Title: Dolphin and Wahoo EFH
Geospatial_Data_Presentation_Form: vector digital data
Description:
Abstract:
This merged dataset represents the Essential Fish Habitats of Dolphin and Wahoo. EFH for dolphin and wahoo is the Gulf Stream, Charleston Gyre, Florida Current, and pelagic Sargassum. This EFH definition for dolphin was approved by the Secretary of Commerce on June 3, 1999 as a part of the South Atlantic Council's Comprehensive Habitat Amendment. The particular components included in this assembled dataset include: the Gulf Stream, Charleston Gyre, and Florida Current.
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. The institute name has been changed in references to ongoing research, new research, and contact information.
