hab116_0501s - Habitat polygons for an area offshore of Point of the Arches. Results from HMPR-116-2005-01s acoustic survey in Olympic Coast National Marine Sanctuary.

Description

Benthic habitat polygon coverages are being created for the Olympic Coast National Marine Sanctuary (OCNMS). ROV, towed camera sled, bathymetry data, sedimentary samples, and sonar mapping have been integrated to describe the geological, biological, and oceanographic aspects of habitat. OCNMS has collected side scan sonar, multibeam bathymetry, bottom grab and video data to produce polygon coverages describing the benthic habitat for survey HMPR-116-2005-01s. The habitat polygons have attributes for megahabitat, bottom induration, mesohabitat, macrohabitat and biology (where direct observations are available),polygon area and perimeter.
