Orthophotography was flown in coastal regions of North Carolina and southeastern Virginia in an effort to establish long term mapping and monitoring of submerged aquatic vegetation (SAV) habitat in these areas. Orthophotos were tiled to the standard USGS DOQQ grid, with a small (app. 100 m) buffer produced with each tile to prevent gaps in coverage. Compliance with the accuracy standard was ensured by the collection of photo identifiable GPS ground control after the acquisition of aerial imagery. Data are in the commercial software ERDAS Imagine (.img) format with some GeoTIFF images and included browse (.jpg) graphics and metadata. Additional data from this collection is archived at the NODC under accession 0086096. Data were collected by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's (NOAA) Coastal Services Center and the North Carolina Department of the Environment and Natural Resources (NCDENR).
