- Abstract:
-
Essential Fish Habitiat (EFH) that is judged to be particularly important to the long-term productivity of populations of one or more managed species, or to be particularly vulnerable to degradation, should be identified as "habitat areas of particular concern" (HAPC) to help provide additional focus for conservation efforts. As a result of the Sustainable Fisheries Act Amendment to the Magnuson-Stevens Fishery Conservation and Management Act in 1996 the Councils and the NMFS have been mandated to use an ecosystem approach in managing the Nation's Fisheries. The Council has taken the first step with the approval of the Habitat Plan identifying and describing in detail essential fish habitat (EFH) for species managed throughout the South Atlantic and with the approval of the Comprehensive Habitat Amendment amending all existing FMPs to include descriptions of EFH and EFH-habitat areas of particular concern (EFH-HAPCs).
- Purpose:
-
The spatial representation of areas which for Coral, Coral Reef and Live_Hard Bottom ranked high in terms of ecological function, sensitivity, probability of stressor introduction, and/or criteria established for designation of Essential Fish Habitat-Habitat Areas of Particular Concern (EFH-HAPC). This layer is not considered complete at this date. We anticpate enhancing this file, as more data becomes available.
- Supplemental_Information:
-
Prior to July 1, 2004, the Fish and Wildlife Research Institute (FWRI) was known as the Florida Marine Research Institute (FMRI). The institute name has not been changed in historical data sets or references to work completed by the Florida Marine Research Institute. The institute name has been changed in references to ongoing research, new research, and contact information.

Several datasets were assembled during 2005 using ArcGIS "merge" functionality including:
--Biscayne Bay (covers the generally accepted extent of Biscayne Bay including, but not limited to, Biscayne National Park Card Sound, Little Card Sound, Barnes Sound, and Manatee Bay).
Originator: Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC), Fish and Wildlife Research Institute (FWRI), Information Science and Management (IS&M), Center for Spatial Analysis (CSA)
Publication_Date: 2005;
--Biscayne Bay National Park
Originator: National Parks Service (NPS) ;
--Florida Keys National Marine Sanctuary (generated from latitude and longitude coordinates in degrees, minutes, and seconds as given in the Federal Register).

Publication_Date: 2001;
--Grays Reef National Marine Sanctuary (created as part of the Protected Areas Geographic Information System (PAGIS) project.
