Abstract:
Eelgrass (Zostera marina) in Hood Canal, Washington. Developed as a component dataset for the project "Using High Spatial Resolution Hyperspectral Imagery to Describe Eelgrass (Zostera marina) Landscape Structure in Hood Canal, WA", the purpose of which was to relate the landscape structure of the intertidal eelgrass to shoreline modifications as a quantitative index of essential habitat quality for migrating juvenile summer chum salmon.
Purpose:
Recognizing the important ecological role that long, relatively thin eelgrass corridors play in juvenile summer chum salmon (Oncorhynchus spp.) migration in Hood Canal, and the limitations of space-borne remote sensing platforms, we initiated this study to determine (1) if it is feasible to develop eelgrass habitat coverages at a spatial scale of 1-2 m using a CASI sensor; and (2) if we could differentiate between spectrally similar, co-occurring vegetation (i.e., eelgrass and green macroalgae). The broader purpose of this study is to relate the landscape structure of the intertidal eelgrass to shoreline modifications as a quantitative index of essential habitat quality for migrating juvenile summer chum salmon. In this respect, the fine grain resolution was necessary in order to relate the intertidal landscape structure to the behavior and ecology of these small fish. Since we planned to incorporate resulting data into GIS, we were also interested in determining if the CASI imagery (a two-dimensional, charge couple device, array based push broom imaging spectrograph) could be geometrically corrected to approximately the same spatial scale as the image resolution. (~5- 10 m).

Process_Description:
The original GRIDs classified from the flightlines were added together using the Map Calculator in ArcView 3.3 Spatial Analyst. When the individual GRIDs produced from the original CASI flightlines were added into one data set, all but one of the GRIDs were resampled to within 0.5 meters of their original location. This occurred because there was not a spacing of 1.5 meters between each of the original GRIDs. The following list details the original GRIDs and in what direction they moved when they were were resampled.
