March 2017 bathymetry (MLLW) of Coyote Creek and Alviso Slough, South San Francisco Bay, California (1-m resolution bathymetry collected in Coyote Creek and Alviso Slough in March 2017. Projection = UTM, zone 10 in meters, Horizontal Datum = NAD83 (CORS96), Vertical Datum = MLLW, all units in meters. The surveys extend east from Calaveras Point along Coyote Creek to the railroad bridge, along Alviso Slough to the town of Alviso (just over 7 km), and along the 3.7 km of Guadalupe Slough closest to the San Francisco Bay, California.)
