Title: Coral and Hard Bottom Habitats Florida

Description:

Abstract:

This GIS data set represents coral and other hard bottom type data available to FWRI as of June 2009. The extent and resolution of source data sets varies. This is not intended to be a comprehensive survey - data gaps do exist. Sliver polygons also exist due to differences in overlapping study areas, as well as some present in the source data sets.
Worm and oyster reefs are not included in this compilation. See separate data sets for worm and oyster reefs.

Purpose:

This data set represents hardbottom areas that have been mapped in and around Florida.

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.

Source_Contribution:

"Hardbottom", "Hardbottom with Seagrass", "Patch Reef", and "Platform Margin Reef" polygons; as well as seagrass polygons identified as "Dense Pathces in a Matrix of Hardbottom" were selected from this data set. In areas of overlap with benthic_fktr_2004, benthic_biscayne_2005, or benthic_tortugas_2006; the other, more recent, data source was used. Although this data set also overlaps with benthic_flbay_2004, the focus of the Florida Bay study was seagrass mapping and some areas of hardbottom shown in the benthic_south_fl study were not reflected in the Florida Bay study. Therefore, benthic_south_fl, which focused on mapping hardbottom and coral, was used in the Florida Bay area as well.
"Patch Reef" and "Platform Margin Reef" were reclassified as "Coral Reef", with the exception of polygons with an A_CODE described as "Coral Patches in Bare Sand" or "Reef Rubble", which were not included in the compilation.

Process_Step:

Process_Description:

FWRI staff added four attributes to each data set: SOURCEDATE - year(s) of source photography. METADATA - the information in this field will be populated with a link to the metadata for the source data set that the polygon came from once the source metadata is online. Currently it is the source data set name that can be used to reference the source metadata. DESCRIPT - is the description of the polygon type as reclassified from the source data attributes (see Source Contributions).
Staff used the most recent information for an area. Staff determined the most recent information by creating footprints of all source polygons, minus any large land polygons and uninterpreted areas. Staff used these footprints with the ArcGIS Toolbox 9.3 command "erase" to eliminate areas of overlap from older source data sets.
In some areas the erase function resulted in sliver polygons due to different studies using different shorelines or study boundaries. Staff manually deleted these slivers after the "erase". Once all the data were "erased" in preparation, staff "merged" all of the data into a single geodatabase feature class.
Running a topology resulted in 14 overlaps, which were present in the SEAMAP source data. These overlaps were only slivers and were corrected in this compilation.
If an area was uninterpreted within a more recent study, but interpreted in an older study, then the older study was used.
Sliver polygons are present and are due to preserving the "Source" attribute, due to different mapped areas for overlapping studies, or they were present in the original source data sets.
