Title: Chesapeake Bay Tier I Coverage
Publication_Information:
Publication_Place: Gloucester Point, Virginia
Publisher: Virginia Institute of Marine Science
Description:
Abstract:
The Chesapeake Bay Tier I Coverage was produced by combining
all SAV polygons from the 1971, 1974, 1978, 1979, 1980, 1981,
1984, 1985, 1986, 1987, 1989, and 1990 annual submerged aquatic
vegetation distribution and abundance surveys which were
compiled from aerial photography.
Purpose:
The Tier I coverage represents the first tier of the
three-tiered strategy that has been adopted to evaluate
Chesapeake Bay restoration efforts. It includes all areas that
were shown to support SAV by the annual surveys for the period
of 1971 to 1990.

Data_Quality_Information
Attribute_Accuracy:
Attribute_Accuracy_Report:
The density attribute has been checked by comparison with the source
material
Logical_Consistency_Report:
The coverage contains full Arc/Info polygon topology. There are no
unlabeled polygons, no intersections, no unattached lines and all lines
have both left and right polygons identified.
Completeness_Report:
The dataset contains all SAV areas that were identified from the
areas flown. Some areas that are presumed to contain no SAV were
not flown. Some small beds, particularly along narrow
tributaries may not have been distinguishable on the aerial
photography. Some annual surveys did not cover the entire bay.
Positional_Accuracy:
Horizontal_Positional_Accuracy:
Horizontal_Positional_Accuracy_Report:
Horizontal positional accuracy is based upon the use of USGS
source quadrangles which are compiled to meet National Map
Accuracy Standards (NMAS). The aerial photographs were
manually overlaid on USGS base material during the photo
interpretation process. The maps were then digitized within
24 meters of the interperted line.

Process_Step:
Process_Description:
The coverage for each year was dissolved, retaining only the
density attribute which was renamed d71, d74, ... , d90.
These were then unioned to form a single large coverage.
It was inspected to determine the area contributed solely
by any one year and to detect any other anomallies. Finally
a tier1 item was added to the coverage and used to code SAV
polygons as one and everything else as zero. The coverage
was then disolved on the tier1 item and unioned with the
segment and quadrangle coverages to form the Tier I
coverage.
