End Edge
Click the

button (or

(Figure 46). A dialog box will prompt you to describe the End Edge (Figure 47). Note that the
screen changes from the Transect Tab to the Edges Tab. This allows detailed viewing of the
edge data collection. Be sure to collect at least 10 samples at the ending edge. Try to keep the
vessel as stationary as possible.
