These data were automated to provide an accurate high-resolution historical shoreline of St. Thomas and St. John, Virgin Islands suitable as a geographic information system (GIS) data layer. These data are derived from shoreline maps that were produced by the NOAA National Ocean Service including its predecessor agencies which were based on an office interpretation of imagery and/or field survey. The NGS attribution scheme 'Coastal Cartographic Object Attribute Source Table (C-COAST)' was developed to conform the attribution of various sources of shoreline data into one attribution catalog. C-COAST is not a recognized standard, but was influenced by the International Hydrographic Organization's S-57 Object-Attribute standard so the data would be more accurately translated into S-57.

This project is a cooperative effort among the National Ocean Service, National Centers for Coastal Ocean Science, Center for Coastal Monitoring and Assessment; the United States Geological Survey; the National Park Service; and the National Geophysical Data Center, to produce benthic habitat maps and georeferenced imagery for Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands. This project was conducted in support of the U.S. Coral Reef Task Force.Twenty-one distinct benthic habitat types within eight zones were mapped directly into a GIS system using visual interpretation of orthorectified aerial photographs. Benthic features were mapped that covered an area of 1600 km^2. In all, 49 km^2 of unconsolidated sediment, 721 km^2 of submerged vegetation, 73 km^2 of mangroves, and 756 km^2 of coral reef and colonized hardbottom were mapped.

This feature class was created by aggregating the seagrass classed polygons from available benthic habitat maps and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's (NOAA) Coastal Change Analysis Program and dissolving them into a single map of seagrass presence in St. Thomas and St. John.

This web map represents a collection of data layers related to watershed, hydrograpaphic and hydrological features of the island of St. Thomas, US Virgin Islands.

The presence and absence of the four substrate and four biological cover types were documented at 1,353 locations on the insular shelf south of St. Thomas and St. John. At each _location, an underwater camera system was used to collect high definition (HD) video at 30 frames per second at 1080x1920 resolution. This GIS dataset depicts the _location of these underwater videos, as well as the name, _location, time collected, and the presence and absence of the substrate and cover types. A portion of these underwater videos (n=1,005) were used to develop the habitat predictions and the composite habitat map. A separate subset of these underwater videos (n=348) were used to assess the performance of the habitat predictions and accuracy of the composite habitat map.

This feature class is the output of a presence-only predictive model used to predict how likely each 20 x 20 m grid cell is to contain hard bottom based on observed hard bottom data and environmental covariates such as bathymetry (and it's derivatives slope, slope of slope, and curvature). The model was run using MaxEnt and a binary threshold was instituted to call cells as having hard bottom or not based on a likelihood output from the model.

The Landscape Development Intensity Index (LDI) was calculated by assigning a weighted value to each land use type in the NOAA C-CAP land cover data (2012) to represent relative cumulative impact to runoff. Highest coefficients are assigned to impervious surfaces (e.g. paved roads) and lowest coefficients to the least developed patches of vegetation (most able to reduce runoff). The area of each land use type were then summed for sub-watersheds to calculate a relative impact for each individual sub-watershed.

This raster dataset represents the model output of a boosted regression tree model predicting the mean fish biomass in each 20 x 20 m grid cell. The model used point data obtained from National Coral Reef Monitoring Program field efforts and environmental covariates such as bathymetry and terrain complexity.

Area=15.35 sq. km.Source of Base Data for Unit Boundaries: The shoreline was created using the existing Acropora critical habitat designation (from NOAA NCCOS Benthic Habitat Mapping 2000-2002 - land and mangrove attribute combined for shoreline). For PR and USVI units, shoreline data using The NCCOS Benthic Habitat Mapping program provides baseline data and maps at https://coastalscience.noaa.gov/project/benthic-habitat-mapping-puerto-rico-virgin-islands/. For the Continental US, this shoreline is consistent with the US Medium Resolution Shoreline. Contours were derived from the National Geophysical Data Center’s 2004 U.S. Coastal Relief Model https://www.ngdc.noaa.gov/mgg/coastal/crm.html. The NCCOS Benthic Habitat Mapping program provides data and maps at http://products.coastalscience.noaa.gov/collections/benthic/default.aspx, which was used to pull in substrate data. For the Florida Units, benthic substrate and bathymetry data were pulled from the FWC Florida Unified Reef Tract at https://myfwc.com/research/gis/fisheries/unified-reef-map/. Benthic data was also used from The Nature Conservancy and can be downloaded here: https://sites.google.com/view/caribbean-marine-maps. For Spawning Site Unit 3 - Riley's Hump, bathymetry contours (i.e. isobaths) were pulled from the NCEI's CUDEM, or Continuously Updated Digital Elevation Models. (https://noaa.maps.arcgis.com/home/item.html?id=bf72d32c6a00407bb67a285845a7fa32) The CUDEM Raster was downloaded (Global Mosaic Elevation Values) and clipped to the site in ArcPro. The Contour Tool was set to 5m intervals. The CUDEM is built in 10m increments, as noted using the 1/3 arcseconds. Did not use the 1/9 arc second model, which corresponds to 3 meter increments. The CUDEM uses LiDAR data and is an orthometric vertical datum, and compiles data from NGDC, NOS, USGS, NMFS, etc. For more information, please vist: https://www.ncei.noaa.gov/products/coastal-relief-model.

This feature class represents fish species richness point data obtained from visual underwater surveys conducted by the National Coral Reef Monitoring Program (NCRMP) between 2001 and 2017. From 2001 to 2015, the method for counting fish species richness was a single diver observing a 25m x 4m belt transect. After 2015, the method for observation was a stationary point count with a radius of 7.5m. Two divers are used and results are averaged.
