San Francisco Bay Multi-beam Bathymetry: Area A

Description

These multi-beam bathymetric data were collected over shallow subtidal areas in the San Francisco Bay estuary system. Bathymetric and acoustic backscatter data were collected simultaneously in 84 survey blocks. Seventy five of these blocks were surveyed with 100% cover of backscatter imagery and nine blocks were surveyed with 50% backscatter coverage. These data were collected as source material for planned benthic habitat mapping. An earlier project had been completed to map the very-shallow subtidal and intertidal areas. These mosaics were collected with the Reson Seabat 7101 multibeam sonar system in the San Francisco Bay. For this San Francisco Bay habitat mapping project, seven survey blocks were acquired with the Reson 7101 sonar, as these seven areas contained water depths that were predominantly deeper than 20 meters.
