The area including Pago Pago Harbor south to Taema Bank show notable variations in acoustic reflectance.
Within the harbor, the seafloor is dominated by high backscatter values that most likely reflect the sand and mud dominated benthic environment. Small areas of low backscatter correspond with seafloor highs composed of hard substrate that are either small seamounts or carbonate edifices.
![Page 15: Wet DEMs – Lessons Learned Working with Bathymetric Data in the Hawaiian Islands Emily Lundblad NOAA Pacific Islands Fisheries Science Center Coral Reef](https://reader038.vdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022110209/56649e1b5503460f94b08adf/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Approaching Taema Bank to the south of Pago Pago harbor, the edifices increase in abundance and are flat topped in many places.
Taema Bank is composed of mostly low backscatter seafloor, reflecting its hard volcanic and/or carbonate composition.

Solutions?
Remote locations, limited access, ship schedules, funding, and ocean & coastal conditions will always be a bittersweet component
Seasonal planning (ocean state & traffic) and permitting (endangered species)
Depends on NOAA’s Office of Coast Survey’s priorities:first nautical charting for NOAA – PIFSC – CRED this spring: Saipan, Tinian and Rota harbors (again, ties into remoteness of locations)
Sampling plan assessment is underway for one type of optical validation within CRED (others not yet planned, but greatly needed)
Balancing sound spatial statistics and ecological significance
Oracle database for division is under development but has not gained trust and use from Principal Investigators yet
Great need for ground up implementation of data management planneeds assessment, personnel training, PI awareness
