Sebastian Pinnacles Oculina Banks Clelia Dive 618 2001 Digital Imagery - Captured from Videotapes taken during Submersible Dives to the Oculina Banks Deep Sea Coral Reefs (NODC Accession 0047190)

Published by NOAA Undersea Research Center at UNCW | National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, Department of Commerce | Metadata Last Checked: January 31, 2026 | Last Modified: 2002-12-31T00:00:00.000+00:00
Digitial imagery, mpegs and jpegs, captured from mini-DV magnetic videotapes collected with an underwater 3-chip CCD color video camera, deployed from the research submersible, Clelia (owned by Harbor Branch Oceanographic Inst.). Digital clips captured at a minimum of 150 dpi; mpeg file sizes generally range from 0.5 to over 2 Mb. Digital Imagery Captured from Videotapes Recorded during 2001 Clelia Submersible Dives to the Oculina Banks Deep Sea Coral Reefs. The data presented in the Oculina Banks Geographic Information System (OGIS) was collected as part of a cooperative project between: the National Oceanographic and Atmospheric Administration's (NOAA) Undersea Research Program, NOAA Fisheries (also primary sponsor of OGIS), NOAA Ocean Service, NOAA Ocean Exploration Program, the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS)-- Coastal and Marine Geology Program, Harbor Branch Oceanographic Institution (HBOI) and Florida State University. An Oculina Geographic Information System (OGIS) provides a comprehensive, interactive data source for the Oculina Banks Habitat Area of Particular Concern (OHAPC), a marine protected area off the east coast of Florida in 70 to 120 meters of water depth. Data layers include; multi-beam bathymetry, single-beam bathymetry, sidescan mosaics, sediment analyses, resulting interpretative maps of habitat types, video and still imagery from submersible (human occupied and remotely operated vehicles) dive transects and point counts (fish and habitat cover), and dive narratives. This metadata record relates to images captured from videotapes recorded during the 2001 "Islands in the Stream" Expedition, on fourteen "Clelia" submersible dives.
