Cover Story: Benthic (or seafloor) habitats are spatially recognizable areas with physical, chemical, and/or biological characteristics that differ from surrounding areas. This study applies a common approach to defining benthic geologic habitats using acoustic side-scan sonar validated by ground-truth data (sediment samples and underwater video imagery) for portions of Acadia National Park, Maine, USA. Habitats were classified using the Coastal and Marine Ecological Classification Standard (CMECS) Substrate, Geoform and Biotic components. Study sites focused on rocky intertidal habitats and demonstrate the effectiveness of the CMECS classification, including the framework’s ability to be flexible in communicating information.
