Supplemental Data: Environmental Survey Of Potential Sand Resource Sites Offshore Delaware And Maryland, Virginia Institute Of Marine Science

Data

The APR file "mdde_habitat" and the directories "gisdata", "images", and "temp" together are an appendix to Part 1, "Benthic Habit Mapping and Resource Evaluation of Potential Sand Mining Areas Offshore Maryland and Delaware, 1998-1999" that was created with and must be read with "ArcView" (tm) software with the "Spatial Analyst" extension. To view the project, start the ArcView program and open the project file, mmde-habitat.apr, when prompted. The project should enable the necessary extensions. It is a very large file and may take 5 to 10 minutes to load.

Bathymetric Line Chesapeake Bay, Virginia Institute Of Marine Science, Sav Program, Chesapeake Bay Program

Data

This is a GIS layer showing the 1- and -2-meter low water contours that were created in support of the SAV (Submerged Aquatic Vegetation) goals by the Chesapeake Bay Program.

The file was originally created in the mid – 1990s in ArcInfo as a coverage and then later converted to a shapefile. In 2010 the Shoreline Studies Program was given permission to use the data and convert it a KML format that can be viewed in Google earth.

This bathymetric contours file covers the Chesapeake bay in Maryland and Virginia.
