Resource Abstract:
- description: The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS), in cooperation with the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA)
and the Massachusetts Office of Coastal Zone Management (MA CZM), is producing detailed geologic maps of the coastal sea floor.
Imagery, originally collected by NOAA for charting purposes, provides a fundamental framework for research and management
activities along this part of the Massachusetts coastline, shows the composition and terrain of the seabed, and provides information
on sediment transport and benthic habitat. Interpretive data layers were derived from the combined single-beam and multibeam
echo-sounder data and sidescan-sonar data collected in the vicinity of Edgartown Harbor, Massachusetts. During August 2008
seismic-reflection profiles (Boomer and Chirp) were acquired, and during September 2008 bottom photographs and surficial sediment
data were acquired as part of two ground-truth reconnaissance surveys.; abstract: The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS), in cooperation
