The goal of the work was to incorporate previously developed mapping methods to produce coral reef habitat maps for American Samoa, Guam and the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands. GPS field observations were used to establish the thematic accuracy of this thematic product. 1113 benthic habitat characterizations were completed for this work. The National Ocean Service is preparing digital map products of these biotic resources and coordinates a long-term monitoring program that can detect and predict change in U.S. coral reefs, and their associated habitats and biological communities. The goal of the work was to implement previously developed coral reef mapping methods to produce GIS map products of benthic habitats by photo interpreting georeferenced remotely sensed imagery. These Accuracy Assessment point data were generated to assess the accuracy of the individual maps created from IKONOS satellite imagery. completed 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 Biogeography Branch Mapping Manager 301-713-3028 301-713=4384 1305 East West Highway Silver Spring MD 20910 tim.battista@noaa.gov 0800 - 1700, Monday to Friday, EST pointOfContact notPlanned CoRIS_Metadata theme NCEI Geoportal Filter Mapping the shallow-water coral reef ecosystems of American Samoa, Guam, and the Northern Marianas 1209 project CRCP Project Geographic Information > Ecological Characterization theme CoRIS Discovery Thesaurus EARTH SCIENCE > Oceans > Coastal Processes > Coral Reefs EARTH SCIENCE > Oceans > Coastal Processes > Coral Reefs > Coral reef ecology > Habitats EARTH SCIENCE > Biosphere > Aquatic Habitat > Reef Habitat EARTH SCIENCE > Biosphere > Aquatic Habitat > Reef Habitat > Description EARTH SCIENCE > Biosphere > Zoology > Corals > Reef monitoring and assessment EARTH SCIENCE > Biosphere > Zoology > Corals > Reef monitoring and assessment > In situ biological theme CoRIS Theme Thesaurus coral reef coralline algae habitat reef Submerged aquatic vegetation unconsolidated sediments Point zone oceans Structure Cover environmental monitoring theme None United States Mariana Islands Guam Saipan CNMI place None COUNTRY/TERRITORY > Northern Mariana Islands > Northern Mariana Islands > Northern Mariana Islands ( CNMI ) (18N146E0000) OCEAN BASIN > Pacific Ocean > Western Pacific Ocean > Mariana Archipelago > Northern Mariana Islands ( CNMI ) (18N146E0000) OCEAN BASIN > Pacific Ocean > Western Pacific Ocean > Guam > Guam (13N144E0000) COUNTRY/TERRITORY > United States of America > Guam > Guam (13N144E0000) place CoRIS Place Thesaurus The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) National Centers for Coastal Ocean Science (NCCOS) produced this data CD-ROM.

Point GPS data were acquired by repeated occupation of a fixed feature. The results yielded a 95% sigma RMS of 2 meters compared to the position mean. Replicate GPS positions were collected after navigating to a way point by boat yielding RMS value of 5 meters. Registered monuments were occupied and replicate positions collected yielding an RMS value of 3 meters. Thus, all point features in these accuracy assessment data are at least 95% sigma of 5 meters. Data are complete. Habitat attributes are determined by direct observation in the field. These data are considered truth at the time of collection. Habitat types are subject to change over time due to population dynamics of the dominant biological communities. To maintain objectivity in the analysis of accuracy, all field observations were withheld from the photo interpreter. Furthermore, Coral Reef Assessment and Monitoring Program (CRAMP) of the Hawaii Institute of Marine Biology (HIMB) conducted the determination of the extent to which the photointerpretation met the field assessment determinations. These data were then used to prepare the statistical report of the accuracy of the maps. Transfer of the habitat assessment data is seamless from the field determination to the final GIS product. The data is not transcribed or rewritten by hand. Errors in processing are not expected. After photointerpretation was complete, 50 random geographically referenced points were created in each structure and cover detailed class. This was done using a random point generator program obtained from the ESRI website, which randomly generates points inside an ArcView GIS polygon. Waypoint files were generated from these points and all waypoints, which could be safely accessed, were navigated to using a Trimble GeoExplorer 3 GPS data logger and a benthic habitat characterization was conducted. 2003-01-01T00:00:00 Miles Anderson Analytical Laboratories of Hawaii, LLC Principal (808) 262-2417 (808) 262-7027 1320 Aalapapa Dr. Kailua Hawaii 96734 USA miles@interpac.net 0800 - 1700, Monday to Friday, HST processor Source Contribution: Random points were generated to test the accuracy of benthic habitat maps.Source Type: Software Random Point Generator 2001-06-15 publication v 1.1 Environmental Science Research Institute Redlands CA publisher Jeff Henness originator http://arcscripts.esri.com/details.asp?dbid=11605 2001-06-15 Source Contribution: This document identifies the zone and habitat types attributed in the GIS data.Source Type: publication Classification Scheme for Benthic Habitats of the Pacific 2003-01-01 publication NOAA's Ocean Service, National Centers for Coastal Ocean Science (NCCOS) Silver Spring MD publisher M.S.
