Guam and CNMI Underwater Photomosaics

This data package contains georeferenced underwater photomosaics for more than 600 sites in 0 to 50 meter depths around the islands of Guam and Saipan. The photographs used to create these photomosaics were acquired from August 2021 to May 2022 using digital single-lens reflex camera (DSLR) cameras. Green lasers provided a measurement scale (10 cm). A Trimble GeoXH GPS provided the location of the vessel, and a Blueprint SeaTrac ultra short baseline (USBL) X150 beacon and X010 transponder provided the location and depth (XYZ) of the drop camera. The photographs were georeferenced (i.e., given a latitude and longitude), and mosaicked using a custom Python script (Pierce and Winians, 2023; performed using Agisoft Metashape application programming interface). The field work in Saipan was funded by NOAA National Centers for Coastal Ocean Science (NCCOS) and the NOAA Coral Reef Conservation Program (CRCP). The field work in Guam was funded by the Naval Facilities Engineering Command Marianas (NAVFAC Marianas). Both efforts were conducted in partnership with and in consultation with local partners and the territorial governments.

Pacific angel shark habitat suitability model for Channel Islands National Marine Sanctuary Biogeographic Assessment

The National Marine Sanctuary Program (NMSP) updates and revises the management plans for each of its 13 sanctuaries. This process, which is open to the public, enables each site to revisit the reasons for sanctuary designation and assess whether they are meeting their goals, as well as to set new goals consistent with the mandates of the National Marine Sanctuaries Act. Issues raised by the public during this process are evaluated and a determination is made as to whether they will be incorporated into the updated plan. Many of these issues focus on topics such as the implementation of marine zoning or sanctuary boundary adjustments, both of which require information on the distribution of resources within and around the sanctuary. Recognizing this, NMSP and NOAA's National Centers for Coastal Ocean Science (NCCOS) formalized an agreement to collaborate in the revision process by developing such information through a series of biogeographic assessments conducted in selected sanctuaries. The resulting products are then supplied to sanctuary managers and staff for use in the policy and decision making process. This collaborative effort began along the west coast of the U.S. with the Cordell Bank, Gulf of Farallones, and Monterey Bay national marine sanctuaries, and is herein centered on the Channel Islands National Marine Sanctuary (CINMS).

Fish diversity in central and southern California using fish catch and effort data from the Recreational Fisheries Information Network

This dataset was provided by the Recreational Fisheries Information Network (RecFIN), and contained GPS coordinates for 680 CPFV trips during 1999 and 2001 at depths ranging from 0 - 2200 m.  Fishers targeted specific species during each trip, and visited between 1 and 22 locations.  Each trip/location combination was considered a unique site and was used as a sample unit in analyses.  RecFIN provided information on four hook and line fishing methods: free drift, stationary drift, anchor, and troll.  The trolling trips were removed before analysis because they targeted specific pelagic species and therefore provide limited information about diversity.  The final data set analyzed for diversity contained information on 130 fish species at 4085 trip/location combinations.  Diversity was calculated for each trip/location using the Shannon Index of diversity.  Using ArcGIS, 5 x 5 minute grids were created and mean diversity was calculated for each grid cell containing data.

NCCOS Assessment: Underwater Video for Ground Validation and Accuracy Assessment of Benthic Habitat Maps of the Insular Shelf South of St. Thomas and St. John, U.S. Virgin Islands, 2010-03-20 to 2017-02-10

The presence and absence of the four substrate and four biological cover types were documented at 1,353 locations on the insular shelf south of St. Thomas and St. John. At each location, an underwater camera system was used to collect high definition (HD) video at 30 frames per second at 1080x1920 resolution.  This GIS dataset depicts the location of these underwater videos, as well as the name, location, time collected, and the presence and absence of the substrate and cover types. A portion of these underwater videos (n=1,005) were used to develop the habitat predictions and the composite habitat map. A separate subset of these underwater videos (n=348) were used to assess the performance of the habitat predictions and accuracy of the composite habitat map.

Baseline assessment of benthic communities of the Flower Garden Banks (2010 - present): 2011

The proposed work develop baseline information on fish and benthic communities within the Flower Garden Banks National Marine Sanctuary (FGBNMS). Surveys will employ diving, technical diving, ROV, and hydroacoustics technologies for a comprehensive assessment of the fish and benthic habitat communities of the East and West Bank. The FGBNMS represents the northernmost tropical western Atlantic coral reef on the continental shelf and support the most highly developed offshore hard bank community in the region. The complexity of habitats supports a diverse assemblage of organisms including approximately 250 species of fish, 23 species of coral, and 80 species of algae in addition to large sponge communities. Understanding and monitoring these resources is critical to both sanctuary inventory and management activities. During the course of the sanctuary's management plan review process, the impact of fishing was identified as a priority issue, and the concept of a research only area was suggested. The purpose of this project will be to provide baseline data for all benthic habitats and communities.

Shoreline Mapping Program of  PORT FIDALGO, AK, AK0310

These data provide an accurate high-resolution shoreline compiled from imagery of  PORT FIDALGO, AK .  This vector shoreline data is based on an office interpretation of imagery that may be suitable as a geographic information system (GIS) data layer. This metadata describes information for both the line and point shapefiles. The NGS attribution scheme 'Coastal Cartographic Object Attribute Source Table (C-COAST)' was developed to conform the attribution of various sources of shoreline data into one attribution catalog. C-COAST is not a recognized standard, but was influenced by the International Hydrographic Organization's S-57 Object-Attribute standard so the data would be more accurately translated into S-57.
