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 a 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: These data are high-resolution acoustic backscatter measurements of the bottom of Apalachicola Bay Florida. This raster covers approximately 141 square kilometers of portions of Apalachicola Bay.

Small differences in contrast stretch (DN values) exist because of variations in sea and weather conditions on each survey day. Positional_Accuracy: Horizontal_Positional_Accuracy: Horizontal_Positional_Accuracy_Report: RTK-GPS is assumed to be accurate within 1-2 meters. Standard GPS is assumed accurate within 5-10 meters. 99% of the positional data are DGPS. Unless noted, all GPS/DGPS data are referenced to WGS84 (NAD83). The sidescan-sonar towfish was towed from an outrigger on the starboard side of the survey vessel in 2005 and the port side in 2006 such that the sonar was about 1-m below the surface and even with the stern of the survey vessel. Lineage: Process_Step: Process_Description: The apbaymos1m.tif sidescan-sonar image was reprojected from WGS 84, UTM (zone 16N) to WGS 84, Geographic using the Blue Marble Geographics software (v. 5.2). The "Afine" option was used for the transformation model, the "Image extents" were used for the transformation area, and the output central latitude was 0 N and the pixel size was set to 1 m.
