This shapefile denotes the location of underwater photos and videos taken in Fish Bay and Coral Bay, St. John and the St. Thomas East End Reserve (STEER) in the U.S. Virgin Islands (USVI). These locations were explored using an underwater camera because their habitat types were unknown. They were collected between 10/23-10/31/12, and used to train a machine learning algorithm to classify seafloor features and develop a benthic habitat map for Fish Bay, Coral Bay and the St. Thomas East End Reserve (STEER) in the U.S. Virgin Islands.
