Summary
Description
Benthic habitat polygon coverages are being created for the Olympic Coast National Marine Sanctuary (OCNMS). ROV, towedcamera sled, bathymetry data, sedimentary samples, and sonar mapping have been integrated to describe the geological, biological,and oceanographic aspects of habitat. OCNMS has collected side scan sonar, multibeam bathymetry, bottom grab and videodata to produce polygon coverages describing the benthic habitat for survey HMPR-116-2005-01d. The habitat polygons haveattributes for megahabitat, bottom induration, mesohabitat, macrohabitat and biology (where direct observations are available),polygon area and perimeter.
