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 in mostly in depths > 2.0 meters. Purpose: The purpose of this shapefile is to provide high resolution base map data for cartographic products published in U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) Open-File Report 2006-1381 Time_Period_of_Content: Time_Period_Information: Single_Date/Time: Calendar_Date: 2007 Currentness_Reference: publication date Status: Progress: Complete Maintenance_and_Update_Frequency: None planned Spatial_Domain: Bounding_Coordinates: West_Bounding_Coordinate: -85.385000 East_Bounding_Coordinate: -84.572274 North_Bounding_Coordinate: 29.867725 South_Bounding_Coordinate: 29.586522 Keywords: Theme: Theme_Keyword_Thesaurus: General Theme_Keyword: U.S. Geological Survey Theme_Keyword: USGS Theme_Keyword: Coastal and Marine Geology Program Theme_Keyword: CMGP Theme_Keyword: Woods Hole Science Center Theme_Keyword: WHSC Theme_Keyword: Seafloor Theme_Keyword: Marine Geology Theme_Keyword: Base map Theme_Keyword: Electronic Nautical Chart Theme_Keyword: ENC Theme: Theme_Keyword_Thesaurus: ISO 19115 Topic Category Theme_Keyword: oceans and estuaries Theme_Keyword: elevation Place: Place_Keyword_Thesaurus: General Place_Keyword: Apalachicola Place_Keyword: Florida Place_Keyword: Apalachicola National Estuarine Research Reserve Place_Keyword: St. George Sound Place_Keyword: Apalachicola Bay Place_Keyword: United States Place_Keyword: Gulf of Mexico Stratum: Stratum_Keyword_Thesaurus: General Stratum_Keyword: Land Access_Constraints: None Use_Constraints: Data are not intended for navigational use.
