Resource Abstract:
- description: 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. Initiated in 2003, the
primary objective of this program is to develop regional geologic framework information for the management of coastal and
marine resources. Accurate data and maps of sea-floor geology are important first steps toward protecting fish habitat, delineating
marine reserves, and assessing environmental changes due to natural or human impacts. The project is focused on the inshore
waters (5-30m deep) of Massachusetts between the New Hampshire border and Cape Cod Bay. Data collected for the mapping cooperative
have been released in a series of USGS Open-File Reports (http://woodshole.er.usgs.gov/project-pages/coastal_mass/html/current_map.html).
This spatial dataset is from the Cape Ann and Salisbury Beach Massachusetts project area. They were collected in two separate
surveys in 2004 and 2005 and cover approximately 325 square kilometers of the inner continental shelf. High resolution bathymetry
and backscatter intensity were collected in 2004 and 2005.; abstract: These data were collected under a cooperative agreement
