Coastal Bend Texas Benthic Habitat Mapping Patchy Shapefile Map - San Antonio Bay and Espiritu Santo Bay (NODC Accession 0070784)
Description
The NOAA Coastal Services Center (CSC) requested the creation of benthic habitat data along the southern Texas coast to support the Texas Seagrass Monitoring Program.The benthic habitat map was created from 1m UltraCam digital airborne imagery collected in November 2007. The imagery was processed into 4-band DOQQs. The benthic habitat map was created from resampled 2m mosaicked orthos. Habitat classification was performed through segmentation of the imagery using Definiens Professional and habitat labeling through Classification and Regression Tree (CART) Analysis. The minimum mapping unit is100m2. This map covers San Antonio and Espiritu Santo Bays which is approximately 370mi2.
