Richibucto Harbour Eelgrass Classification

Richibucto Harbour Eelgrass Classification An eelgrass distribution map was classified from remotely sensed imagery in Richibucto Harbour, New Brunswick. Derived from a Quickbird satellite image collected on August 28th, 2007 at as close to low-tide as possible. Quickbird's ground resolution is 2.4 m. Classification was objected-oriented using Definiens software. Accuracy was 81.5%. Data used for accuracy and training was collected along transects using a differential GPS positioned towfish holding sidescan sonar, and a video camera that was later transcribed as XY points to describe eel-grass presence. 2024-07-12 Environment and Climate Change Canada atlcatalogueinfo@ec.gc.ca Form DescriptorsNature and EnvironmentScience and TechnologyGulf of St. Lawrence; eelgrass; Zostera marina; image classification; remote sensing; coastal; Richibucto; Nature and Biodiversity-HabitatAquatic plantsAssess Status of SpeciesProtect Species Well-BeingAtlantic - New Brunswick (NB) RichibuctoFGDB/GDB https://data-donnees.az.ec.gc.ca/data/species/assess/new-brunswick-gulf-of-st.-lawrence-eelgrass-classification/richibucto-harbour-eelgrass-classification/?lang=fr RichibuctoFGDB/GDB https://data-donnees.az.ec.gc.ca/data/species/assess/new-brunswick-gulf-of-st.-lawrence-eelgrass-classification/richibucto-harbour-eelgrass-classification/?lang=en
