This survey was conducted as part of a larger study of the effectiveness of no-fishing reserves in protecting grouper spawning aggregations. Field activity information for this cruise is available on-line through the U.S. Geological Survey Coastal and Marine Geoscience Data System at https://cmgds.marine.usgs.gov/fan_info.php?fa=2000-005-FA. Purpose: These data represent the navigation associated with each line of sidescan-sonar data collected during USGS field activity 2000-005-FA.

Completeness_Report: These files represent all of the sidescan sonar navigation extracted from QMIPS files during USGS field activity 2000-005-FA. The only navigation files not included are the navigation files from test lines. Positional_Accuracy: Horizontal_Positional_Accuracy: Horizontal_Positional_Accuracy_Report: Differential GPS, with an Ashtech BR2G beacon receiver, was used to navigate the ship. The towfish navigation system was a Benthos DS 7000 acoustic deck set that used range to towfish to account for layback of the towfish. The position of the towfish was corrected using HYPAK 8.9 and ISIS software. The range to fish did not always work well. The assumed approximate horizontal offset is 20-30 meters. Lineage: Process_Step: Process_Description: The SIS 1000 towfish by Datasonics was used to collect all of the sidescan-sonar data at a 400 m total swath width. The data were recorded using ISIS by Triton Elics International in QMIPS format.

The files were demultiplexed using a 4x3 sample interval and a normalization value of 8192. One result of the demultiplexing of the QMIPS file is the output navigation file with fixes approximately every 2 minutes. > Danforth, W. W., T. F. O'Brien, and W. C. Schwab. 1991.

A second PYTHON script was written to take this text file and convert it to a shapefile outside of ArcGIS using the shapefile.py class file.
