Side Scan Sonar Data from the May 2011 Surveys of the Oceanic Nearshore of Assateague Island from Ocean City Inlet to Toms Cove Hook
Side scan mosaic image of nearshore seafloor off Assateague Island. This raster image is one of eight side scan sonar (SSS) mosaic tiles (A through H, north to south), covering the marine nearshore adjacent to Assateague Island National Seashore. The SSS data was collected in May and June, 2011, as part of a study, funded by the National Park Service, to create a baseline inventory of submerged marine resources within and immediately adjacent to the Assateague Island National Seashore boundary. The study area included the Atlantic nearshore area extending out to approximately 1.5 km offshore, along the 58-km Assateague Island shoreline. In addition to the side scan sonar data, other geophysical data collected for the study included bathymetry, sub-bottom seismic profiles, magnetic field data, seafloor sediments, and underwater video imagery.
