Digital image mosaics of the nearshore coastal waters of selected areas on the island of Moloka'i generated using aerial photographs and SHOALS airborne lidar bathymetry data

Published by U.S. Geological Survey | Department of the Interior | Metadata Last Checked: July 18, 2025 | Last Modified: 20211015
This portion of the data release contains digital image mosaics along the south coast of Moloka'i. Digital mosaics at 1-foot (0.3048-meter) resolution, including the areas of Pala'au, Umipa'a, Kaunakakai, Kamiloloa, Kawela, Kamalo, and Kalaeloa, were generated from 1:10K aerial photography, and are presented in one zip file (molokai_1ft.zip) that also contains lower-resolution 'browse' graphics of each image-mosaic area, as well as associated metadata. Digital mosaics at 1-meter resolution, including the areas of La'au Point, Hale O Lono, Waiakane, Pala'au, Kaunakakai, Kamiloloa, Kawela, Kamalo, and Puko‘o, were generated from 1:35K aerial photography, and are presented in a second zip file (molokai_1m.zip) that also contains 'browse' graphics of each image mosaic area, as well as associated metadata. Several of the 1-meter-resolution images have been merged together and combined with lidar bathymetry data to create three large shaded-relief images along the southwest (Waiakane to Pala'au), southcentral (Pala'au to Kawela), and southeast (Kawela to Puko'o) coasts of Moloka'i. These shaded-relief images are presented in a third zip file (molokai_1m_shaded.zip), along with 'browse' graphics of each image mosaic area and associated metadata.
