Layer: Accuracy Assessment Sites (0)

Name: Accuracy Assessment Sites

Display Field: class

Type: Feature Layer

Geometry Type: esriGeometryPoint

Description: Thematic accuracy of the U.S. Virgin Islands habitat maps was evaluated for the three most general habitat categories: unconsolidated sediment, submerged vegetation, and coral reef/hard bottom. Data recorded at each site included habitat type, depth, and other descriptive information. Depth was determined using a hand-held depth sounder. Habitat type(s) were recorded within an approximately 5-7 meter radius around each pre-selected site.

Layer: Ground Validation Sites (1)

Name: Ground Validation Sites

Display Field: SITE__

Type: Feature Layer

Geometry Type: esriGeometryPoint

Description: Following careful evaluation of the aerial photography, and in some cases creation of a "first draft" habitat map through the process outlined above, selected sites were visited in the field for typological validation. This validation included: (1) areas in the aerial photography and mosaic with confusing or difficult to interpret signatures, (2) transects across many representative habitat types occurring in different depths and water conditions, (3) a survey of the Zones, and (4) confirmation of preliminary habitat delineations if a first draft was produced. Individual sites were visually evaluated by snorkeling and free diving or directly from the boat in shallow, clear water. Habitat transitions were evaluated by swimming transects across habitat types to further guide placement of polygon boundaries. Habitat type(s), zone, approximate depth, position (GPS), image number, and other descriptive information were recorded at each site.

Name: Zone

Display Field: ZONE

Type: Feature Layer

Geometry Type: esriGeometryPolygon

Description: Nine mutually exclusive zones were identified from land to open water corresponding to typical insular shelf and coral reef geomorphology. These zones include: land, shoreline/intertidal, lagoon, back reef, reef crest, fore reef, bank/shelf, bank/shelf escarpment, and dredged (since this condition eliminates natural geomorphology). Zone refers only to each benthic community’s location and does not address substrate or cover types within.
