Description:

Abstract:

This data set contains coral reefs recorded on NOAA Nautical Charts located in marine waters within the vicinity of the Waianae moku (traditional district) on the Hawaiian Island of Oahu. This data was clipped from a larger data set that contains coral reefs within the vicinity of the eight main Hawaiian Islands.

Purpose:

The purpose of this data set is to show coral reefs within the vicinity of the Waianae moku on the Hawaiian Island of Oahu. It is part of a larger effort to provide the Waianae community, located on the western side of Oahu, ecological and cultural spatial data to assist in their land and resource management efforts.

Data_Quality_Information:

Attribute_Accuracy:

Attribute_Accuracy_Report: Accuracy dependant on source data

Logical_Consistency_Report:

These data are believed to be logically consistent, though no tests were performed. There are no overshoots, undershoots, or broken polygons. Line geometry is topologically clean.

Completeness_Report:

This dataset was digitized from raster nautical charts. During the digitization process, individual objects may have been omitted inadvertently. This dataset should not be construed to represent all known coral reefs in the vicinity of the main Hawaiian Islands.

Extreme caution should be used when using this dataset. This dataset should not be interpreted to represent anything more than gross approximations of the locations of coral reefs. The polygons do not accurately reflect oceanic extent and/or areal coverage.

Positional_Accuracy:

Horizontal_Positional_Accuracy:

Horizontal_Positional_Accuracy_Report: Horizontal position is accurate to the source nautical chart.

Process_Step:

Process_Description:

The raster nautical charts were first reprojected from their original projection/datum to UTM Zone 4, NAD 83 using NOAA's Nautical Chart Reprojector v1.8.3. NOAA's ArcView ChartViewer extension was used to display the reprojected nautical charts in ArcView v3.2. Subject areas were then digitized off the individual nautical charts and merged into a single dataset/shapefile which covers the entire state.
