- Abstract:
-
This merged dataset represents the Essential Fish Habitats of Shrimp as described in Final Habitat Plan for the South Atlantic Region: Essential Fish Habitiat Requirements for Fishery Management Plans of the South Atlantic Fishery Management Council, The Shrimp Fishery Management Plan, The Red Drum Fishery Management Plan, The Snapper Grouper Fishery Management Plan, The Coastal Migratory Pelagics Fishery Management Plan, The Golden Crab Fishery Management Plan, The Spiny Lobster Fishery Management Plan, The Coral, Coral Reefs, and Live/Hard Bottom Habitat Fishery Management Plan, and the Calico Scallop Fishery Management Plan (October 1998).
The particular components included in this assembled dataset include:
Estuarine Emergent Wetlands of FL, GA, SC, NC;
Estuarine Scrub/Shrub Wetlands of FL, GA, SC, NC;
Sand between 20-200M;
Silt between 200-800M;
Seagrass in FL;
Sub-Aquatic Vegetation in NC;
Shelf Currents near Cape Canaveral;
the Gulf Stream off the SE US Atlantic coast.
- Purpose:
-
This dataset was assembled in support of ongoing South Atlantic Fishery Management Council (SAFMC) imternet mapping service (IMS) efforts in association with the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC), Fish and Wildlife Research Institute (FWRI)
- 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.

- Process_Description:
-
8 different datasets of varied sources were assembled using the "merge" tool within ArcGIS 9.2. This merged dataset was then modified with the removal of vast quantities of attribute fields of widely varying specificity and purpose. The dataset was then processed using the "Dissolve" tool based on the "ITEM" field resulting in a more simplified attribute table.
