The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS), in cooperation with the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), is producing detailed geologic maps of the coastal sea floor. Bathymetry and sidescan-sonar imagery, originally collected by NOAA for charting purposes, provides a fundamental framework for research and management activities in Long Island Sound, shows the composition and terrain of the seabed, and provides information on sediment transport and benthic habitat. During October 2008 NOAA completed hydrographic survey H11997 offshore in eastern Long Island Sound, and during May 2010 bottom photographs and surficial sediment data were acquired as part of a ground-truth reconnaissance survey of this area. Two interpretive data layers were derived from the multibeam echo-sounder and the ground-truth data used to verify them. For more information on the ground-truth survey see http://quashnet.er.usgs.gov/data/2010/10015/
The purpose of this dataset is to release the locations and identifiers of 75 photographs and frame grabs of video from the sea floor collected at 28 stations on bathymetry data from offshore in eastern Long Island Sound in geographic, WGS84.

All attributes were checked in a consistent manner
No additional checks for topological consistency were performed on this data.
Locations of all still photographs and frame grabs from video of the sea floor collected within the study area during the OSV Bold cruise 2010-015-FA were included in this data set. Total station numbers range from 997-1 to 997-28. Although 7 rolls of film were collected during the cruise, only a portion of the photographs were taken within this study area.
Navigation was by differential GPS. Although GPS gave the ship's position rather than that of the SEABOSS, the antenna was located less than 5 m from the block on the A-frame, water depths were generally shallow, and scope of the cable minimal. Therefore, SEABOSS offset from the antenna was less than 10 m.

ground condition
7 rolls of 35-mm film
GPS Navigation (degrees with decimal minutes to six places) and time updated every second were recorded and correlated with the times manually recorded in the SEABOSS log to register the still photographs. These locations were checked against the navigation on the videotape (degrees with decimal minutes to three places) and in cruise logs for verification; there was little offset. Frame grabs of the bottom video were used to produce images of the three stations where bottom photographs were not taken (i.e., 997-4, 997-7, and 997-21). Navigation for these frame-grab images came directly from the navigation recorded on the video. This information was manually input into an Excel 2003 (.xls) file and exported to create an ASCII file of this information. Shapefiles were created in ArcView 3.3 from the ASCII comma-delimited files by creating an Event Theme and then converting it to a shapefile.
