Summary

The U.S. Geological Survey St. Petersburg Coastal and Marine Science Center (USGS SPCMSC), collected multibeam bathymetry data off the coast of Santa Rosa Island, Florida in June of 2019. The data was collected as part of the USGS Resource Evaluation for Management Applications (CREMA) project. This USGS Data Release includes the resulting processed elevation point data (XYZ) as derived from a 1-meter grid. For further information regarding data collection and/or processing please see the metadata associated with this data release.

This USGS data release includes the resulting processed elevation point data (XYZ) collected under the Field Activity Number (FAN) 2019-326-FA aboard the Research Vessel (RV) Sallenger. The XYZ data are provided in the World Geodetic System of 1984 (WGS84) vertical and horizontal datums.
