Description:
Abstract:
This GIS data set represents oyster coverage for available study areas in the state of Florida. Not all areas have been mapped, but this dataset represents the oyster data available to FWRI as of January, 2019. Source dates vary and many studies are much older than the compilation date. See the Source Information section for more details.
Purpose:
This GIS data set was created to represent oysters for general mapping purposes only. Different studies used different methodologies and not all areas have been mapped.
Supplemental_Information:
Data were provided from the following sources: Apalachicola National Estuarine Reserach Reserve, Research Planning, Inc., U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Suwannee River Water Management District, Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission, Palm Beach County, Scheda Ecological Associates, Inc and Rookery Bay National Estuarine Research Reserve, Northwest Florida Water Management District, Ibis Environmental, Inc., U.S. Geological Survey, South Florida Water Management District, Volety, A. and Savarese, M., Florida Gulf Coast University, University of New Hampshire and The Nature Conservancy, Loxahatchee River District, University of Central Florida, City of Naples, Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services, Sarasota County, St. Johns River Water Management District, Southwest Florida Water Management District, US Fish and Wildlife Service National Wetlands Inventory, FDEP Indian River Lagoon Aquatic Preserves, Smithsonian Marine Station.

Prior to July 1, 2004, the Fish and Wildlife Research Institute (FWRI) was known as the Florida Marine Research Institute (FMRI). The institute name has not been changed in historical data sets or references to work completed by the Florida Marine Research Institute. The institute name has been changed in references to ongoing research, new research, and contact information.

Oyster polygons coded 6540 were selected from this data set. The data were interpreted from 1:24,000 aerial photography. This data set only mapped oyster bars, oyster beds and oyster hash that make up the Waccasassa Reefs and Corrigan Reef. Other oyster bars within seagrass beds or tidal flats were not included. In areas overlapped by oyster polygons from the SRWMD landcover 2010-11, the more recent data were used. Citation: Suwannee River Water Management District. 2001b.

This data set gives oyster polygons in the Panhandle and Big Bend areas, interpreted from 1:24,000 natural color aerial photography. It is not an exhaustive mapping effort of oysters, as oysters were only mapped in areas where seagrass was also mapped. There are local areas where more recent mapping efforts have been completed. This data set was used only in areas where no more recent data were available. Citation: U.S. Geological Survey. 1992. Northeastern Gulf of Mexico seagrass mapping project.

This data set includes the location and coverage area of most major oyster reefs within the Sebastian River. Each oyster reef was mapped using Real-Time Kinematic GPS (RTK GPS). Transect surveys were conducted at 1-m intervals across the face of the reef, perpendicular to the long-axis of the reef and extending from border to border. The latitude, longitude and height (elevation) data for each 1-m interval were collected using the RTK GPS rover unit. No data points were taken outside the perimeter of the reef.
There were several small polygons that were DISSOLVEd by FWRI to remove overlap.
Percent live/dead was recorded in the source data. A polygon is classified as a live bed if any live oysters were found within it.

This is a polygon file containing data for an oyster survey conducted in fall 2003 in the St. Lucie Estuary, Florida. Oyster bed perimeter was mapped using GPS. No oysters were mapped in channel areas greater than 8 feet deep since initial grid-based surveys did not find evidence of oysters at that depth. LIVE_BED attribute indicated whether a bed was live or not and this was translated into the OYSTER attribute. In areas of overlap with 2011 SFWMD data, the more recent data were used.

These data are from the Gulf States Marine Fisheries report "The Oyster Fishery of The Gulf of Mexico United States: A Regional Management Plan". These polygons are used in the Panhandle estuaries. Note: A set of hand-drawn oyster maps were created by FDACS personnel for the panhandle using NOAA navigation charts and verified in survey and monitoring efforts. These maps were then digitized by FWC to create the FDACS 2009 – 2010 dataset. While a report is not available regarding the methodology for the creation of these maps, these oyster maps were published in Section 17 of the Gulf States Marine Fisheries Commission Regional Management Plan (VanderKooy 2012).

Process_Step:
Process_Description:
Oyster polygons were selected from the source data sets. Each file was given new attributes to classify based on its source data set and the date of the source data, as well as a generic DESCRIPT attribute to indicate that each polygon represents "Oyster".
In areas where source files overlapped, the newest data was used. The "oysters_apalachbay_2006", "benthic_srwmd_2001", and "oysters_big_bend" data sets overlapped the "oysters_nw_fl_1992" data set so their extent was ERASEd from the 1992 dataset. Extent footprints for "benthic_srwmd_2001" and "oysters_big_bend" were estimated based on the description of the study area given by Suwannee River Water Management District since these files only represented oysters, not the full bounding box of the project. Along the northern and southern edges of the study areas, polygons from the "oysters_nw_fl_1992" were preserved if it was unclear whether or not the area had been included in the SRWMD studies.
The following data sets contained some small overlaps within the source files: "oysters_tampabay", "oysters_Loxahatchee_Rv_2004", and "oysters_sebastian_2006_poly". These overlaps were eliminated by a DISSOLVE of the full data set.
The data set was loaded into ArcSDE.
