    "descript": "This data set contains swath bathymetric data collected during USGS cruise 06FSH01 aboard the R\/V G.K. Gilbert. A side scan sonar, bathymetric, and high-resolution seismic-reflection survey was conducted off Sarasota, FL to describe the relationship between the sediments and morphology of the inner shelf and adjacent shoreface. These data are part of the Florida Shelf Habitat (FLaSH) map project.  For more information on the seismic surveys see http:\/\/walrus.wr.usgs.gov\/infobank\/g\/g106fl\/html\/g-1-06 -fl.meta.html  These data are also available via GeoMapApp (http:\/\/www.geomapapp.org\/) and Virtual Ocean ( http:\/\/www.virtualocean.org\/) earth science exploration and visualization applications.",

Bathymetry is the elevation of the Earth's surface beneath a body of water, especially the ocean, typically determined by measurements of depth from the water surface at mean lower low water. Distributions are topographic maps and bathymetric charts based on collected data and also include smoothed or gridded maps of bathymetry and elevation from observational data or other associated factors. Assessment data types include models of ecological value, economic value, or current rates of alterations due to erosion, accretion, climate change, and other stressors (for example, wetland habitat loss). Predictions are the results of models or projections of future distributions, values, or ecological impacts of bathymetry, including predicted changes due to natural and human forces such as erosion, deposition, sea-level rise, and dredging activities; predictions also include the results of scenario-based models of bathymetry changes under different management strategies."

Distributions can also include maps or statistics of climatology, the environmental values that are expected to be observed at the present time."
