The images were collected in cooperation with the National Park Service, primarily in the waters off Kaloko-Honok\u014dhau National Historical Park, Pu\u02bbukohol\u0101 Heiau National Historic Site, and Pu\u02bbuhonua o H\u014dnaunau National Historical Park. The 2003 and 2004 images were acquired using a SeaViewer underwater video camera, either towed behind a research vessel or lowered over the side while drifting. GPS positions from a boat-mounted receiver were encoded into the video. Still frames were extracted from the video and geotagged by writing the geographic positions into each image\u2019s EXIF metadata. The 2022 images were acquired using a Teledyne FLIR camera in an underwater housing. The camera was lowered over the side of the vessel and set to capture one image every two seconds while drifting. GPS positions were recorded using a boat-mounted, differentially processed GPS receiver. The images were geotagged by writing the geographic positions into each image\u2019s EXIF metadata. The time stamps for all images in this data release are in Coordinated Universal Time (UTC). The images provided in this data release were used to evaluate coral cover and were manually classified by a specialist. Only the images used in this project are included in the release.", "distribution": [{"@type": "dcat:Distribution", "accessURL": "https://doi.org/10.5066/P13ZPWNS", "description": "Landing page for access to the data", "format": "XML", "mediaType": "application/http", "title": "Digital Data"}, {"@type": "dcat:Distribution", "description": "The metadata original format", "downloadURL": "https://data.usgs.gov/datacatalog/metadata/USGS.f5463139-9562-4e39-b93b-079df58449cb.xml", "format": "XML", "mediaType": "text/xml", "title": "Original Metadata"}], "identifier": "http://datainventory.doi.gov/id/dataset/USGS_f5463139-9562-4e39-b93b-079df58449cb", "keyword": ["CMHRP", "Coastal and Marine Hazards and Resources Program", "Habitat", "Hawaii County", "Honok\u014dhau Bay", "H\u014dnaunau Bay", "Island of Hawai\u02bbi", "Kaloko-Honok\u014dhau National Historical Park", "Kawaihae Bay", "Kawaihae Reef", "PCMSC", "Pacific Coastal and Marine Science Center", "Physical Habitats and Geomorphology", "Pu\u02bbuhonua Point", "Pu\u02bbuhonua o H\u014dnaunau National Historical Park", "Pu\u02bbukohol\u0101", "Pu\u02bbukohol\u0101 Heiau National Historic Site", "State of Hawaii", "Substrate", "U.S. Geological Survey", "USGS", "USGS:f5463139-9562-4e39-b93b-079df58449cb", "geoscientificInformation", "image collections", "marine geology", "photographic sampling", "sea-floor characteristics", "sediment"], "modified": "2025-09-24T00:00:00Z", "publisher": {"@type": "org:Organization", "name": "U.S. Geological Survey"}, "spatial": "-156.04800, 19.40682, -155.82737, 20.03964", "theme": ["geospatial"], "title": "Underwater imagery of the substrate and coral reef habitat on the Kona coast of the Island of Hawai\u02bbi, from 2003, 2004, and 2022"}
