WFSPacific Islands Ocean Observing System (PacIOOS) WFSData from the Pacific Islands Ocean Observing System (PacIOOS) of the School of Ocean and Earth Science and Technology (SOEST) at the University of Hawaii. PacIOOS is one of eleven regional observing programs in the U.S. supporting the Integrated Ocean Observing System (IOOS). The PacIOOS region includes the U.S. Pacific Region (Hawaii, Guam, American Samoa, Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands), the Pacific nations in Free Association with the U.S. (Republic of the Marshall Islands, Federated States of Micronesia, Republic of Palau), and the U.S. Minor Outlying Islands (Howland, Baker, Johnston, Jarvis, Kingman, Palmyra, Midway, Wake). These data are served using GeoServer in a variety of interoperable data services and output formats: http://geo.pacioos.hawaii.edu/geoserver/. See http://geoserver.org for further documentation; and GeoServer's WFS documentation at: http://docs.geoserver.org/latest/en/user/services/wfs/.

NOAA's National Centers for Coastal Ocean Science (NCCOS) produced these data to support coral reef research and management. Habitat regions were digitally identified using visual interpretation of orthorectified satellite imagery with a minimum mapping unit (MMU) of approximately 100 square meters (1/40 acre).
A slightly different benthic habitat classification scheme was used for the NWHI compared to the Main Hawaiian Islands (MHI) and other regions across the Pacific (e.g., American Samoa, Guam, and CNMI). While many classes are similar, they are not categorized as biological cover types, geomorphological structure types, and geographic zones. Instead, a hierarchical scheme was used to flexibly denote substrate category (e.g., unconsolidated and hardbottom), structure (e.g., linear reef or pavement), and cover (e.g., coral, coralline algae, or macroalgae).
A total of 45 detailed benthic habitat classes were identified within the NWHI. For simplification and to more easily distinguish cover types, these are presented in a set of 7 aggregated benthic habitat classes including 5 hardbottom substrate classes (live coral, coralline algae, macroalgae, uncolonized, and unknown biological cover) and 2 unconsolidated substrate classes (macroalgae and uncolonized). Query an aggregated polygon to get the detailed benthic habitat classification at the clicked location.Earth Science > Biological Classification > Plants > Angiosperms (Flowering Plants) > Monocots > Seagrass, Earth Science > Biosphere > Aquatic Ecosystems > Benthic Habitat, Earth Science > Biosphere > Vegetation, Earth Science > Land Surface > Geomorphology > Coastal Landforms/Processes, Earth Science > Oceans > Coastal Processes > Coral Reefs, Earth Science > Solid Earth > Geomorphic Landforms/Processes > Coastal Landforms > Coral Reefs, Earth Science > Solid Earth > Geomorphic Landforms/Processes > Coastal Landforms > Coral Reefs > Patch Reef, oceans, biota, Continent > North America > United States Of America > Hawaii, Ocean > Pacific Ocean > Central Pacific Ocean > Hawaiian Islands > Northwestern Hawaiian Islands > Kure AtollEPSG:4326absabs_2abs_3abs_4acosAddCoveragesAggregateareaarea2AreaGridasinatanatan2BarnesSurfacebetweenboundaryboundaryDimensionBoundsbufferBufferFeatureCollectionbufferWithSegmentsCategorizeceilcentroidclassifyClipCollectGeometriesCollection_AverageCollection_BoundsCollection_CountCollection_MaxCollection_MedianCollection_MinCollection_SumCollection_UniqueConcatenatecontainsContourconvertconvexHullcosCountCropCoveragecrossesdateFormatdateParsedensifydifferencedimensiondisjointdisjoint3Ddistancedistance3Ddouble2boolendAngleendPointenvenvelopeEqualIntervalequalsExactequalsExactToleranceequalToexpexteriorRingFeaturefloorgeometryTypegeomFromWKTgeomLengthGeorectifyCoverageGetFullCoveragegetGeometryNgetXgetYgetzgreaterEqualThangreaterThanGridHeatmapidIEEEremainderif_then_elseImportin10in2in3in4in5in6in7in8in9InclusionFeatureCollectionint2bboolint2ddoubleinteriorPointinteriorRingNInterpolateintersectionIntersectionFeatureCollectionintersectsintersects3DisClosedisCoverageisEmptyisLikeisNullisometricisRingisSimpleisValidisWithinDistanceisWithinDistance3DJenkslengthlessEqualThanlessThanlistlogLRSGeocodeLRSMeasureLRSSegmentmaxmax_2max_3max_4minmin_2min_3min_4mincircleminimumdiameterminrectanglemoduloMultiplyCoveragesNearestnotnotEqualTonumberFormatnumberFormat2numGeometriesnumInteriorRingnumPointsoctagonalenvelopeoffsetoverlapsPagedUniqueparameterparseBooleanparseDoubleparseIntparseLongpiPointBufferspointNPointStackerPolygonExtractionpolygonizepowpropertyPropertyExistsQuantileQueryrandomRangeLookupRasterAsPointCollectionRasterZonalStatisticsRecodeRectangularCliprelaterelatePatternreprojectReprojectGeometryrintroundround_2roundDoubleScaleCoveragesetCRSsimplifysinSnapsplitPolygonsqrtStandardDeviationstartAnglestartPointStoreCoveragestrCapitalizestrConcatstrEndsWithstrEqualsIgnoreCasestrIndexOfstrLastIndexOfstrLengthstrMatchesstrPositionstrReplacestrStartsWithstrSubstringstrSubstringStartstrToLowerCasestrToUpperCasestrTrimstrTrim2StyleCoveragesymDifferencetantoDegreestoRadianstouchestoWKTTransformunionUnionFeatureCollectionUniqueUniqueIntervalVectorToRasterVectorZonalStatisticsverticeswithin
