These data were collected under a cooperative mapping program between the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS), the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration Office for Coastal Management (NOAA\OCM), and the Apalachicola National Estuarine Research Reserve (NERR). The primary objectives of this program were to collect marine geophysical data to develop a suite of seafloor maps to better define the extent of oyster habitats, the overall seafloor geology of the bay and provide updated information for management of this resource. In addition to their value for management of the bay's oyster resources, the maps also provide a geologic framework for scientific research and the public.
High-resolution bathymetry, backscatter intensity, and seismic profile data were collected over 230 square kilometers of the floor of the bay. The study focused on the Apalachicola Bay and Western St. George Sound portions of the estuary mostly in depths > 2.0 meters.

These data are high-resolution acoustic backscatter measurements over part of Porter's Bar in St. George Sound, Florida. These data were collected using the Autonomous Surface Vessel (ASV) IRIS primarily over known oyster bars in waters less than 1-2 meters deep.

Accuracy
Not relevant to this data set.
Horizontal Positional Accuracy
The ASV used RTK-GPS for navigation. RTK-GPS is assumed to be accurate within 1-2 meters. All GPS/DGPS data are referenced to WGS84. The sidescan-sonar transducers are mounted on a metal frame between the two pontoons about 0.5m below water surface, and directly below the GPS antenna..
Completeness Report
Although both the 100 kHz and 400 kHz frequency data were collected, only the high-frequency 400 kHz data were processed and included in this mosaic. Small differences in contrast stretch (DN values) exist because of variations in sea and weather conditions on each survey day.
Conceptual Consistency
Not applicable for raster data.
The sidescan-sonar data were acquired with a EdgeTech 4200 FS dual-frequency sidescan-sonar system. The EdgeTech 4200 operates in a frequency range of 100 and 400 kHz. Data were collected and logged to onboard in .jsf format using EdgeTech JStar acquisition software. All jsf files for each Julian day were imported to Xsonar and converted to Xsonar format using the 400 kHz channel. Each file was corrected for slant range and beam pattern corrections as described in Danforth (1997). The individual line files were mosaiced in Xsonar with a range cutoff of 25m. The composite mosaic was exported as a GeoTIFF image, with an associated world file.
