Compilation of Data Sources Used to Construct Bottom-Sediment Province Maps for the United States East Coast Continental Shelf from Cape Kennedy to Cape Hatteras and for Various Indonesian Waters

Abstract

The purpose of this report is to document the data sources used to construct maps and digital databases of bottom-sediment type for a portion of the continental shelf off the eastern United States and for Indonesian waters. The east coast mapping region extends from approximately 28 deg-30 min N (Cape Canaveral) to 35 deg-30 min N (Cape Hatteras). Mapping of the Indonesian waters includes the Banda, Ceram, Molucca, Halmahera, and Flores Seas (see the attached figures showing the approximate boundaries of the mapped areas).
