Description:
Abstract:
Benthic habitat polygon coverages have been created for marine reserve locations surrounding the Santa Barbara Basin. Diver, ROV and submersible video transects, bathymetry data, sedimentary samples, and sonar mapping, have been integrated to describe the geological, biological, and oceanographic aspects of habitat. Anacapa Reserve, is part of the Marine Ecological Reserves Research Program (MERRP). The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS), in a cooperative project with Sea Grant-MERRP and investigators at National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS), the Channel Islands National Marine Sanctuary (CINMS), and National Park Service (NPS) has collected sidescan sonar and video data to produce a polygon coverage. The habitat polygons have attributes for megahabitat, bottom induration, macrohabitat (where macrohabitat observations are available), polygon area, polygon perimeter, and water depth. The habitat GIS shows rocky habitat suitable for rockfish (Sebastes sp.), abalone (Haliotis sp.), and other threatened benthic species from the shoreline out to the 100-m depth limit of the survey.
Purpose:
These data are intended for science researchers, students, policy makers, and the general public. The data can be used with geographic information systems (GIS) software to display geologic and oceanographic information.

Habitat polygons dervived in ArcGIS 9.0 from a georefereced sidescan sonar mosaic tiff.
Habitat attribute types are from Greene, G.H., Yoklavich, M.M., Starr, R.M., O'Connell, V.M., Wakefield, W.W., Sullivan, D.E., McRea, J.E., and Cailliet, G.M., 1999. A classification scheme for deep seafloor habitats. Oceanologica Acta, 22, 663-678.
Macrohabitat attributes assignments are limited to areas where bottom video has been collected.
Logical_Consistency_Report:
Polygon topology present. Every polygon has a label and are all polygons closed
Completeness_Report:
Macrohabitat classification is missing where video information is lacking
Positional_Accuracy:
Horizontal_Positional_Accuracy:
Horizontal_Positional_Accuracy_Report:
Accuracy of the horizontal coordinates is on the order of 10 m based on uncertainty in position of sidescansonar fish relative to ships gps position.

Process_Description:
Nadine Golden started here. //Created grids and polygons from original image files. 1. Converted images to grids in ArcInfo: Note: divided hard layer into 2 layers: -first layer includes of all rock data -second rock layer included only the bright homogeneous areas. -merged these 2 layers for final hard grid nanp1hrd4g. 2. Converted grids to polygons for editing using ArcGIS Spatial Analysis Extension's Reclassify option. 3. Edited, cleaned, polygons -cleaned up all layers: wiped out the nadir and noise areas classified as hard, mixed or soft bottom. 4. Converted polygons back to grids using ArcGIS Spatial Analysis Extension option: Feature to Rasture. //Merged final grids to make one grid of all layers 1. Created a fourth grid of all data area and assigned gridcode to 128--half way between soft and mixed. 2. Merged all grids in Spatial Analyst tool Raster Calculator -set option to Extent-->union of inputs. -used the merge command in raster calculator dialogue box: nanp1mhab1g = merge([nanp1mhrd4g - nanp1mhrd4g],[nanp1mix9g - nanp1mix9g],[nanpsand2g - nanpsand2g],[nanapalldata2 - nanapalldata2]) //Filtered grid to decrease polygon total steps: 1. filtered original grid using the "low" filter default (two passes were required to create a grid that resolved to under 100,000 polygons): filter nanp1mhab13g nanp1mhab14g filter nanp1mhab14g nanp1mhab15g 2. reclassified new grid using spatial anlysis reclassification option and the following remap categories: 1-128 : 85 129-189 : 170. 190-255 : 255 3. converted new floating point grid to an integer grid. secru1mhab8g = int(secru1mhab7g). 4. Using ArcGIS, ArcToolbox Raster to Features, converted new floating integer grid to polygon shapefile new polygon shapefile: 85,257 polygons (note: original polygon shapefile: 171,781 polygons)

Benthic habitat classification attributes: megahabitat, bottom induration, meso-macrohabitat, and modifiers from Green and others, 1999. CODE is a combination of the habitat attributes. MEGA_ID is usually S for Shelf, but may be F for basin or canyon flank. BOTTOM_ID is h for hard bottom, m for mixed hard and soft bottom, or s for soft sediment bottom MSO_MRC_ID are visual observations when sand waves (w) were observed. These macrohabitats described in Greene and others 1999. MDFR_ID are modifiers to describe the texture or lithology of the seafloor and appear in the code preceded by an underscore (_). Including; fractured (_f), differently eroded (_d), kelp (_k), and limestone (_l)
