Description

Bathymetric and Differential GPS data collected on Eleuthera, Bahamas as collected by survey instruments. These data are used in Rovere et al., 2017 (PNAS, see references).

Bathymetry: data was acquired with an MX Biosonics Aquatic Habitat Echosounder (Depth accuracy 1.7cm±0.2% of depth; DGPS positional accuracy: <3m, 95%) mounted on a small boat. No tidal correction has been applied. No IMU corrections to take into account wave motion were applied.

GPS: GPS points and lines were measured with a Trimble Pro XRT GPS receiving real-time Omnistar HP corrections (2-sigma 95% accuracy of 10cm). Heights are referred to the ITRF Ellipsoid.

All data is in .shp format.
