Acropora Spatial Survey Data of the Upper Florida Keys National Marine Sanctuary, 2005 - 2007 (NCEI Accession 0046934)

Published by NOAA National Centers for Environmental Information | National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, Department of Commerce | Catalog Last Checked: August 03, 2026 at 01:42 AM | Dataset Last Updated: October 29, 2008 at 12:00 AM
These data were collected by the NOAA Southeast Fisheries Science Center to document the presence or absence of Acropora spp at shallow reef sites in the Upper Florida Keys (USA). The presence or absence of acroporid corals was marked by handheld GPS during snorkel or tow surveys of shallow water (<5m) reef habitats in the Upper Florida Keys National Marine Sanctuary. The data are in GIS shape and layer files with associated attribute files, metadata files, and additional .pdf file outputs of the GIS data layers.
