| Title: | Acropora Spatial Survey Data of the Upper Florida Keys National Marine Sanctuary, 2005 - 2007 (NODC Accession 0046934) |
|---|
| Abstract: | 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. |
