NCCOS mapping: seafloor mapping products for the Florida Keys National Marine Sanctuary from 2004-01-01 to 2019-09-22 (NCEI Accession 0170215)

Published by NOAA National Centers for Environmental Information | National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, Department of Commerce | Catalog Last Checked: August 27, 2026 at 08:28 PM | Dataset Last Updated: January 25, 2023 at 12:00 AM
This dataset is an inventory of seafloor mapping data from hydrographic multibeam sonar surveys and georeferenced benthic photographs and video clips, all collected in and around the Florida Keys National Marine Sanctuary (FKNMS). The multibeam data sets contain both bathymetric and backscatter data for the FKNMS and adjacent areas in the Atlantic Ocean, bounded to the North by the Florida Keys, and contain detailed surveys of various portions of FKNMS such as the Dry Tortugas and Tortugas Bank areas. Underwater video and photographs for ground validation were acquired during research cruises in the FKNMS. All of these datasets can be visualized online in the 2nd edition of the FKNMS Digital Atlas.
