As part of the humanitarian aid and as a response to the Haiti Earthquake disaster, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) and other hydrographic offices around the world have provided support to SHOH (Service Hydrographique et Oc\éanographique de Haiti) by training SHOH personnel, surveying key areas around Haiti and updating the charts. As part of the 2013 NOAA effort to support SHOH, a novel approach was used to evaluate shallow-waters in areas that were not surveyed in 2010. Commercial multispectral satellite imagery (Landsat 8 and Worldview 2) was used to derive bathymetry. This report reviews the satellite-derived bathymetry procedure and the results produced over the coastal waters of Haiti. The procedure was conducted using Geographic Information System (GIS) software (ArcMap 10.1). A step-by-step procedure is provided in the GEBCO Cook Book and in the Appendix of this report
