SCR_Aerial_PointVicente_12072011_KelpClass

These raster and vector datasets were developed for the Sea Grant South Coast MPA Baseline Program as part of the project “Nearshore Substrate Mapping and Change Analysis using Historical and Concurrent Multispectral Imagery” (#R/MPA 30 10-049). The study region is the South Coast Region (SCR). Ocean Imaging acquired this imagery on 12/07/2011 using the Digital Multispectral Camera (DMSC). Details on this system and the data processing are below in the Lineage section of this document. Details on this system and the data processing are below in the Lineage section of this document. Individual DMSC image tiles were mosaicked into sections based on the islands covered and local coastal regions as well as the SCR MPA zones in order to generate this multispectral image product. These imagery were subsequently used to generate habitat classification thematic maps of the SCR's kelp beds from Point Conception to Imperial Beach, CA. The imagery files deliverd are in GeoTIFF format. This raster dataset contains a habitat classification of either offshore giant kelp beds along the California South Coast Region (SCR) from from Point Conception, CA down to Imperial beach, CA. This specific raster classification includes the Point Vicente SMCA and Abalone Cove SMCA.本栅格与矢量数据集为海洋赠款计划（Sea Grant）南海岸海洋保护区（Marine Protected Area，MPA）基线项目的成果，作为项目"利用历史与同期多光谱影像开展近岸底质制图与变化分析"（编号#R/MPA 30 10-049）的一部分。本研究区域为南海岸区域（South Coast Region，SCR）。Ocean Imaging公司于2011年12月7日采用数字多光谱相机（Digital Multispectral Camera，DMSC）采集了本次影像。该相机系统与数据处理的详细说明详见本文档的溯源（Lineage）章节。研究人员根据影像覆盖的岛屿、当地沿海区域以及SCR海洋保护区（MPA）分区，将单幅DMSC影像瓦片进行镶嵌拼接，以生成该多光谱影像产品。随后利用该影像生成了覆盖加利福尼亚州康塞普西翁角至帝国海滩的SCR海带床生境分类专题图。所交付的影像文件采用GeoTIFF格式。本栅格数据集包含加利福尼亚州南海岸区域（SCR）从康塞普西翁角至帝国海滩的近岸巨藻床生境分类数据。本次栅格分类数据涵盖文森特角海洋保护保育区（State Marine Conservation Area，SMCA）与鲍鱼湾海洋保护保育区（SMCA）。
