2007 Palm Beach County Essential Fish Habitat Mapping of Seagrass, Mangroves, Oysters, and Spartina in estuarine waters. (NODC Accession 0061752)

2007 Palm Beach County Mapping Project photointerpreted from June 20 & 22, July 21, and August 4 & 8, 2007 1:10,000 scale and July 1, 2007 1:4,800 scale natural color aerial photography of the entire Lake Worth Lagoon system and the ICW throughout Palm Beach County (excluding the ICW north of Jupiter Inlet and the Loxahatchee River). Features are classified according to PBC ERM modified FLUCCS. The 2007 photointerpretation for the project was accomplished on Avineon's ImageStation Stereo Display (ISSD). Habitat cover type boundaries were photogrammetrically digitized using CadMap/dgn software in conjunction with ISSD, running on Pentium workstations with Windows XP. This software directly captures digital data into MicroStation (Bentley Microsystems, Inc.) for later importation to ARC/INFO. Photointerpreters utilized previously collected field data along with other available collateral data to assist in their interpretation. Throughout the photointerpretation process, positional accuracy of feature boundaries was maintained according to the photographic signatures apparent on the photography. The minimum mapping unit for classification is 0.25 acres (=0.1 hectares). The horizontal accuracy of the data meets NMAS for 1:24,000 scale maps (+/- 40 feet).
