The DR is maintained as a field unit product, therefore all information and recommendations within this report are considered preliminary unless otherwise noted. The final disposition of survey data is represented in the NOAA nautical chart products. All pertinent records for this survey are archived at the National Centers for Environmental Information (NCEI) and can be retrieved via https://www.ncei.noaa.gov/. Products created during office processing were generated in NAD83 UTM 17N, MLLW.

The study involves federal, state, and local agencies who are taking a comprehensive approach to investigate the interconnections between the subsurface geology and the ecological processes that support the diverse coastal habitat. This research will help improve design planning and execution for effective restoration efforts. A 1-meter MBES grid was provided to the Pacific Hydrographic Branch via the External Source Data Team. The original xyz file was shifted from WGS84 UTM 17N and WGS84 height to NAD83 UTM 17N and MLLW using VDatum. The shifted xyz file was then imported into CARIS Base Editor as a point cloud which was then imported as a 1 meter grid. All data were reviewed for DTONs and none were identified in this survey.
