Abstract:
Provides a benthic habitat classification manual, a benthic habitat map for the nearshore waters of the main Hawaiian Islands, and supplemental geospatial data. Twenty-seven distinct benthic habitat types within eleven zones were mapped directly into a geographic information system (GIS) using visual interpretation of orthorectified aerial photographs and hyperspectral imagery. Benthic features were mapped that covered an area of 790 kms. In all, 204 kms of unconsolidated sediment, 171 kms of submerged vegetation, and 415 kms of coral reef and colonized hardbottom were mapped.
