Vittor and Associates, Inc. to conduct digital aerial image surveys of submerged aquatic vegetation (SAV) in and around Mobile Bay, Alabama in 2002. Two data sets were the result: digital vector data from imagery collected during summer 2002, and GPS field points data collected between July 2002 and April 2003 to groundtruth the imagery. The intended use of this data set is to provide an assessment of the status and trends of the distribution of submerged aquatic vegetation along the Alabama Coast in 2002.
