|
These datasets show predicted benthic substrate types for submerged areas around Navy Base Guam. |
| accessInformation:
|
This project was designed and executed by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) National Centers for Coastal Ocean Science (NCCOS) in consultation with local academic and governmental organizations. The work was funded by the Naval Facilities Engineering Command (NAVFAC) with in-kind contributions from NCCOS. |
