Integrated hard and soft bottom seafloor substrate map of Ta'u, American Samoa, combining NOAA Pacific Island Fisheries Science Center Coral Reef Ecosystem Division hard-soft substrate map with NOAA Center for Coastal Monitoring and Assessment Biogeography Program shallow-water benthic habitat map of American Samoa.

Hard and soft seafloor substrate map, derived from integrating two existing map products: hard and soft seafloor substrate map derived from an unsupervised classification of multibeam backscatter and bathymetry derivatives, produced by NOAA Pacific Island Fisheries Science Center Coral Reef Ecosystem Division (CRED), and shallow-water benthic habitat map of American Samoa, produced by NOAA Center for Coastal Monitoring and Assessment Biogeography Program. Please refer to separate metadata and documentation for these two products: Substrate - hard bottom vs. soft bottom - 5 meter grid https://www.soest.hawaii.edu/pibhmc/cms/data-by-location/american-samoa/tau/tau-geomorphology/ Shallow-water benthic habitat map http://ccma.nos.noaa.gov/ecosystems/coralreef/us_pac_terr/ This data is for Ta'u Island, Territory of American Samoa, USA.
