This project was conducted in collaboration with the National Ocean Service - Office of Coast Survey (OCS) Integrated Ocean and Coastal Mapping Program (IOCM) and the Olympic Coast National Marine Sanctuary (OCNMS) and their partners in order to collect swath bathymetry, acoustic backscatter data and water column data within high priority areas of the OCNMS. The data from this project provided seafloor habitat information to support fishery and resource protection mandates and will be used to update National Ocean Service nautical charting products within the area. The W00311 project sheet covered a total of 124.7 SNM within the OCNMS. Survey data from this project is intended to supersede all prior survey data in the common area.There were no products created for this survey.Please reference NOAA ship Rainier's Data Acquisition and Processing Report 2016 for a complete description of data acquisition and processing systems, survey vessels, quality control procedures and data processing methods.Soundings were reduced to Mean Lower Low Water (MLLW) using TCARI. There were no DTONs created for this survey.NOAA Ship RAINIER https://www.ngdc.noaa.gov/nos/W00001-W02000/W00311.htmlThis survey was evaluated as External Source Data and determined to be adequate for charting purposes.This survey does meet charting specifications and is adequate to supersede prior data.Data meet or exceed current specifications as certified by the OCS survey acceptance review process.
