Title: seagrass_esterobay_2004
Geospatial_Data_Presentation_Form: vector digital data
Description:
Abstract:
The dataset serves as documentation of the seagrass habitat within Lower Charlotte Harbor and Estero Bay as it existed January 2004. Seagrass data was photointerpreted from 2004 1:24,000 scale natural color aerial photography and classified using the SFWMD modified FLUCCS classification system. Features were stereoscopically interpreted from the aerotriangulated aerial photography and vector data was compiled using analytical stereoplotters. Horizontal accuracy of meets NMAS for 1:12,000 scale maps. The minimum mapping unit for classification was 0.5 acres.
Purpose:
Creation of a 2004 seagrass map from 1:24,000 scale natural color aerial photography that is consistent with and aligned to the previous 1999 and 2003 seagrass maps. This data was produced for the SFWMD's "Estero Bay 2004 Seagrass Distribution from Boca Grande to Wiggins Pass Post 2004 Hurricanes" project.

The positional accuracy of this data meets USGS NMAS for 1:12000 scale maps. This data has a minimum classification accuracy of 90% for all categories. Mapping conventions applied to the delineation and classification of seagrass categories were:1) Outer boundaries of beds are more important than internal structure (patchiness, shapes of sand patches within beds).2) Outer boundaries of beds are more important than density categorization within beds.3)Minimum Mapping Unit (MMU) is 0.5 acres. It is more important to include small isolated patches than similar sized patches that were a part of a large matrix. Care shold be taken in mapping small areas of seagrass when only a small amount of seagrass is present, e.g. around a spoil island.a. When deciding whether an area with patches of seagrass was one polygon of patchy seagrass or individual seagrass polygons, apply guideline 3 with a MMU of 0.5 acres. Err on the side of lumping except in areas where small patches are the only seagrass present.b. If an area has a few patches, all <0.25 acres, include the polygon of patchy seagrass if the total seagrass area is >0.5 acres. Err on the side of including these rather than excluding them.

Logical_Consistency_Report:
Comparison of the completed seagrass coverage with other data of similar accuracy was performed. The 2004 Seagrass coverage was compared to the 2003 and 1999 Seagrass coverage so that the differences between the coverages could be analyzed. This was done during photointerpretation and quality assurance.Polygon topology present. All polygons were tested for closure and no dangles, slivers, or pseudo nodes exist. Every polygon has a label, there are no multiple labels within polygons, there are no contiguous polygons.
Completeness_Report:
Minimum mapping unit for seagrass polygons is 0.5 acres. The study area boundaries for the project were defined by the SFWMD. Seagrass habitat features were captured and classified according to the rules, conventions, and descriptions in the Statement of Work and the Photointerpretation Key for the "Estero Bay 2004 Seagrass Distribution from Boca Grande to Wiggins Pass Post 2004 Hurricanes" Seagrass Mapping project.

Process_Description:
PhotointerpretationPhotointerpretation for the project was accomplished on Avineon's Zeiss P3 analytical stereoplotters.Seagrass covertype boundaries were photogrammetrically digitized using CadMap/dgn software running on Windows 2000 workstations. This software directly captures digital data into MicroStation NT (Bentley Microsystems, Inc.) for later importation to ARC/INFO.Photointerpreters utilized previously collected field data and in-process collection of field data along with other available collateral data to assist in their interpretation. Throughout the photointerpretation process, positional accuracy of seagrass boundaries was maintained according to the photographic signatures apparent on the photography.The following coding and classification system was applied during photointerpretation:CODE CLASS NAME5400Bays and Estuaries (Open Water)5700Marine (Gulf of Mexico)6510Tidal Flats7100Beaches (Other than swimming beaches)9113Seagrass - Patchy9116Seagrass - Continuous 9121Attached Algae0Not Classified (land)Classification ConventionsThe following classification conventions were used in order to ensure consistency of delineation:Bays and Estuaries are delineated using code of 5400. All permanently flooded, open water, non-vegetated areas within the study area to the brackish seaward limits.Marine (Gulf of Mexico) are delineated using code of 5700. Includes only the marine open waters of the Gulf of Mexico. Marine (5700) was separated from Bays and Estuaries (5400) by dividing lines extending across the mouths of inlets that join the two classification types.Tidal Flats areas are delineated using code of 6510. Tidal Flats are areas of sand or mud that are exposed at least once during the year or are capable of supporting seagrass populations for that segment of the water body (i.e. approximately six feet of depth).Non-Swimming Beaches are delineated using code of 7100. Isolated strands of open (non-vegetated) sand, not typically accessible (on islands and fringes).Continuous, dense seagrass beds are delineated using code of 9116. These areas exhibit a continuous and uniform signature. Small, (less than one-quarter acre) sandy bottom features may be interspersed within the bed, but these areas are not dominant. Areas that appear as continuous beds of seagrass communities, regardless of species composition, will be mapped.Patchy seagrass beds are delineated using a code of 9113. This category appears as singular, isolated patches of seagrass or extensive areas of patch strands mixed with open bottom. Typically these areas appear as rounded clumps, or as elongated strands mixed with sand.Attached Algae are delineated using code of 9121. Only pure stands of green algae, Caulerpa prolifera, are mapped. All polygons mapped as algae (9121) are field verified during the mapping process. When Caulerpa prolifera co-exists with seagrass beds, only the grass is mapped where beds of attached algae may be distinguishable from seagrass. Where feasible, they should be mapped and field verified if >10% cover.While performing the photointerpretation for this project, the following guidelines were used:A. The outer boundaries of beds are more important than internal structure (patchiness, shapes of sand patches within) of beds.B. The outer boundaries of beds are more important than density categorization within beds.C.The minimum mapping unit is .5 acres. It is more important to include small isolated patches than similar sized patches that are part of a larger seagrass complex. Care is taken in mapping small areas of seagrass when only a small amount of seagrass is present, e.g., around a spoil island. Under this guideline, small isolated (i.e. Stand alone) patches of seagrass will be mapped wherever visible on the photography. Within patchy (9113) seagrass beds each .5 acre "patch" is not mapped individually because the entire bed is the mapped object. This process occurred October 2005 through February 2006.

Process_Description:
Quality Assurance and Quality ControlAvineon has established, documented, implemented and maintains a quality management system and continually improves its effectiveness in accordance with the requirements of ISO 9001:2000, Quality Management System Requirements.Avineon's Quality System encompasses customer order entry, design and development, purchasing and receipt of parts and materials, identification and traceability, stocking and issuance of parts and materials, test, inspection, storage, packaging, shipping, delivery and service. Avineon, Inc.'s Quality System meets or exceeds the requirements of ISO 9001:2000, Quality Management Systems - Requirements.Our Quality System is designed to ensure products/materials provided by Avineon are subject to adequate control of quality to ensure customer satisfaction. This system is designed to prevent discrepancies from occurring and is enforced with positive corrective action when necessary.Quality control reviews were ongoing throughout the project. The datasets were examined for adherence to mapping conventions, the PI Key, spatial and classification accuracy, and photointerpretation consistency. Below is a description of the quality control steps that were used for the 2003 Lower Charlotte Harbor and Estero Bay Seagrass Mapping Project.Aerial Photography Quality AssuranceUpon receipt of the January 2004 aerial photography, Avineon inspected them for tonal balance and contrast, complete areal coverage, and defects prior to acceptance.Control Point, Aerotriangulation and Positional AccuracyAvineon used previously collected surveyed ground control points from the 1999 seagrass mapping project and supplemented them with control points from USGS DOQ's. A Fully Analytical Aerial Triangulation (FAAT) method to extend the ground control was completed. No analog, semi-analytical or high to low triangulation procedures were used. Residuals from the FAAT were continually checked and approved by a photogrammetrist prior to stereocompilation.Avineon used a Zeiss Planicomp analytical stereo instrument for point mensuration. These instruments are calibrated by Zeiss, as a quality assurance practice, on a regular basis. Our analytical stereoplotters were last calibrated in April 2003.Bundle adjustment was performed using PATB software with blunder detection and self-calibration.The positional accuracy of the photointerpreted data was checked by comparing it with positions extracted from the USGS DOQs. The DOQs meet the same positional accuracy required for the project and represent an excellent source for comparison.In-Process Photointerpretation Quality AssuranceAvineon's Project Manager and the designated QA Photointerpreter systematically reviewed seagrass delineations and classifications interpreted from the aerial photographs.During quality control review using the analytical stereoplotter, the QA Photointerpreter reviewed the seagrass delineations interpreted on the aerial photographs (these data existed as a .dgn file at this stage of production). A Zeiss analytical stereoplotter with dual optics, that allows two photointerpreters to view the photos simultaneously, was used to point out suggested corrections to the original photointerpreter for correction or revision. The original photointerpreter completed the required revisions and resubmitted the data to the QA Photointerpreter. The work was checked again by the quality assurance photointerpreter prior to delivery as a draft product to the District.Logical Consistency ChecksComparison of the completed seagrass coverage with other data of similar accuracy was performed. The 2004 Seagrass coverage was compared to the 1999 and 2003 Seagrass coverages so that the differences between the coverages could be analyzed. This was done during photointerpretation and quality assurance.GIS Coverage Quality ControlThe quality of the ArcGIS digital data was monitored by a combination of manual and automated analyses. A set of automated quality control programs were used to check for errors, such as missing polygon label points, label points with no attributes, invalid attribute codes, missing attributes within the info tables, and two adjacent polygons with the same attributes.

Process_Description:
Final Arc Info CoverageAt the conclusion of the photointerpretation task the Cadmap/dgn data file produced on the analytical stereoplotter was translated to ARC/INFO. Once the data were exported to ARC/INFO, processes for building topology and validating the coverage were completed.Unique identifiers (record numbers) for resulting polygons were assigned automatically by the system according to normal ARC/INFO conventions. Before generating label points for each polygon, the graphics were further validated to ensure that no dangling arcs escaped the polygon-building step. Dangling arcs were detected and corrected during an interactive ArcEdit session by technicians trained in vector polygon cleanup.A 2004 ARC/INFO seagrass polygon coverage of the entire Lower Charlotte Harbor and Estero Bay Seagrass Project area was delivered on compact disk.

Enumerated_Domain_Value_Definition:
Bays and Estuaries; All permanently flooded, open water, non-vegetated areas within the study area to the consistency of brackish water. The photosignature for 5400 is usually a smooth, bluish-green color, but can sometimes appear dark blue depending on water depth and turbidity levels. It can usually be found on the deeper edges of seagrass beds and in residential canals. Sometimes a 5400 polygon will be elongated and linear with straight edges, denoting a man-made channel dredged through a shallow water area (i.e. Intracoastal Waterway).

Enumerated_Domain:
Enumerated_Domain_Value: 5700
Enumerated_Domain_Value_Definition:
Marine (Gulf of Mexico); Includes only the marine open waters of the Gulf of Mexico. Marine was separated from Bays and Estuaries by dividing lines extending across the inlets which join the Gulf of Mexico with Clearwater Harbor. The photosignature for 5700 is similar to 5400, except that it is usually more blue than green because of the increased water depth and clarity. 5700 can be found along the western edge of the barrier islands and outside all passes.

Enumerated_Domain:
Enumerated_Domain_Value: 6510
Enumerated_Domain_Value_Definition:
Tidal flats; Non-vegetated areas of sand or mud which are exposed at least once during the year or are capable of supporting seagrass populations for that segment of the bay (i.e. approximately six feet depth). This category is composed of that portion of the shore environment protected from wave action, as in the case of estuaries, comprised mostly of muds transported by tidal channels. An important characteristic of the tidal flat environment is its alternating tidal cycle of submergence and exposure to the atmosphere. The photosignature for 6510 is very smooth and obviously non-vegetated. The signature can be different colors depending on water dept and turbidity levels. It can appear white (very shallow, sandy areas), light green (deeper, sandy areas), gray (murky water) or even light brown in some tannin-stained areas. 6510 is usually found on the shallower edges of seagrass beds, either along the shoreline or on the crest of a barrier-type seagrass bed.

Enumerated_Domain:
Enumerated_Domain_Value: 9113
Enumerated_Domain_Value_Definition:
Patchy seagrass; This category appears as singular, isolated patches of seagrass or extensive areas of patch strands mixed with open bottom. Typically these areas appear as round clumps, or as elongated strands mixed with sand. The photosignature for 9113 usually has a rough texture when viewed through a stereoscope, and is bluish-gray to almost black depending on water depth and turbidity. 9113 can be found on the deeper and shallower edges of continuous seagrass beds or can be large and expansive and cover the entire bed.
Enumerated_Domain_Value_Definition_Source: Producer defined
Enumerated_Domain:
Enumerated_Domain_Value: 9116
Enumerated_Domain_Value_Definition:
Continuous seagrass; These areas exhibit a continuous and uniform signature. Small, (less than one-quarter acre) sandy bottom features may be interspersed within the bed, but these areas are not dominant. Areas that appear as continuous beds of seagrass communities, regardless of species composition, will be mapped. The photosignature for 9116 is more smooth than that of 9113 but still has some texture. It also can be bluish-gray to almost black, but has only a few areas of open bottom showing through to interrupt the continuous signature. 9116 usually can be found in the center of large, healthy seagrass beds and sometimes runs parallel to the shoreline for hundreds of meters.
