se_5mbath - Nahant to Gloucester, Swath Bathymetry of the South Essex Survey Area
Entry ID:
CZM_moris_se_5mbath_raster
Summary
Abstract:
These data are high-resolution bathymetric soundings of the seafloor offshore of Massachusetts, from Nahant to Gloucester. Approximately 127 km² of the inner shelf were mapped in the nearshore region between the 10m and 40-m isobath.
Purpose: These data were collected under a cooperative agreement with the Massachusetts Office of Coastal Zone Management (CZM) and the U.S. Geological Survey, Coastal and Marine Geology Program, Woods Hole Science Center. High resolution bathymetry, backscatter intensity, and seismic profile data were collected over 127 km² area covering a portion of the South Essex Ocean Sanctuary to characterize the ...
