Benthic Sampling Quadrant

Data format: File Geodatabase Feature Class

File or table name: benthic_Samplesites

Coordinate system: New_Zealand_Map_Grid

Abstract: This layer depicts the sampling quadrants of benthic fauna and where they are located. From five sampling sites, type of benthic fauna is identified and numbers counted (per 0.25m2 and per 0.0133m2) at each site. The five different sites each measure 60mx40m in area. 15 different samples taken at each site

FGDC and ESRI Metadata:
Metadata elements shown with blue text are defined in the Federal Geographic Data Committee's (FGDC) Content Standard for Digital Geospatial Metadata (CSDGM). Elements shown with green text are defined in the ESRI Profile of the CSDGM. Elements shown with a green asterisk (*) will be automatically updated by ArcCatalog. ArcCatalog adds hints indicating which FGDC elements are mandatory; these are shown with gray text.
