Submerged aquatic vegetation (SAV) CRSSA image classification of the Barnegat Bay - Little Egg Harbor estuary, New Jersey: 2009

This is a GIS data layer representing submerged aquatic vegetation (SAV) of the Barnegat Bay - Little Egg Harbor estuary, 2009, developed by classifying high resolution airborne digital camera imagery. Included are the submerged aquatic vegetation densities mapped into three classes throughout the study area and their respective area and perimeter for each polygon. The three classes of SAV are: 1) Dense (80% - 100% cover), 2) Moderate (40% - 80% cover), and 3) Sparse (10% - 40% cover). For full documentation, please refer to the technical report, 'Assessment of Seagrass Status in the Barnegat Bay - Little Egg Harbor Estuary System: 2003 and 2009 (Rutgers University, Lathrop and Haag, 2010), which is listed in the...
