Online_Linkage: https://doi.org/10.5066/F74F1PNH Description: Abstract: The Sandy Hook artificial reef, located on the sea floor offshore of Sandy Hook, New Jersey was built to create habitat for marine life. The reef was created by the placement of heavy materials on the sea floor; ninety-five percent of the material in the Sandy Hook reef is rock. In 2000, the U.S. Geological Survey surveyed the area using a Simrad EM1000 multibeam echosounder mounted on the Canadian Coast Guard (CCG) ship Frederick G. Creed. The purpose of this multibeam survey, done in cooperation with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers when the Creed was in the New York region in April 2000, was to map the bathymetry and backscatter intensity of the sea floor in the area of the Sandy Hook artificial reef. The collected data from this cruise are bathymetry, backscatter intensity, and navigation trackline. Purpose: The navigation polyline shapefile shows the track followed by the Canadian Coast Guard ship Frederick G. Creed in the 2000 survey of the Sandy Hook artificial reef. The shapefile can be used to identify line spacing, trackline orientation, and the location of data collection. The attributes record the latitude, longitude, date, and time at the start of each line. The tracklines run approximately north-south parallel to the local bathymetry. Supplemental_Information: Other datasets from the 2000 survey of the Sandy Hook artificial reef may be found in Butman and others (2017) (see larger work citation).

Creed. The Sandy Hook artificial reef area was surveyed in a Zamboni pattern (for efficient turns at high speed) with lines running north-south. The Zamboni pattern yields blocks of northward-run lines adjacent to blocks of southward-run lines. Navigation was by means of differential GPS. Operation of the Simrad EM1000 was carried out by hydrographers of the Canadian Hydrographic Service. The data were collected on Woods Hole Coastal and Marine Science Center field activity 2000-015-FA (https://cmgds.marine.usgs.gov/fan_info.php?fa=2000-015-FA). Process_Step: Process_Description: A suite of processing software, called SwathEd, developed by the Ocean Mapping Group at the University of New Brunswick, Canada, was used to process and grid the multibeam data. Navigation data were edited on-screen using the SwathEd routine jview to remove undesirable points, including turns at the ends of survey lines. Jview also rejects stray GPS fixes outside of the survey area, as set by the operator (see process steps for bathymetry in larger work citation).

Reformat ASCII navigation data collected by the DGPS receiver into an Excel csv formatted ASCII file using the UNIX awk utility. Spacing between points in the trackline is defined by time (1-second intervals). 2. Import the csv file as points into ArcGIS using the Import XY data under the tools menu. 3. Export the point data to a shapefile by right clicking on the point data in the data view window and selecting the Export Data function. 4. Reformat the point shapefile into a line shapefile using the VAC Extras tool -> FeatConv -> Points to line v2 bringing over the first occurrence of line number, longitude, latitude, year, Julian day, hour, minute, and second.
