This deliverable contains a memo outlining the process and result of undertaking a Weighted Multi-Criteria Evaluation and Fuzzy Overlay Analysis. Using ArcMap 10.1, an industry leading GIS software package, these two methods were utilized to determine the most suitable areas for re-introduction and survival of the Osmunda Finlayensis fern species. It was determined that the results derived from the Weighted Multi-Criteria Evaluation are the best because the methods were carefully planned and there are no findings to discredit the outcome. Within this result, there are a total of 359 suitable areas that can support one of the 110 ferns per area.
