Title: Puget Sound Intertidal Habitat Inventory 1995: intertidal vegetation and shoreline characteristics inventory and other data in the Bellingham region of Puget Sound from 1995-06-21 to 1995-09-21 (NCEI Accession 9800018)
Abstract: A survey of 110 miles of the Puget Sound shoreline was conducted from 21 June 1995 to 21 September 1995. The survey was conducted by the Washington State Department of Natural Resources and describes two components of intertidal habitat: vegetation types and shoreline characteristics. The result of survey were compiled as a CDROM titled "Puget Sound Intertidal Habitat Inventory 1995." Data include an intertidal vegetation inventory, intertidal shoreline characteristics inventory, grayscale raster image of study area, study area location, and metadata.

Supplementary information: Note: Metadata for this accession were extracted from a legacy database maintained by the U.S. National Oceanographic Data Center (NODC). The design of the database did not exactly reflect the FGDC Content Standard for Digital Geospatial Metadata (CSDGM).

Principal Investigator (PI) and organization contact information accurately represents all available information from the legacy database at the time that this description was created. However, proper attribution of a PI to a specific institution or the role (submitting or collecting) taken by an institution may not be correct due to inexact mapping between fields in the legacy database and the CSDGM. Due to this uncertainty, the contact information was initially recorded in the Supplemental Information element of the CSDGM description.

To develop more accurate metadata, NCEI reviews metadata for all accessions on an ongoing basis.
