  Description:
    Abstract: The NOAA Coastal Services Center's Coastal Change Analysis Program, in cooperation with the St. Johns River and South Florida Water Management Districts, used the C-CAP protocol to map SAV and other benthic habitat in Indian River. The project incorporated underwater videography, field point observations, and transect data. Analytical photogrammetry was used to accomplish the mapping. The benthic data is classified according to the System for Classification of Habitats in Estuarine and Marine Environments (SCHEME).  This system is fully described in "Development of a System for Classification of Habitats in Estuarine and Marine Environments (SCHEME) for Florida, Report to U.S. EPA - Gulf of Mexico Program, Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission, Florida Marine Research Institute.Review Draft 12/04/02."
    Purpose: The data was produced to monitor changes in seagrass within the lagoon on a two-year basis. Seagrass beds are mapped by the Districts as an indicator of overall water quality.Expansion or retraction of SAV in the lagoon is used to evaluate the effectiveness of non-point pollution management strategies.

Data_Quality_Information:
  Attribute_Accuracy:
    Attribute_Accuracy_Report: Thematic accuracy was determined by comparison to 75 transect measurements and existing map data produced by the Districts. Field verification with GPS positional control was accomplished in 1998 -1998
  Logical_Consistency_Report: Following photo compilation, CLEAN and BUILD routines were accomplished in Imagine 8.3 image processing environment.Attribution of polygon data was accomplished primarily in an ArcView environment A careful review of the finished polygon coverage was done to ensure that all labels were complete and accurate.
  Completeness_Report: Data is complete. All interpretable SAV habitat was mapped.
  Positional_Accuracy:
    Horizontal_Positional_Accuracy:
      Horizontal_Positional_Accuracy_Report: Spatial data meets national map accuracy standards for fixed features. Deeper water edges of SAV habitat were more difficult to spatially verify in the field and may show slightly higher variation.
    Vertical_Positional_Accuracy:
      Vertical_Positional_Accuracy_Report: Not Applicable

      Process_Description: Interpretation/Compilation The ground control points and camera calibration data were used to generate stereo models in an SD3000 analytical stereoplotter. This allowed the analyst to interpret habitat and delineate SAV directly into a corrected digital reference system. The data were exported as a line coverage for further editing and attribution in an ESRI Arc and ArcView environment. The benthic data is classified according to the System for Classification of Habitats in Estuarine and Marine Environments (SCHEME).
