Description:
Abstract:
This polygon GIS data set represents a compilation of statewide seagrass data from various source agencies and scales. The data were mapped from sources ranging in date from 1987 to 2017. Not all data in this compilation are mapped from photography; some are the results of field measurements. See the "Sources" section for more information.
The original source data sets were not all classified in the same manner; some used the Florida Land Use Cover and Forms Classification System (FLUCCS) codes 9113 for discontinuous seagrass and 9116 for continuous seagrass; some defined only presence and absence of seagrass, and some defined varying degrees of seagrass percent cover. In order to merge all of these data sources into one compilation data set, FWRI reclassified the various source data attribute schemes into two categories: "Continuous Seagrass" and "Patchy (Discontinuous) Seagrass". In areas where studies overlap, the most recent study where a given area has been interpreted is represented in this data set.
This data set is not comparable to previous statewide data sets for time series studies - not all areas have been updated since the previous statewide compilation and some areas previously not mapped are now included. Please contact GIS Librarian to request the source data if you need to do a time series comparison.
This data set has been updated in several areas from the previous compilation, including Naples Bay (2007), Choctawhatchee Bay (2007) and the Florida Panhandle (2010), Florida Bay (2010), portions of the Caloosahatchee, Loxahatchee, and St. Lucie Rivers (2011), Lake Worth Lagoon (2013), Rookery Bay (2014), Estero Bay and the West Coast (2014), Indian River Lagoon (2017), the Springs Coast (2016) and Southwest Florida (2016). Version 2 of the Unified Florida Reef Tract Map, with seagrass data ranging in source date from 2004-2015, has also been integrated into this compilation to represent the most recent data available from St. Lucie County to the Dry Tortugas in Florida Keys.
Purpose:
This GIS data set was developed to represent the most recent seagrass mapping available in Florida for current statewide display and analysis. Not all areas have been mapped. This data set includes areas that were not previously mapped in other statewide compilations. This data set is not appropriate for time series comparisons to previous statewide compilations.
Supplemental_Information:
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.
These data are for statewide mapping and analysis only. The original regional data sets may contain more detailed seagrass attribution schemes. Contact GIS Librarian to request the source data sets.

Attribute_Accuracy_Report:
Attributes are accurate as reclassification of source data. See "Source Information" and "Process Step" sections for methods of reclassification.
Logical_Consistency_Report:
These data appear logically consistent. Geodatabase topology was run to detect overlapping polygons - none are present. Polygons with area less than 1 square meter were removed. Some slivers may be present.
Completeness_Report:
These data are complete as of data available to FWRI in September 2018. The study areas for the source data varied. With the exception of the Springs Coast mapped in 2016, offshore data have not been mapped to any consistent distance or depth statewide.
Broward and Collier counties are included; however, these counties were mapped using field measurements, rather than complete aerial photography, so additional unmapped seagrass may still be present within these counties. Additional data gaps may be present. Contact GIS Librarian to request extent of mapping.

The data were originally classified using the National Wetlands Research Center derived classification scheme based on the C-CAP Coastal Land Cover Classificaiton system of NOAA Coastwatch Change Analysis Project. The seagrass coverage is broken down into five different percent of seagrass coverage categories including: CSG-Continuous seagrass, 90% or more ground cover; PSG1-Patchy seagrass, 10% or less ground cover; PSG2-Patchy seagrass, 15% to 40% ground cover; PSG3-Patchy seagrass, 45% to 70% ground cover; PSG4-Patchy seagrass, 75% to 85% ground cover. Data were reclassified as follows: CSG was reclassified as "Continuous Seagrass"; PSG1, PSG2, PSG3, and PSG4 were reclassified as "Patchy (Discontinuous) Seagrass".

This is the most recent dataset for the Florida Panhandle region, but where this data overlapped with seagrass_Gulf_Islands_National_Seashore_NPS_2011, the more recent data was used. In the area of Santa Rosa Sound, this dataset only extends to areas west of Navarre Beach Causeway. For the area east of the Causeway, data from seagrass_santarosa_2001_H and seagrass_santarosa_2003 were preserved. Please note that the imagery upon which this data set was based was acquired in less than ideal conditions: at high tide and with some turbidity. Therefore, this dataset may differ from data taken at low tide and with more clarity. The data were reclassified as follows: 9116 (Continuous Seagrass) was reclassifieda as "Continuous"; 9113 (Discontinuous Seagrass) was reclassified as "Patchy (Discontinuous) Seagrass".

This the most recent dataset for Florida Bay. The data were originally classified using "Habitat Classification Categories for Florida Bay Benthic Habitat Mapping - 2004/2005, Version 3-23-05". This classification is an adaptation from Florida SCHEME (System for Classification of Habitats in Estuarine and Marine Environments), FWC. The data were reclassified as follows: 211 "Continuous SRV" and 211cc "Continuous SRV, Bank" were reclassified as "Continuous"; 212 "Patchy SRV" and 212cc "Patchy SRV, Bank" were reclassified as "Patchy (Discontinuous) Seagrass".

This dataset is the most recent available for Lake Worth Lagoon. However, the survey upon which the data is based was limited to those locations where seagrass was mapped in 2007 and may have excluded some areas of seagrass expansion. Where overlap with seagrass_Indian_River_Lagoon_2015 occurs, the more recent data were used. The data was originally classified based on Braun-Blanquet (BB) scores of 0 to 5. Data were reclassified as follows: Scores of 0.01 – 2 were reclassified as “Patchy (Discontinuous) Seagrass”; Scores of 2.01 – 5 were reclassified as “Continuous Seagrass”.

Source_Contribution:
The Rookery Bay National Estuarine Research Reserve (RBNERR) received a grant for a three-year project to help local communities manage freshwater flows in the Rookery Bay Estuary. In an effort to understand changes to the Rookery Bay estuary, Scheda Ecological Associates, Inc. (Scheda) scientists performed a literature review and an analysis of available historic aerial imagery to assess the potential of documenting changes in estuarine habitats over time. Benthic features were interpreted from natural color aerial photography flown in December 2014. Photo-interpretation was conducted using heads up (interpreting imagery on a computer screen) photogrammetric techniques and digital photogrammetric workstations were utilized for direct capture of digital data in an ArcGIS geo-database. Features were classified using modified codes from the Florida Land Use Land Cover Classification System (FLUCCS). The data was reclassified as follows: 9116 (Continuous Seagrass) was reclassified as "Continuous Seagrass"; 9113 (Discontinuous Seagrass) was reclassified as "Patchy (Discontinuous) Seagrass".

In areas where this data set overlaps with benthic_south_fl, seagrass_swcoast_1987, and seagrass_FLBay_2010_ENP, those data sets were used, with the exception of areas within Florida Bay that were uninterpretable in 2004 and 2010 due to turbidity.
This data set was originally classified using the Florida System for Classification of Habitats and Marine Environments (SCHEME). Codes were reclassified as follows:
211 (Continuous SRV) and 211cc (Continuous SRV, bank) were classified as "Continuous Seagrass"; 212 (Discontinuous SRV) and 212cc (Discontinuous SRV, bank) were classified as "Patchy (Discontinuous) Seagrass".
Process_Step:
Process_Description:
FWRI staff added four attributes to each data set:
SEAGRASS - indicates "continuous" or "discontinuous". If a seagrass data set only indicated presence/absence this attribute defaulted to discontinuous. SOURCEDATE - year(s) of photography. Also indicates if date is unknown or if the polygon was not interpreted from photography. METADATA - the information in this field will be populated with a link to the metadata for the source data set that the polygon came from once the source metadata is online. Currently it is the source data set name used as a placeholder. DESCRIPT - standardized name field for labeling maps. Values include "Continuous Seagrass", or "Discontinuous Seagrass".
Staff used the most recent information for an area. Staff determined the most recent information by creating footprints of all source polygons, minus any large land polygons and uninterpreted areas. Staff used these footprints with the ArcGIS Toolbox command "erase" to eliminate areas of overlap from older source data sets. In some areas the exclusion of shoreline resulted in sliver polygons due to different studies using different shorelines. Staff manually deleted these slivers after the "erase", defaulting to the more recent shoreline coverage.
Once all the data were properly "erased", staff loaded all of the data into a single geodatabase feature class. Running a topology resulted in no overlaps. If an area was uninterpreted within a more recent study, but interpreted in an older study, then the older study was used.
Sliver polygons less than one square meter were deleted. Any additional slivers are either due to preserving the "Source" attribute or they were present in the original source data sets.
