  Description:

    Abstract:
      Point based visual observations of benthic habitat from a samples obtained with a video sled. 

    Purpose:
      These data are intended for science researchers, students, policy
      makers, and the general public.  The data can be
      used with geographic information systems (GIS) software
      to display geologic and oceanographic information.

      Although this Federal Geographic Data Committee-compliant metadata
      file is intended to document the data set in nonproprietary form,
      as well as in ArcInfo format, this metadata file may include some
