    "title": "Mesophotic and Deep Benthic Communities: 2022 to 2023 Inventory of seafloor mapping, ground-truthing, and predictive habitat modeling datasets to support MDBC restoration in response to the Deepwater Horizon oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico (NCEI Accession 0295552)",
    "description": "This is a collection and inventory of existing seafloor mapping, ground-truthing, and predictive habitat modeling (MGM) data within the Gulf of Mexico. The inventory was compiled to support the Mesophotic and Deep Benthic Communities (MDBC) portfolio that aims to restore MDBC in the Gulf of Mexico as part of a Natural Resources Damage Assessment (NRDA) following the Deepwater Horizon (DWH) oil spill. Data were acquired from the collectors (federal and state agencies, as well as from academia and industry) between 2022 and 2023. Each dataset is represented in the inventory as a spatial footprint with corresponding quantitative and qualitative attributes. The seafloor mapping data are primarily remote sensing observations used to survey and derive depth, shape, and texture of the seafloor and characterize the geomorphological forms, substrates, and biota used to define MDBC habitats. Ground-truthing data are in-situ observations that provide visual and analytical characterization of information documenting the abundance and distribution of MDBC, substrate, and geomorphology. Predictive habitat models analyze habitat-environment or species-environment relationships from seafloor mapping data, in-situ observations, and environmental data to predict MDBC habitat. Except for the predictive habitat models, all datasets were collected in the Gulf of Mexico.",
