North Central Coast: Aerial surveys and classification of Inverness Kelp Forests, 2010

This kelp classification dataset was developed for the Sea Grant MPA Baseline Program as part of the project “High Resolution Nearshore Substrate Mapping and Persistence with Multispectral Aerial Imagery” (#R/MPA17 09-015). The study region is the California North Central Coast (NCC). The Adobe Acrobat (.PDF) browse style image is a reduced-resolution snapshot of the dataset. This particular file shows coverage is of the Inverness USGS orthoquad region. Ocean Imaging acquired the imagery used for this analysis using the Digital Multispectral Camera (DMSC). Fugro EarthData acquired the imagery used for this project between 09/22/2010 – 09/23/2010 and delivered fully georeferenced and orthorectified, 12-bit imagery with a spatial resolution of 0.30 meters to OI in 2011. Details on these systems and the data processing are below in the Lineage section of this document. Individual DMSC and ADS40 image tiles were mosaicked into sections based on the USGS orthoquads for the California North Central Coast in order to generate the image products required to generate this merged kelp habitat classification covering the California North Central Coast’s kelp beds from Pigeon Point up to Point Arena. Additional information on the classification procedures used are outlined in the Methods and Sampling section of this document. This dataset was originally uploaded to Oceanspaces (http://oceanspaces.org/) in 2013 as part of the North Central Coast baseline monitoring program. In 2022 this dataset was uploaded to the California Ocean Protection Council Data Repository by Mike Esgro ([e-mail]) and Rani Gaddam ([e-mail]). The imagery and habitat classification products have been included in the dataset as ERDAS Imagine (.img), GeoTif (.tif) and ESRI shapefile formats. Every attempt has been made to include all of the original data and metadata, submitted in 2013, but please contact the Data Set Contacts with any questions.
