Service Description:

This product served as source information for a fine-scale assessment of the status, abundance, and distribution of marine habitats of Vieques. One-meter panchromatic and four-meter multi-spectral data from the IKONOS satellite sensor were purchased for the mapping area. Photo-interpreters accurately and reliably delineated boundaries of features from this IKONOS imagery as they appeared on the computer monitor using a software interface.

IKONOS satellite imagery provides precise and robust data with spectral and spatial resolution suitable for shallow water benthic mapping. Furthermore, satellite imagery provides efficient and effective global coverage for repeated imaging of remote islands that are often obscured by cloud cover. Ten scenes were obtained for the area extending approximately 3 nm from the shoreline of Vieques. The IKONOS satellite, owned and operated by GeoEye, provides commercially available panchromatic (black and white) and multispectral (blue/green/red/near-infrared) imagery. The panchromatic imagery has a 1 m pixel dimension and the multispectral imagery has a 4 m pixel dimension. The IKONOS imagery was acquired in 11 km wide swaths that are mosaicked together to produce complete images of locales.
