Data were collected in partnership with the NOAA Office for Coastal Management (formerly the Coastal Services Center) following the guidelines detailed by the NOAA Coastal Change Analysis Program (C-CAP). Each regions's data is held in a separate subdirectory within this dataset. These GIS benthic data vary in type and attributes depending on the purpose of the study for each region as follows - Apalachicola Bay, sediment profiling data and benthic community information gathered from grab sampling, Dry Tortugas, RoxAnn single-beam acoustic surveys which were part of a larger biogeographic characterization effort intended to characterize benthic habitats and ocean circulation patterns in the newly established Tortugas Ecological Reserve, Florida Bay, habitat polygons developed from National Geodetic Survey aerial photography according to NOAA Coastal Change Analysis Program (C-CAP) protocol, and Indian River Lagoon, mapping SAV beds and benthic habitat according to C-CAP protocol. Each set of benthic data was developed according to protocols described in the associated FGDC metadata for each regional study. A generalized browse graphic was generated at the NODC for each region and included with these data. This dataset is available to the public for a wide variety of uses including scientific research and analysis. completed historicalArchive NOAA National Centers for Environmental Information ncei.info@noaa.gov https://www.ncei.noaa.gov/contact HTTPS NCEI Contact Information Information for contacts at NCEI. information pointOfContact asNeeded https://www.ncei.noaa.gov/access/metadata/landing-page/bin/gfx?id=gov.noaa.nodc:0001045 Preview graphic PNG 0001045 NCEI ACCESSION NUMBER 2012-05-11 publication BENTHIC COMMUNITIES BENTHIC SPECIES biological data BOTTOM TYPE CORAL HABITAT HABITAT - BENTHIC MACROALGAE PLANT COVER SEA GRASSES - DENSITY SEDIMENTS SHORELINE SPECIES IDENTIFICATION SUBSTRATE DESCRIPTION theme NODC DATA TYPES THESAURUS acoustic sensor camera photograph sediment sampler - grab visual analysis instrument NODC INSTRUMENT TYPES THESAURUS benthic biological composition & location derived products GIS product survey survey - biological survey - coral reef theme NODC OBSERVATION TYPES THESAURUS NOAA National Ocean Service dataCentre NODC COLLECTING INSTITUTION NAMES THESAURUS US DOC/NOAA/NOS/Coastal Services Center dataCentre NODC SUBMITTING INSTITUTION NAMES THESAURUS COASTAL Coral Reef Information System (CoRIS) CORAL REEF STUDIES project NODC PROJECT NAMES THESAURUS Coastal Waters of Florida Coastal Waters of Gulf of Mexico Florida Bay - Florida Florida Keys National Marine Sanctuary Gulf of Mexico Indian River - Florida North American Coastline-South North Atlantic Ocean place NODC SEA AREA NAMES THESAURUS oceanography theme WMO_CategoryCode 2012-09-15 publication DOC/NOAA/NESDIS/NODC > National Oceanographic Data Center, NESDIS, NOAA, U.S. Department of Commerce DOC/NOAA/NOS > National Ocean Service, NOAA, U.S. Department of Commerce DOC/NOAA/NOS/CSC > Coastal Services Center, National Ocean Service, NOAA, U.S. Department of Commerce dataCentre Global Change Master Directory (GCMD) Data Center Keywords 2026 revision 24 Earth Science Data and Information System, Earth Science Projects Division, Goddard Space Flight Center (GSFC), National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Greenbelt MD https://forum.earthdata.nasa.gov/app.php/tag/GCMD%2BKeywords HTTPS GCMD Keyword Forum Page Global Change Master Directory (GCMD). 2025.
