This data set consists of ground control polygons used for model training and evaluation (ground_control_polygons.gpkg): This dataset consists of refined vegetation polygons digitized across the island of Lāna‘i representing the 15 land cover classes of interest. High-resolution aerial imagery and extensive field experience were used to iteratively collect and improve the polygons through expert review and interpretation. The polygons were divided into a 250m grid overlaying the island to balance sample size and spatial resolution while reducing spatial autocorrelation, resulting in 1,754 smaller polygons. These polygon data served as the primary dataset used to train, validate, and evaluate the classification models through cross-validation. An iterative collection process aimed to achieve satisfactory model accuracy across all classes prior to final model selection and island-wide mapping.

The Collaborative Australian Protected Areas Database (CAPAD) 2018 provides both spatial and textual information about government, Indigenous and privately protected areas for Australia, in both the marine and terrestrial environments. This dataset is the marine component of the CAPAD only. Marine CAPAD provides information about off-shore protected areas in both state and Commonwealth waters. State and Territory conservation agencies supplied data current to 30 June 2018. This is the ninth version of the marine database, with previous versions released in 1997, 2002, 2004, 2008, 2010, 2012, 2014 and 2016.The Department also publishes protected areas data for the terrestrial environment. The terrestrial component of the database has been previously released in 1997, 2000, 2002, 2004, 2006, 2008 2010, 2012, 2014 and 2016.CAPAD provides a snapshot of protected areas that meet the IUCN definition of a protected area: "A protected area is a clearly defined geographical space, recognised, dedicated and managed, through legal or other effective means, to achieve the long term conservation of nature with associated ecosystem services and cultural values." (IUCN Definition 2008).The department publishes a summary of the CAPAD data biennially on its website at https://www.dcceew.gov.au/environment/land/nrs/science/capad.CAPAD 2018 is available for use through the CC-BY 4.0 licencing model.The main attributes of Marine CAPAD 2018 are described below. For more information please refer to the CAPAD Technical Specification document.Marine CAPAD 2018 Attributes:PA_ID: A unique three digit code for the protected area that should persist between versions of CAPAD. This field was named 'PA_ID_grp' in CAPAD 2016.PA_PID: A unique code for a parcel or zone within a protected area that should persist between versions of CAPAD. The first three digits of the PA_PID code (the PA_ID) are common to all component polygons of a single protected area. This field was named 'PA_ID' in previous versions of CAPAD.NAME: The official (gazetted) name of a protected area.TYPE: The type of protected area according to the establishment mechanism. e.g. Marine National Park, Marine Sanctuary, Indigenous Protected AreaTYPE_ABBR: The abbreviation of the protected area TYPE.AMP = Australian Marine ParkAQR = Aquatic ReserveCA = Conservation AreaCP = Conservation ParkDPAA = Dugong Protection Area (A)DPAB = Dugong Protection Area (B)DS = Dolphin SanctuaryFHAA = Fish Habitat Area (A)FHAB = Fish Habitat Area (B)FHPA = Fish Habitat Protection AreaGR = Game ReserveIPA = Indigenous Protected AreaLS = Rock Lobster SanctuaryMCA = Marine Conservation AreaMMA = Marine Management AreaMNP = Marine National ParkMNR = Marine Nature ReserveMP = Marine ParkMS = Marine SanctuaryNP = National ParkNPC = National Park (Commonwealth)NPS4 = National Parks Act - Schedule 4 park or reserveNR = Nature ReserveS5G = 5(1)(g) ReserveS5H = 5(1)(h) ReserveSH = Shipwreck ReserveIUCN: the IUCN protected area management category ascribed by the managing authority.IA = Strict Nature ReserveIB = Wilderness AreaII = National ParkIII = Natural Monument or FeatureIV = Habitat/Species Management AreaV = Protected Landscape/SeascapeVI = Protected area with sustainable use of natural resourcesNR = (Not Reported) - For protected areas where an IUCN category is unknown and/or the data provider has not provided any related information.NA = (Not Applicable) - Denotes an area that does not meet the NRS criteria or the IUCN definition of a protected area but has management complimentary to the NRS.NAS = (Not Assigned) - The protected area meets the standard definition of protected areas but the data provider has chosen not to use the IUCN Protected Area Management Categories.NRS_MPA: This attribute indicates the status of the protected area in terms of meeting the standard for inclusion in the NRSMPA. For marine reserves refer to the document “Guidelines for Establishing the National Representative System of Marine

This data set consists of ground control points used for independent pixel-level model validation (ground_control_points.gpkg): This dataset consists of 295 points distributed across the 15 vegetation classes on the island of Lāna‘i. The points were randomly generated from the final species-specific land cover classification map and stratified by class to ensure representation across all classes. The dataset provides species-specific land cover labels for the points, with the spatial location corresponding to the pixel coordinate location on the 2m resolution land cover map. Comparing modeled class assignments to these expert-validated classes enables an independent accuracy assessment supplemental to the polygon-based cross-validation accuracy evaluation.

These maps show for the first time an accurate georeferenced mosaic of the Marshall Islands, the Federated States of Micronesia, the Republic of Palau and their respective corresponding shallow water areas. Shallow-water (generally, less than 30 meters) bank and land areas in these areas were identified through analysis of Landsat 7 ETM+ satellite imagery. The mosaics are laid over ETOPO2 Bathymetric Data to provide an enhanced understanding of how the Atolls and Islands fit together. In addition selected islands and atolls are shown next to the mosaic. This project was conducted in support of the U.S. Coral Reef Task Force. Data in this accession are best used with appropriate Geographic Information System (GIS) software.

This data set contains management area data for artificial reefs, designated critical habitats, national parks, marine sanctuaries, special management areas, state/regional parks, and wildlife refuges in Hawaii. Vector polygons in this data set represent management areas. Location-specific type and source information is stored in relational data tables (described below) designed to be used in conjunction with this spatial data layer. This data set comprises a portion of the Environmental Sensitivity Index (ESI) data for Hawaii. ESI data characterize the marine and coastal environments and wildlife by their sensitivity to spilled oil. The ESI data include information for three main components: shoreline habitats, sensitive biological resources, and human-use resources. See also the SOCECON (Socioeconomic Resource Points) data layer, part of the larger Hawaii ESI database, for additional human-use information.

NCALM. PI: Taylor Perron, Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). The collection area totals 200 square kilometers over portions of the Alakai Wilderness Preserve, Halelea Forest Reserve, and the Hanalei National Wildlife Refuge. The dataset covers most of the Waniha and Hanalei watersheds and the headwaters of the Olokeke watershed. The Field campaign lasted for 4 days starting on 29th June, 2009, and ending on 2nd July, 2009. Flying took place on all the four days totaling 15 hrs of flying time and 3 hours 45 minutes of laser on time.
