Abstract

A new data layer provides Coastal and Marine Ecological Classification Standard (CMECS) labels for global coastal segments at 1 km or shorter resolution. These characteristics are summarized for six US Marine Biodiversity Observation Network (MBON) sites and one MBON Pole to Pole of the Americas site in Argentina. The global coastlines CMECS classifications were produced from a partitioning of a 30 m Landsat-derived shoreline vector that was segmented into 4 million 1 km or shorter segments. Each segment was attributed with values from 10 variables that represent the ecological settings in which the coastline occurs, including properties of the adjacent water, adjacent land, and coastline itself. The 4 million segments were classified into 81,000 coastal segment units (CSUs) as unique combinations of variable classes. We summarize the process to develop the CSUs and derive summary descriptions for the seven MBON case study sites. We discuss the intended application of the new CSU data for research and management in coastal areas.

海岸带段单元的全球生态分类与海洋生物多样性观测网络评价

一个新的数据层以1公里或更短的分辨率为全球海岸段提供了海岸和海洋生态分类标准（CMECS）标签。总结了六个美国海洋生物多样性观测网（MBON）站点和一个位于阿根廷的MBON美洲极点对极点站点的这些特征。全球海岸线CMECS分类是根据陆地卫星衍生的30米海岸线矢量划分而成的，该矢量被划分为400万个1公里或更短的线段。每个分段都用10个变量的值进行了归属，这些变量代表了海岸线发生的生态环境，包括邻近水域、邻近土地和海岸线本身的特性。400万个分段被分类为81000个海岸分段单元（CSU），作为可变类别的独特组合。我们总结了CSU的开发过程，并对七个MBON案例研究站点进行了总结描述。我们讨论了CSU新数据在沿海地区研究和管理中的预期应用。

期刊介绍： First published in July 1988, Oceanography is the official magazine of The Oceanography Society. It contains peer-reviewed articles that chronicle all aspects of ocean science and its applications. In addition, Oceanography solicits and publishes news and information, meeting reports, hands-on laboratory exercises, career profiles, book reviews, and shorter, editor-reviewed articles that address public policy and education and how they are affected by science and technology. We encourage submission of short papers to the Breaking Waves section that describe novel approaches to multidisciplinary problems in ocean science.
