    "descript": "A total of 70,585 underwater images were collected at Big Pine Ledge, Florida, in July 2021, using the novel SfM (Structure-from-Motion) Quantitative Underwater Imaging Device with 5 cameras (SQUID-5) system. The SQUID-5 is a towed surface vehicle with five downward-looking underwater cameras developed by the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS), and records images in the Tagged Image File Format (.tif) to maintain the highest resolution and bit depth. Each image includes imagery header metadata (including, but not limited to: Global navigation satellite system (GNSS) date, time, latitude, longitude, and altitude of the GNSS antenna mounted on the vehicle, copyright, and keywords).",

Assessment types include evaluations of ecological or human use value and can include models that project environmental or economic effects of erosion, climate change, dredging, and other stressors. Predictions are the results of models or projections of future distributions, values, or ecological impacts of physical habitats, including predicted changes due to natural and human forces; they are also from scenario-based models of resource losses, gains, or impacts on ecological or economic values under different management strategies (for example, mining, removal, relocation, or the building of structures)."
