Multibeam Bathymetry Data Collected in December 2017, February and March 2018 at Looe Key, the Florida Keys
July 29, 2019
The U.S. Geological Survey St. Petersburg Coastal and Marine Science Center (USGS SPCMSC), collected multibeam bathymetry data at Looe Key in the Florida Keys during 3 separate survey legs, December 2017, February 2018 and March 2018, as a part of the Ecosystem Processes impacting Coastal Change project (EPIC) in an effort to assess sediment accumulation within the survey area. This USGS data release includes the resulting processed elevation point data (xyz) in the native format of the World Geodetic System of 1984 (WGS84). For further information regarding data collection and/or processing please see the metadata associated with this data release. Data were collected under Florida Keys National Marine Sanctuary permit FKNMS-2016-068.
