Seagrass map, Cat Island, Mississippi, 2023 Seagrass map, Cat Island, Mississippi, 2023
This product depicts the spatial coverage of seagrass beds from 0.5-m color-infrared orthoimagery for Cat Island, Mississippi from early fall of 2023. Specifically, the map includes presence and absence of seagrass beds within a potential seagrass extent that was based on topobathymetric data. A minimum mapping unit of 4 square meters was used for this mapping effort. We did not have...
