Five distinct seafloor habitat classes—Reef, Glacial Till, Silt, Silt with Bedforms, and Sand with Bedforms—were derived from an unsupervised classification of multibeam bathymetry and backscatter data. The map, created by researchers from Fisheries and Oceans Canada, classifies acoustically separated spatial units using in situ imagery and video validation. It represents a benthoscape classification for German Bank off South West Nova Scotia.
