Molokai Benthic Habitat Mapping
Entry ID: USGS_OFR_2005_1070

[ Update this Record ]

Summary
Abstract: The detailed high-resolution map layer provided here documents habitat
characterization of a critical coral reef in Hawai'i. Integration of the aerial
imagery, SHOALS bathymetry, and field observations made it possible to create
detailed thematic maps reaching depths of 35 m (120 ft). This depth range
encompasses the base of the Moloka'i forereef, and is deeper than can be mapped
with standard optical remote sensing instruments. These maps can be used as
stand-alone or in a GIS to provide useful information to scientists, managers
and the general public.
