Layer: Recreational Fishing and Diving Activity Overlap (ID: 147)

Parent Layer: 1OFR Survey

Name: Recreational Fishing and Diving Activity Overlap

Display Field: UniqueID

Type: Feature Layer

Geometry Type: esriGeometryPolygon

Description: The Our Florida Reefs survey collected data on how and where southeast Florida’s coral reefs are being visited by residents and guests. All survey participants’ data have been combined to create maps that show a summary of where people are visiting the reefs, what activities they are participating in, and how often those areas are visited. The survey used a non-probability based “Opt-In” sample methodology that engaged ocean and coastal recreation stakeholders by deploying targeted outreach strategies to solicit participation in an opt-in method of data collection. Respondents were asked to provide information and map their coastal and ocean recreation activities from the last 12 months. Collecting data using an internet “opt-in” mode provides many advantages. It gathers data from populations that are not well defined and in which a robust probability based sample cannot be developed or feasibly collected. It provides a participatory approach and engages and builds stakeholder investment. It also provides the ability to collect data and obtain larger sample sizes from specific user groups (e.g. SCUBA divers, kayakers, etc.) that are difficult to adequately capture in general population surveys. Lastly, it increases the likelihood that stakeholders will trust the survey results and therefore accept their use in policy-making processes. Based on this opt-in method, the data could not be extrapolated to the general population, however it provides spatial data on many activities, as well as activity participation rates, and average expenditure profiles. Maps depicting spatial patterns of use (extent and intensity of use) for specific coastal recreational activities were created. These maps are aggregated into activity groupings requested by the Community Working Group members to help facilitate their use in planning and policy contexts. The final activity groupings are boating, recreational fishing, SCUBA diving, spearfishing, extractive diving, and water sports. This overlap layer was created to show locations where both fishers and divers frequented and the estimated intensity of this overlap. This layer only contains planning units where both fishing and diving were reported. The number of visits for each activity were used to determine whether it was high fishing, high diving or nearly equal. The high fishing bin includes values from -190 to -21, the moderate fishing bin includes values from -20 to -6, the equal fishing and diving bin includes values from -5 to 5, the moderate diving bin includes values from 6 to 200, and the high diving bin includes values from 201 to 643.
