<idAbs>This dataset denotes the polygons of the classified benthic habitat map of Northeast Puerto Rico by the Biogeography Branch. These polygons contain information on the major structure, detailed structure, % hardbottom, topographic complexity, biological cover, % coral cover, and the dominant coral type. These polygons were delineated from a principle component analysis derived from a suite of remotely sensed imagery and analyzing a feature extraction tool. Once the polygons were created, they were classified by a semi-automatic, rule based algorithm and corrected from randomly selected habitat ground validation and accuracy assessment videos. </idAbs>
