Data for benthic habitat changes in the Joulters cays and the North Abacos region, the Bahamas

The aim of this work is to understand how benthic habitat changes in the shallow water of the Bahamas in the last 80 years. Therefore, we compared the modern statellite images with historic images. This dataset contains: Data S1: original individual vintage image. Data S2: assembled vintage image. Data S3: ArcGIS file that interpret vintage/modern images. Data S4: Interpreted habitat maps (shapefile). Data S5: Spreadsheet containing area and perimeter statistics for individual patches. Data S6: Spreadsheet containing tracking results. Data S7: Input and output of STACKER model. Readme: descriptions of these dataset in more details. The code assoicated with Data S6, S7 is stored in: https://github.com/MindTheGap-ERC/TrackingHabitat.git.
