Description:

"This report describes the creation and assessment of a shallow (0<=50 m), moderate (50 <=1,000 m) and deepwater (1,000 <=1,830 m) benthic habitat map for the Buck Island Reef National Monument (BIRNM) north of St. Croix in the U.S. Virgin Islands. The objective of this effort, conducted by NOAA's Center for Coastal Monitoring and Assessment's Biogeography Branch in partnership with the U.S. National park Service (NPS), was to provide spatially-explicit information describing the benthic habitat types and live coral cover present in the full extent of BIRNM's boundaries. The three resulting habitat maps, generated using a combination of semi-automated classification and visual interpretation techniques, represent the first digital maps of the moderate and deep-water areas inside the Monument"--Page ii.
