The Ocean Archive System searches our original datasets as they were submitted to us, not individual points or profiles. If you want to search and retrieve ocean profiles in a common format, or objectively analyzed fields, your better option may be to use one of our project applications. See: Access Data

| Title: | Geographic Information System (GIS) characterization of benthic and emergent areas in the Intracoastal Waterway, Sarasota County, Florida in 1987 (NODC Accession 0000607) |
| Abstract: | This GIS layer graphically represents algae, seagrass, tidal marshes, mangroves, and oyster bed coverages found throughout the Intracoastal Waterway in Sarasota County. The layer contains three densities for seagrass (sparse, medium, and dense). |

| Supplementary information: | These text files are written in the ArcInfo Coverage Export (.e00) format, and may be imported by most Geographic Information System software. This is an edited historical coverage. Photo interpretation and compilation onto 1:24,000 scale USGS Mylar quad sheets was performed by Lewis Environmental. These Mylar's were subsequently digitized into rectified Landsat TM images (UTM, NAD27 resample to 15 meters) by FMRI. All digitizing was done using ELAS (Earth Resources Laboratory Application Software), a software developed by NASA. The ELAS file was imported into ERDAS 7.5 and later converted into a vector coverage using Arc/Info 8.0. "SAR_BEN" was edited from the original "Sarasota 87" coverage. Several records under the "Habitat" field were deleted (bay water, upland water, water). |
