Description:
Abstract:
This portion of the data release contains an image mosaic generated using digitized 1:35K natural color photographs collected in September 1993 by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) National Ocean Service (NOS) of the Napili-Honokowai area along the northwest coast of Maui. The area is downloadable as a zip file (napili_honokowai_1m.zip) and includes a high-resolution (1.0 meter per pixel) digital image mosaic, as well as a lower-resolution 'browse' image and associated metadata.
Purpose:
The lack of geographic and thematic maps of coral reefs limits our understanding of reefs and our ability to assess change. The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) has the capability to compile digital image mosaics that are useful for creating detailed map products. Image maps covering the shallow near-shore coastal waters have been produced for several of the main Hawaiian Islands, including Hawai'i, Maui, Moloka'i, and O'ahu and are presented in JPEG2000 (.jp2) format.
