Trembanis AC and Miller DC. 2017. Coastal/Marine Ecological Classification Standard (CMECS) Classification Map for Assateague Island National Seashore. Arthur C. Trembanis, School of Marine Science and Policy, University of Delaware
Habitat classification map based on surveys completed along the 58‐km long Assateague barrier island stretching from the Ocean City inlet in Maryland, down past Chincoteague Island in northern Virginia. The data was collected June 20th-25th, 2014 and May 12th - 21th, 2015. Full coverage side-scan sonar and partial coverage bathymetry data were collected using an EdgeTech 6205 Multiphase Echosounder. In total, 73 square kilometers were mapped at primarily at 100m line spacing and 80 m swath range per channel (to allow overlap between lines).
