Photos and/or video were collected between 03/06/2013 to 03/29/2013 along 56 transects south of Vieques and in and around the Grand Reserve northeast of Puerto Rico. These photos and videos will be manually classified into different habitat classes, and integrated with the abiotic data collected by the acoustic sonar (sound navigation and ranging) systems to develop a benthic habitat map for the U.S. Caribbean. Habitat maps describe the location of habitat features (in relation to the shoreline), their physical composition and the types of organisms that colonize them. Fundamentally, habitat maps provide critical information about the extent, health and composition of marine resources, which is vital for communicating information about the distribution and abundance of species to resource managers, scientists and the public. Habitat maps also support an increasing number of landscape ecology studies, as well as the process of marine spatial planning, including the design and evaluation of marine protected areas (MPAs).\r\n \r\n \r\n The objective of this ground validation (GV) effort, conducted by NOAA's Center for Coastal Monitoring and Assessment Biogeography Branch, in collaboration with multiple federal, state, territory, academic and private sector partners, was to acquire spatially-explicit information about the geomorphological structure, biological cover and live coral cover of the seafloor in the U.S. Caribbean. Extensive field work is needed to create high-quality benthic habitat maps because it enhances the accuracy of habitat attribution and (to a lesser degree) habitat delineation. Consequently, ground validation locations were targeted by the cartographer to satisfy the following objectives: (1) Explore features in the imagery with unknown or confusing acoustic signatures; (2) Confirm that the habitat type correlated with a particular acoustic signature remained consistent throughout the entire study area. This information will be incorporated into a fine-scale assessment of the status, abundance, and distribution of marine habitats in the U.S. Caribbean.\r\n \r\n \r\n Department of Commerce (DOC), 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\r\n \r\n \r\n completed\r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n notPlanned\r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n CoRIS_Metadata\r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n NCEI Geoportal Filter\r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n COUNTRY/TERRITORY > United States of America > Puerto Rico > Puerto Rico (18N066W0000)\r\n \r\n \r\n OCEAN BASIN > Atlantic Ocean > Caribbean Sea /North Atlantic Ocean > Puerto Rico > Puerto Rico (18N066W0000)\r\n \r\n \r\n OCEAN BASIN > Atlantic Ocean > Caribbean Sea /North Atlantic Ocean > Puerto Rico > Fajardo (18N065W0004)\r\n \r\n \r\n COUNTRY/TERRITORY > United States of America > Puerto Rico > Fajardo (18N065W0004)\r\n \r\n \r\n place\r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n CoRIS Place Thesaurus\r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n Geographic Information > Marine Management Areas\r\n \r\n \r\n Geographic Information > Ecological Characterization\r\n \r\n \r\n Geographic Information > Habitats\r\n \r\n \r\n Geographic Information > Reef Locations\r\n \r\n \r\n Numeric Data Sets > Habitats\r\n \r\n \r\n Visual Images > Corals\r\n \r\n \r\n Visual Images > Habitats\r\n \r\n \r\n Transect Monitoring > Video Transect\r\n \r\n \r\n EARTH SCIENCE > Biosphere > Marine Habitat > Benthic Habitat\r\n \r\n \r\n theme\r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n None\r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n EARTH SCIENCE > Biosphere > Zoology > Corals > Reef Monitoring and Assessment > Mapping > Habitat Mapping\r\n \r\n \r\n EARTH SCIENCE > Biosphere > Zoology > Corals > Reef Monitoring and Assessment > Mapping\r\n \r\n \r\n EARTH SCIENCE > Biosphere > Zoology > Corals > Reef Monitoring and Assessment > Benthos Analysis\r\n \r\n \r\n EARTH SCIENCE > Biosphere > Zoology > Corals > Reef Monitoring and Assessment > Baseline studies\r\n \r\n \r\n EARTH SCIENCE > Oceans > Coastal Processes > Coral Reefs > Coral Reef Ecology > OctoCoral Cover\r\n \r\n \r\n EARTH SCIENCE > Oceans > Coastal Processes > Coral Reefs > Coral Reef Ecology > Hard Coral Cover\r\n \r\n \r\n EARTH SCIENCE > Oceans > Coastal Processes > Coral Reefs > Coral Reef Ecology\r\n \r\n \r\n EARTH SCIENCE > Oceans > Coastal Processes > Coral Reefs\r\n \r\n \r\n EARTH SCIENCE > Biosphere > Zoology > Corals > Reef Monitoring and Assessment > Mapping > geomorphology Mapping\r\n \r\n \r\n EARTH SCIENCE > Biosphere > Zoology > Corals > Reef Monitoring and Assessment\r\n \r\n \r\n EARTH SCIENCE > Biosphere > Zoology > Corals > Reef Monitoring and Assessment > Photographic Analysis\r\n \r\n \r\n theme\r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n CoRIS Theme Thesaurus\r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n Geographic Information > Habitats\r\n \r\n \r\n theme\r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n CoRIS Discovery Thesaurus\r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n NOT TO BE USED FOR NAVIGATION.These data were prepared by an agency of the United States Government.
