- Abstract:
-
This polygon GIS data set represents detailed bathymetry for the Indian River Lagoon and the St. Lucie Estuary. Depth is stored in meters. Polygons were interpolated from approximately 75,000 surveyed points.
- Purpose:
-
Bathymetry coverage is used for monitoring, modeling and fieldwork purposes in the Indian River Lagoon and the St. Lucie Estuary.
- Supplemental_Information:
-
Prior to July 1, 2004, the Fish and Wildlife Research Institute (FWRI) was known as the Florida Marine Research Institute (FMRI). The institute name has not been changed in historical data sets or references to work completed by the Florida Marine Research Institute. The institute name has been changed in references to ongoing research, new research, and contact information.

- Process_Description:
-
The bathymetric polygon coverage was interpolated from point data into a grid and then converted to a polygon coverage. The point data, X, Y, Z ASCII files were surveyed on transect lines perpendicular to the shore at a distance of 25 feet between each point, and 500 or 1000 feet between each transect line. . The original point dataset was edited, removing anomalies from the dataset. This was done to aid in the interpolation process.
Topogrid was the gridding process used, with a cell size of 50 feet. After the data was interpolated into a grid, a polygon coverage was created from the data.
The polygon coverage was clipped to SFWMD's current IRL shoreline, and islands within the lagoon and estuary were also put back in. The interpolation process did not totally interpolate the channel correctly. The channel was manually edited in where it was missing in the interpolation with an average depth of 3.8 meters.
Finally the polygon coverage was edited for any obvious errors in the topogrid process.
