About this collection

Downloaded 14 November 2026. This atlas covers a rectangular study area around Grand Bahama: 79.12–77.72°W, 26.42–26.95°N. It includes nearby waters; it is not an administrative boundary.

Pixel spacing is not survey accuracy. Elevation includes trees and buildings. Reef classes are remotely sensed habitats, not a navigation chart. Unmapped seabed remains blank.

Raster previews are reduced for browsing; downloadable GeoTIFFs retain source grid spacing except the derived NDVI (~16 m). Explore uses Esri World Imagery when available, with a local 2021 composite fallback; dates and resolution vary. Neither is a live view. Habitat display is approximately 16–17 m; its source classification is 5 m. Building and road vectors are displayed without fabricated heights.

GBPA paid imagery/LiDAR and the restricted Lucayan park dataset are not included. No live weather is shown. Population is modelled for 2020. Storm tracks show centres, not wind footprints. Dorian flooding is a dated observation with incomplete coverage, not a flood-risk forecast. OSM thematic layers include nodes and ways; multipolygon relations are not included.
