Marine Biodiversity Observing Network (MBON)
Florida Keys National Marine Sanctuary (FKNMS)
Biodiversity is most simply defined as the number of different organisms or types of organisms that are found in a specific geographic region. However, the number of different organisms is not the only key to biodiversity since different ecosystems will vary not only in numbers of species but in the abundance and composition of their communities. In this sense it is the preservation of the characteristic biodiversity of an ecosystem that is important. Given the likelihood of growing pressures on resources due to climate change and societal problems in the future, one challenge is to establish an accurate biodiversity baseline by which we can monitor changes.
This map service serves as the FKNMS group’s online data repository for project planning associated with MBON. NOAA’s National Marine Sanctuaries system. NOAA-NOS-IOOS-2014-2003803. |
