Compliment manatee biological studies (conducted by USGS FISC - Gainesville) by providing current bathymetry coverage and seabed classification
Location
10,000 Islands FL
Summary
Five days of surveyed bathymetric tracklines; acquisition of xyz, accompanied with 5 days of static base station occupation for differential navigation. The single beam waveform was recorded concurrently using SEABED classification system (a USGS designed acquisition software)
Info derived
Single beam bathymetry (X, Y, Z) data: Purpose is to acquire the latest bathymetry and seabed waveform classification to assist in defining sea grass habitats and bathymetric contours in areas known to have manatee occupation. Products are data set and maps
