1 GIS-based River Habitat Mapping in the Obed Wild and Scenic River Paul Ayers, University of Tennessee Use kayak-mounted underwater videomapping system Develop river habitat maps at OBRI from: –Barnett Bridge to Nemo (Clear Creek/Obed/Emory) Other underwater videomapping projects with NPS

2 GPS-Instrumented Kayak Acquires Georeferenced above and below water video and depth sonar

3 Geo-referenced Image Recording Media- Mapper Audio output (GPS output) Audio Input (GPS input) Rear Front GPS Video input Splash Cam DVD Recorder GPS NMEA Data (ASCII)

4 Georeferenced Underwater Image

5 Using underwater lasers to determine depth and scale (dot spacing is 7.75 inches) 1.5 to 2.5 ft < 1.5 ft

6 Kayaking Clear Creek

7 Riffle Run Pool River Characteristics

8 Full Extent: River Characteristics Clear Creek (Lily to Canoe Hole)

9 Substrate Classification

10 Full Extent: Substrate Determinations Clear Creek (Lily to Canoe Hole)

11 Endangered Species Habitat Maps Spotfin Chub Dusktail Darter Cumberland Elktoe Cumberland Bean Cumberlandian Combshell Tan Riffleshell Littlewing Pearlymussel

12 Ideal Habitat: Spotfin Chub (Erimonax Monachus) River Characteristic: Run Depth: <1.5 ft Substrate: Bedrock/fines & Boulder

13 Other Projects: BISO River Habitat Mapping (Canoe and Kayak) Endangered Mussel Habitat
