Twenty-seven distinct benthic habitat types within eleven zones
were mapped directly into a GIS system using visual
interpretation of orthorectified aerial photographs and
hyperspectral imagery. Benthic features were mapped that covered
an area of 790 km^2. In all, 204 km^2 of unconsolidated
sediment, 171 km^2 of submerged vegetation, and 415 km^2 of
coral reef and colonized hardbottom were mapped. Miles Anderson,
