Description: <span style="font-family:"Avenir Next W01", "Avenir Next W00", "Avenir Next", Avenir, "Helvetica Neue", sans-serif; font-size:16px;">Sidescan sonar data were collected using a 200 khz Teledyne Benthos C3D by TPWD staff from 2008-2016. This survey extent did NOT fully cover all of Galveston Bay and thus should not be used to make direct comparisons to Powell 1991 estimates without properly subsetting by overlapping survey area! Oyster habitat was manually delineated to a MMU of 1 acre. See metadata for survey date for specific areas of the bay - the survey was completed as a mosaic over a long period of time (8 years) and thus does not have a single publication date: Use caution when interpreting data for temporal trends</span><div style="font-family:"Avenir Next W01", "Avenir Next W00", "Avenir Next", Avenir, "Helvetica Neue", sans-serif; font-size:16px;"><br /></div><div style="font-family:"Avenir Next W01", "Avenir Next W00", "Avenir Next", Avenir, "Helvetica Neue", sans-serif; font-size:16px;">Ground truthing was completed; overall map accuracy is 73%</div>
