An approach to the development of a relational database and GIS applicable scheme for the analysis of video-based surveys of benthic habitats

"An adaptation of an existing marine benthic habitat classification scheme is presented to facilitate the incorporation of video-based survey data into marine benthic habitat characterization. The present scheme is designed to describe seafloor environments through both qualitative and quantitative descriptors and is based on the classification system of marine sublittoral habitats proposed by Valentine et al. (2005). Although this scheme is based on observations taken of deep seafloor habitats in Northeastern North America, its structure is intended to be easily adapted to various seabed environments."--Document.
