Lineage Ground truth points were added on the basis of local knowledge of the islands. Generally the points were added to the file after fieldworks. GPS location of the points was not taken as the project requiring the broad scale habitat map did not include time and money for carrying out a full field survey. However, despite the lack of GPS location the accuracy of the matching between points and satellite imagery is rated medium to high.
