The distribution of submerged aquatic vegetation (SAV), principally rooted vascular macrophytes in Chesapeake Bay, its tributaries, and the coastal bays of the Delmarva Peninsula, was mapped from 1,987 black and white aerial photographs. These were taken between May and October 1998, at a scale of 1:24,000, encompassing 169 flight lines covering 2,290 miles of shoreline.
