This project was was conducted in support of the U.S. Coral Reef Task Force. Purpose: This project was conducted in support of the U.S. Coral Reef Task Force. http://coralreef.gov Time_Period_of_Content: Time_Period_Information: Range_of_Dates/Times: Beginning_Date: 1999 Ending_Date: 1999 Currentness_Reference: Ground condition at date photos were taken (1999) Status: Progress: Complete Maintenance_and_Update_Frequency: None planned Spatial_Domain: Bounding_Coordinates: West_Bounding_Coordinate: -66.95 East_Bounding_Coordinate: -66.70 North_Bounding_Coordinate: 18.02 South_Bounding_Coordinate: 17.88 Keywords: Theme: Theme_Keyword_Thesaurus: NCEI Geoportal Filter Theme_Keyword: CoRIS_Metadata Theme: Theme_Keyword_Thesaurus: CRCP Project Theme_Keyword: Caribbean Benthic Habitat Mapping Theme_Keyword: 1027 Theme: Theme_Keyword_Thesaurus: CoRIS Theme Thesaurus Theme_Keyword: EARTH SCIENCE > Biosphere > Zoology > Corals > Reef Monitoring and Assessment > Remote Sensing Theme_Keyword: EARTH SCIENCE > Biosphere > Zoology > Corals > Reef Monitoring and Assessment > Mapping > Base map > Aerial Photography Theme: Theme_Keyword_Thesaurus: CoRIS Discovery Thesaurus Theme_Keyword: Map Images > Aerial Photographs Theme: Theme_Keyword_Thesaurus: none Theme_Keyword: coral Theme_Keyword: seagrass Theme_Keyword: SAV Theme_Keyword: reef Theme_Keyword: aerial photography Theme_Keyword: benthic Theme_Keyword: habitat Theme_Keyword: mangrove Theme_Keyword: oceans Theme_Keyword: coral reef conservation Theme_Keyword: coastal ecosystem science Theme: Theme_Keyword_Thesaurus: ISO 19115 Topic Category Theme_Keyword: imageryBaseMapsEarthCover Theme_Keyword: 010 Place: Place_Keyword_Thesaurus: CoRIS Place Thesaurus Place_Keyword: OCEAN BASIN > Atlantic Ocean > Caribbean Sea /North Atlantic Ocean > Puerto Rico > Puerto Rico (18N066W0000) Place_Keyword: COUNTRY/TERRITORY > United States of America > Puerto Rico > Puerto Rico (18N066W0000) Place: Place_Keyword_Thesaurus: None Place_Keyword: Guayanil Place: Place_Keyword_Thesaurus: CoRIS Region Place_Keyword: PR Access_Constraints: none Use_Constraints: none Point_of_Contact: Contact_Information: Contact_Person_Primary: Contact_Person: Matthew S.

Scanned photos were loaded into Socet Set with kinematic GPS data, camera calibration factors, DTM data, and other corrective measures to eliminate spatial distortion. Once a satisfactory spatial model had been produced (RMS less than 1) the optimal sections of each photo were selected to minimize sun glint, turbidity, etc. and maximize area of interpretable bottom features.
