The routine assessment and monitoring of aquatic habitat characteristics, such as submerged aquatic vegetation (SAV), is a fundamental tool in fisheries management. The relative low cost and availability of recreation-grade side-scan sonar (SSS) systems has made capturing high-resolution (<10 cm) underwater imagery a practical and viable tool for improving these assessments. Using Humminbird SSS and a boat-mounted transducer, we determined our ability to produce classified maps of SAV within three reservoirs in Texas. Sonar recordings of photic zone habitat were collected and processed into georeferenced mosaic images by using SonarTRX SSS software for use in geographical information systems (GISs). The resulting raster images were interpreted to identify and map SAV, and a classification scheme was developed. Random-point data was also used to develop a traditional error matrix and an accuracy assessment for each classified map. In the three reservoirs, 485 ha were classified, including 298 ha of SAV. The area estimates for 11 of 12 classes fell within the 95% CIs that were estimated from concurrent random-point surveys. Overall classification accuracy ranged from 78% to 88% for the three reservoirs. The methods that were developed demonstrate an accurate procedure for calculating SAV coverage and producing a high-quality map product for distribution to stakeholders.
