Bathymetry, originally collected by NOAA for charting purposes, provides a fundamental framework for research and management activities along this part of Rhode Island Sound, shows the composition and terrain of the seabed, and provides information on sediment transport and benthic habitat. Interpretations were derived from the multibeam echo-sounder data collected in Rhode Island Sound. During July 2010, bottom photographs and surficial sediment data were acquired as part of a ground-truth reconnaissance survey of these areas. For more information on the ground-truth survey see . Purpose: The purpose of this dataset is to release the locations and identifiers of 116 bottom photographs collected at 25 stations on topographic data of the seafloor in Rhode Island Sound. The photos were collected with a modified Van Veen grab sampler modified to carry still and video camera systems (small SEABOSS) during USGS survey 2010-033, conducted July 21-23, 2010.

Completeness_Report: Locations of all still photographs of the sea floor in the Rhode Island Sound H11996 study area collected during the R/V RAFAEL cruise 2010-033 were included in this data set. Positional_Accuracy: Horizontal_Positional_Accuracy: Horizontal_Positional_Accuracy_Report: Navigation was by differential GPS. Although GPS gave the ship's position rather than that of the SEABOSS, water depths were generally shallow and scope of the cable minimal. Therefore, SEABOSS offset from the antenna was less than 5 m.

The naming convention for photographs is a 3-number location identification (996, referring to NOAA survey H11996), an underscore, the station number, and a letter of the photograph at that station (multiple photos are often taken at a single location), and the resolution of the photograph (fr for full resolution, mr for medium resolution, and tn for thumbnail). For instance, 996_4amr.jpg is a photograph from H11996, station 4, photo a, medium resolution and is in JPEG format. Medium resolution photographs can be hyperlinked in this shapefile. In order to effectively utilize this attribute in ArcGIS, the user must follow a couple of steps. First, the user must open the Layer Properties of the bottom photograph shapefile within ArcMap - select the Display tab - and click on the check box next to "Support Hyperlinks using field:" and the field selected from the dropdown menu needs to be "PHOTO_MR". The hyperlink is set to a document. Additionally, a hyperlink base must be supplied in the ArcMap document (mxd) to complete the full path to the images. This is accomplished from File - Document Properties. On the Summary tab there is a section for "Hyperlink base". The text supplied here needs to be the disk information preceding "data" in the full path to the image. If the data are being read from a DVD, this would be the drive letter such as F:\.
