NCCOS Mapping: Collaborative Benthic Habitat Mapping in the Nearshore Waters of the Great Lakes Basin – Collection locations of GL-25-03 cruise benthic imagery and sediment samples along the Northern Lake Michigan coast, 2025-08-05 to 2025-09-29 (NCEI Accession 0312790)

Published by NOAA National Centers for Environmental Information | National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, Department of Commerce | Metadata Last Checked: February 28, 2026 | Last Modified: 2026-02-25T00:00:00.000+00:00
This dataset includes collection locations associated with sites sampled along the Northern Lake Michigan coast. Site information data was collected by a series of sampling platforms including, a Drop Camera, a Remotely Operated Vehicle (ROV), an Autonomous Operated Vehicle (AUV) and a Ponar sediment sampler. These data were collected in 2025 in northern Lake Michigan to characterize the lakebed and provide ground-truthing observation data for predictive substrate and biological community models. This dataset includes supplementary data used in planning the collection, including the planned sampling sites and environmental covariates used in sampling site allocation; including, but not limited to, latitude and longitude coordinates at each sample site, maximum sampling depth in meters and duration time of bottom sample. The dataset includes collection locations to be referenced in a cruise report.
