Description: This shapefile is all seagrass habitat mapped in the region and is a combination of the most recent SE FL benthic habitat maps. The nearshore has been updated according to Walker and Klug 2014 and combined with all previous mapping efforts. The SE FL nearshore benthic habitats were mapped using the same combined technique approach as described in Walker, Riegl, and Dodge (2008). Polygons were created by outlining and defining the features at a 1:1,000 scale and minimum mapping unit of 0.1 ha within recent aerial photography and high resolution bathymetric survey data. Southeast Florida benthic habitat maps were produced by delineating seafloor features evident in multiple datasets including the GMR Aerial Surveys, Inc. dba Photo Scienceimagery collected for this purpose on March 8, 2013, 2008 Broward lidar, and 2009 NOAA bathymetry. This dataset built upon previous regional mapping efforts by Dr. Brian Walker at Nova Southeastern University. The habitats were classified according to established NOAA guidelines in coordination with the NOS Coral Mapping Program and use a similar classification scheme when possible.

Thank you to Florida Department of Environmental Protection Southeast Office of Coastal and Aquatic Managed Areas, the U.S. Department of Commerce, National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) Coastal Services Center, and the South Florida Coral Reef Initiative for supporting this effort. Thanks to NOAA Office of Coast Survey, Broward County Natural Resources Planning and Management Division, and Coastal Planning and Engineering for supplying the LIDAR data. We especially would like to thank Amanda Costaregni and Ian Rodericks of the Nova Southeastern University Oceanographic Center (NSUOC) Geographic Information Systems and Spatial Ecology lab and Dr. David Gilliam and his NSUOC Coral Reef Restoration, Assessment & Monitoring Lab, for the many hours spent underwater to aid in the completion of data collection for this project, including Nicole D’Antonio, Ariel Halperin, Chuck Walton, Kathryn Binder, Cody Bliss, Lystina Kabay, Mauricio Lopez Padierna, and Daniel Fahy. A final thank you to Captain Lance Robinson and Brian Buskirk for providing reliable vessels for our many field days.
