NOAA Office for Coastal Management Benthic Habitat Data, Long Island Sound, Jamaica Bay, and Lower Bay of NY/NJ Harbor, NY, 1994-2002 (NCEI Accession 0089467)
These data are a collection of benthic habitat data from studies conducted in the coastal Long Island Sound, NY region in GIS shapefile (.shp, .dbf, .shx, and .prj files) with associated Federal Geographic Data Committee (FGDC) metadata. Generalized browse graphics were generated by the NODC and are included with the data.
Individual subdirectories include data as follows - 2002 Long Island South Shore Estuary Benthic Habitat Polygon Data Set, 1995 benthic grab, sediment grab, and sediment profile image GIS point data files from inland harbor bays (Jamaica Bay), and 1994-1995 benthic grab, sediment grab, and sediment profile image GIS point data files from lower inland harbor bays.

Supplemental Information | These data were formerly titled at the NCEI as NOAA Coastal Services Center Coastal Remote Sensing Program Benthic Habitat Data, Long Island Sound, Jamaica Bay, and Lower Bay of NY/NJ Harbor, NY, 1994-2002 (NODC Accession 0089467). The dataset title was changed in October 2015 to reflect correctness and currency. Browse graphics for these data produced by the NODC were designed to provide a rapid overview of the data and facilitate user searches. They do not contain all data attributes of the data sets. GIS software is suggested when viewing or working with these data for maximum usability and performing data analyses. A land mask is not provided for these data. Suggested shorelines are NOAA's Medium Resolution Shoreline downloadable at //coastalgeospatial.noaa.gov/data_gis.html and the GSHHS - A Global Self-consistent, Hierarchical, High-resolution Shoreline Database downloadable at http://www.ngdc.noaa.gov/mgg/shorelines/gshhs.html. For the 2002 benthic polygon data, the study area covers approximately 443 km2 from the west end of Long Beach Island in Nassau County to Heady Creek at the east end of Shinnecock Bay in Suffolk County. |
