Distribution of Benthic Habitats at Crocker Reef, Florida, 2014

Published by U.S. Geological Survey | Department of the Interior | Catalog Last Checked: August 01, 2026 at 04:15 AM | Dataset Last Updated: October 13, 2020 at 12:00 AM
The distribution of benthic habitats for a 1-kilometer (km) x 1-km area around Crocker Reef in the Florida Keys, USA, is based upon underwater digital images of the seafloor collected on June 24 and 25, 2014 (Zawada and others, 2016). The imagery was collected using the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) shallow Along-Track Reef-Imaging System (sATRIS), a boat-based, pole-mounted sensor package for mapping shallow-water benthic environments. The polygons contained in the shapefile included in this data release, Habitat.shp, represent the four general habitat types found at Crocker Reef: hardbottom, rubble, sand, and seagrass.
