The goal of the work was to develop coral reef mapping methods and compare benthic habitat maps generated by photointerpreting georeferenced color aerial photography, hyperspectral and IKONOS satellite imagery. These pointdata were generated to conduct ground validation during map preparation. The National Ocean Service is conducting research todigitally map biotic resources and coordinate a long-term monitoringprogram that can detect and predict change in U.S. coral reefs, andtheir associated habitats and biological communities. The purpose ofthis survey was to investigate areas of imagery where uncertaintiesexist on the photointerpreter's behalf during the decision makingprocess of benthic habitat type for the main Hawaiian Islands. completed National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration(NOAA), National Ocean Service (NOS), National Centers for Coastal Ocean Science (NCCOS), Center for Coastal Monitoring and Assessment(CCMA), Biogeography Branch Biogeography Mapping Manager 301-713-3028 301-723-4384 1305 East West Highway Silver Spring MD 20910 tim.battista@noaa.gov 0800 - 1700, Monday to Friday, EST pointOfContact notPlanned CoRIS_Metadata theme NCEI Geoportal Filter Main 8 Hawaiian Islands Benthic Habitat Mapping 1129 1026 project CRCP Project Geographic Information > Ecological Characterization theme CoRIS Discovery Thesaurus EARTH SCIENCE > Oceans > Coastal Processes > Coral Reefs EARTH SCIENCE > Oceans > Coastal Processes > Coral Reefs > Coral reef ecology > Habitats EARTH SCIENCE > Biosphere > Aquatic Habitat > Reef Habitat EARTH SCIENCE > Biosphere > Aquatic Habitat > Reef Habitat > Description EARTH SCIENCE > Biosphere > Zoology > Corals > Reef monitoring and assessment EARTH SCIENCE > Biosphere > Zoology > Corals > Reef monitoring and assessment > In situ biological theme CoRIS Theme Thesaurus coral reef coralline algae habitat reef submerged aquatic vegetation unconsolidated sediments point zone environmental monitoring oceans theme None OCEAN BASIN > Pacific Ocean > Central Pacific Ocean > Hawaiian Islands > Oahu Island > Oahu (21N157W0003) COUNTRY/TERRITORY > United States of America > Hawaii > Honolulu > Oahu (21N157W0003) place CoRIS Place Thesaurus U.S. Exclusive Economic Zone United States Hawaii Oahu place None The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) National Centers for Coastal Ocean Science(NCCOS) produced this data CD-ROM.

Point GPS data were acquired by repeated occupation of a fixed point yielding a 95% sigma RMS of 5 meters compared to the position mean. Replicate GPS positions were collected after navigating to a way point by boat yielding RMS value of 5 meters. Registered monuments were occupied and replicate positions collected yielding an RMS value of 3 meters. Thus, all point features in these ground validation data are at least 95% sigma of 5 meters. Five hundred sixty six field positions were occupied and habitat characterization conducted for ground validation during this work. These data were included in the dataset as a GIS layer and the first draft map was edited based on this ground truth. All areas where uncertainty existed on the part of the photointerpreter during habitat delineation were investigated in the field. All data were collected and integrated into the mapped products as planned. The sites for ground validation were selected to specifically investigate habitat types and gradients of spectral signatures. All areas where uncertainty existed on the part of the photointerpreter during habitat delineation were investigated in the field. Waypoints in these areas were generated on the geo-referenced imagery. The waypoints were navigated to and occupied. The habitat was observed and GPS data collected. One hundred GPS positions were collected at one-second intervals for each survey site. The positions were averaged to obtain a single survey point. The data were post processed for differential correction. The general area was explored and, as needed, additional GPS positions were collected to mark transitions between habitat types of areas mapped at the level of the minimum mapping unit (MMU). The first draft of each benthic habitat map was generated by visual interpretation of the habitat boundaries from remote sensing imagery, and areas where habitat determination was uncertain were identified. Waypoints in these areas were generated on the geo-referenced imagery and over laid on the draft maps in the GIS. The areas were printed and waterproofed in preparation for taking them into the field. The waypoints were navigated to and occupied using the appropriate size boats. The habitat was observed and GPS data collected. One hundred GPS positions were collected at one-second intervals for each survey site. The positions were averaged to obtain a single survey point. The data were post processed for differential correction. The general area was explored and, as needed, additional GPS positions were collected to mark transitions between habitat types of areas mapped at the level of the minimum mapping unit (MMU). The field ground validation data were overlaid on the imagery with the first draft habitat map in the GIS. The habitat polygons were edited to resolve uncertainties. These ground validation point data are provided in this thematic GIS shape file. 2002-01-01T00:00:00 Miles Anderson Analytical Laboratories of Hawaii, LLC Principal Investigator (808) 262-2417 (808) 262-7027 1320 Aalapapa Dr. Kailua Hawaii 96734 USA miles@interpac.net 0800 - 1700, Monday to Friday, HST processor annually This metadata was automatically generated from the FGDC Content Standards for Digital GeospatialMetadata standard (version FGDC-STD-001-1998) using the 2016-01-11 version of the FGDC RSE to ISO 19115-2 transform.
