about this Topic

photo of bathymetry The mapping of bathymetry (or depth to the sea floor) provides base maps for USGS studies as well as for other federal, state and local agencies. Mapping the bathymetry of the coast and shallow portion of the U.S. is important because these areas are used for recreation, transportation, and waste disposal; contain most of the currently harvested fisheries resources; provide habitat for juvenile and endangered species; are valued for their aesthetics; and are most affected by human activities.
