has not advanced significantly toward the Pohoiki boat ramp, but black sand and larger fragments from the entry areas have washed ashore to create a sand bar and beach at this site.
