- Abstract:
-
The Unified Florida Reef Tract Map (Unified Reef Map) provides a consistent
geospatial framework for management, monitoring, and characterization of the
Florida reef tract from Martin County to the Dry Tortugas. The Unified Reef Map
integrates existing benthic habitat maps of Martin, Palm Beach, Broward, and Miami
Counties, Biscayne National Park, Florida Bay, and the Florida Keys, including the
Dry Tortugas. This map of the seafloor uses a Unified Classification (UC) system to
provide a common and consistent picture of the entire area while retaining the
original detailed information specific to different source maps. The UC contains five
levels of seafloor classification detail providing flexibility in the scope of analysis. UC
Level 0 is the coarsest classification level that provides a consistent view of the
entire area. UC Level 4 retains full seafloor description details from source maps
which are not necessarily consistent for all areas. Where mapping projects spatially
overlap, data are edited to create a seamless and consistent transition. Existing
seafloor classification values are also cross-walked to the Coastal and Marine
Ecological Classification Standard (CMECS).
- Purpose:
-
The purpose of this map product is to provide a seamless spatial representation of
the Florida Keys Reef Tract and surrounding area benthos with a classification
system that unifies the various source classification schemes while retaining the
original information. Individual source maps cross-walked to the unified classification
without spatial edits (retaining overlap and unmatched seams) are also available.
Please refer to the technical report accompanying this dataset for detailed
information and dataset use recommendations.
- 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.

This is a final draft of the Hawk Channel benthic map. Accuracy Assessment is planned to be completed next year. Benthic type was interpreted using side-scan sonar and LiDAR reflectance and relative depth data. WorldView-2 satellite imagery and aerial photography were also used to aid in classification. Polygons were heads up digitized into a Geodatabase using ArcMap 10.2. In situ observations were used to inform photo interpretation.

NAD_1983_To_HARN_Florida transformation
- Add DESCRIPT field based on ClassLv0 (the most
general thematic classification level)
- Add FGDLAQDATE based on date GeoPlan downloaded the data
- Uppercased all fields
- Changed name from UnifiedFloridaReefTract_poly to reef_tract_sep14

The Florida Geographic Data Library is a collection of Geospatial Data
compiled by the University of Florida GeoPlan Center with support from
the Florida Department of Transportation. GIS data available in FGDL is
collected from various state, federal, and other agencies (data sources)
who are data stewards, producers, or publishers. The data available in
FGDL may not be the most current version of the data offered by the
data source. University of Florida GeoPlan Center makes no guarantees
about the currentness of the data and suggests that data users check
with the data source to see if more recent versions of the data exist.
Furthermore, the GIS data available in the FGDL are provided 'as is'.
The University of Florida GeoPlan Center makes no warranties, guaranties
or representations as to the truth, accuracy or completeness of the data
provided by the data sources. The University of Florida GeoPlan Center
makes no representations or warranties about the quality or suitability
of the materials, either expressly or implied, including but not limited
to any implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular
purpose, or non-infringement. The University of Florida GeoPlan Center
shall not be liable for any damages suffered as a result of using,
modifying, contributing or distributing the materials.
A note about data scale:
Scale is an important factor in data usage. Certain scale datasets
are not suitable for some project, analysis, or modeling purposes.
Please be sure you are using the best available data.
1:24000 scale datasets are recommended for projects that are at the
county level.
1:24000 data should NOT be used for high accuracy base mapping such
as property parcel boundaries.
1:100000 scale datasets are recommended for projects that are at the
multi-county or regional level.
1:125000 scale datasets are recommended for projects that are at the
regional or state level or larger.
Vector datasets with no defined scale or accuracy should be
considered suspect. Make sure you are familiar with your data
before using it for projects or analysis. Every effort has been
made to supply the user with data documentation. For additional
information, see the References section and the Data Source Contact
section of this documentation. For more information regarding
scale and accuracy, see our webpage at:
