Abstract:
This seafloor habitat mapping project is a cooperative effort between the National Ocean Service, National Centers for Coastal Ocean Science, Center for Coastal Monitoring and Assessment, the Florida Keys National Marine Sanctuary, and Photo Science, Inc. as the prime contractor and Analytical Laboratories of Hawaii, Inc. as the sub-contractor. The purpose is to produce a benthic habitat map of portions of the Florida Keys. These mapping products are generated by visual interpretation and on-screen computerized delineation of features visible in georeferenced IKONOS color satellite imagery and color aerial photography. To learn more about the project, please visit: <http://ccma.nos.noaa.gov/ecosystems/coralreef/fl_mapping/>. A non-hierarchial benthic habitat classification scheme was used to characterize and classify the seafloor features visible in the satellite imagery and aerial photography. The scheme integrates geomorphologic reef structure and biological cover into a single scheme. The scheme also includes thirteen geomorphologic zones. To learn more about the classification scheme, please visit: <http://ccma.nos.noaa.gov/ecosystems/coralreef/benthic/>.
Purpose:
The National Ocean Service is digitally mapping biotic resources and coordinating a long-term monitoring program to evaluate the condition and detect change in U.S. coral reefs and their associated habitats and biological communities.

Attribute_Accuracy_Report:
An assessment of thematic (habitat feature) accuracy of this map is underway and will be completed by 2013.
Logical_Consistency_Report:
All mapping was conducted from georeferenced IKONOS color satellite imagery provided by NOAA or orthorectified color aerial photography provided by Photo Science prior to map production. The IKONOS satellite imagery also was corrected for atmospheric and water column effects, color balanced, pan sharpened and, if needed, deglinted. During the digitizing process, image stretches and manipulation of image contrast, brightness and color balance was performed in the ArcView Image Analysis Extension to enhance features visible in the imagery. GIS topologic quality was established by executing ArcView extension routines that check for: overlapping polygons, multipart polygons, sliver polygons, void polygons and feature attribute check. Checks for adjacent polygons with the same habitat attributes also were completed. All errors were corrected. This file is believed to be logically consistent.
Completeness_Report:
NOAA supplied georeferenced with a horizontal positioning accuracy of <5m imagery to Analytical Laboratories of Hawaii and Photo Science. Delineation of all habitat boundaries was conducted with the zoom image scale at 1:6,000 or less. The minimum mapping unit (MMU) for identifying and delineating habitats or features was 4047 sq m for most features. For individual patch reefs, the MMU was 625 sq m. For land features, the MMU was 1000 sq m. The different MMU vaules wereused to allow habitat featuers of particular interest (e.g., individual patch reefs) to be captured.

Process_Step:
Process_Description:
Benthic habitat maps were digitized by delineating habitat boundaries from georeferenced orthorectified IKONOS satellite imagery or aerial photography loaded into ArcGIS software with the Image Analysis and NOAA Coral Reef Habitat Digitizing extensions activated. Digitizing was conducted using heads-up on computer screen methods with the image scale at 1:6,000 or less. The IKONOS imagery was processed by NOAA prior to map production. The satellite imagery was corrected for atmospheric and water column effects, pan sharpened and deglinted. The color aerial photography was orthorectified. During the digitizing process, images were stretched and contrast, brightness and color balance was modified using the Image Analysis Extension to enhance features in the processed imagery. The overall map production plan includes a first draft map completed with features in the imagery where uncertainties existed due to confusing or difficult to interpret spectral and spatial signatures in the imagery. The confusing habitat features were identified for future ground validation effort. A GIS point theme was generated with points positioned on the features of uncertain habitat type or along transects though gradients between habitat types. The GIS points are converted to GPS waypoints using Trimble Pathfinder Software and are navigated to in the field using a Trimble GeoExplorer 3 GPS data logger. A benthic habitat ground validation characterization was conducted at each site using either a tethered video camera, snorkeling, free diving, or where water depth and clarity permitted, by observation from the surface using a look box. GPS data were collected at each location and site ID, depth, habitat type, zone and the method used to make the assessment was recorded. A second draft of the map was generated incorporating these ground validation data. The map produced using the gropundvalidation information as input was designated the fist draft habitat map. The first draft habitat map was tested to ensure its' topologic correctness and adherence to NOAA standards.
