This feature class contains the simplified transect data from the 2000-2020 Puget Sound eelgrass monitoring dataset. This dataset is produced by the Submerged Vegetation Monitoring Program (SVMP) within the Washington Department of Natural Resources based on annual monitoring. This simplified transect data are in the form of lines that represent the paths of underwater video surveys that were subsequently classified for the presence of eelgrass, Z. japonica and surfgrass. <\/SPAN><\/P>

These data were simplified from the more detailed transect point data for the purpose of supporting a map service. In addition, the attribute table for the simplified transects includes many additional attributes that are not included in the point data. These additional attributes were derived from other tables in the SVMP database through joins and summaries.<\/SPAN><\/P>

This feature class is distributed in an ArcGIS file geodatabase. A separate geodatabase is distributed with the main spatial and tabular data for the 2000-2020 dataset.
