The USGS collects singlebeam, multibeam, and interferometric swath bathymetry data to characterize subsurface features and geology using Digital Elevation Models (DEMs). This data outlines the footprint (study area) of all the bathymetric surveys from the USGS SPCMSC, and are labeled using their USGS Field Activity Number (FAN) and associated publication (Data Release, Data Series, Open-File Report).
This dataset represents the footprint of bathymetry data collected during field activity 2014-303-FA. More information about the field activity can be accessed here: https://cmgds.marine.usgs.gov/fan_info.php?fan=2014-303-FA. The bathymetry data that the footprint was created from was published by the U.S. Geological Survey St. Petersburg Coastal and Marine Science Center in Data Series 1007, which can be accessed here: https://doi.org/10.3133/ds1007
