- Abstract:
-
Acropora palmata (Elkhorn coral) and Acropora cervicornis (Staghorn coral) are two federally threatened species under the endangered species act, as such the known locations of these species are considered either priority protection level "A" or level "B" depending on depth. Priority "A" sites are < 3 m water depth and Priority "B" sites are > 3 m. In order to better display the extensive point location data for Acropora spp., inclusive polygon sites were created by clumping single points together based on proximity depth. Point locations for Acropora palmate and Acropora cervicornis were download from <http://ocean.floridamarine.org/NOAA_Acropora/> and buffered. For the northern part of the reef tract (Fowey Rocks and north) a 20 meter buffer was applied around each of the points. For the southern part (Keys and Dry Tortugas – Fowey Rocks and south/west) a 55 meter buffer was applied. Once the buffers were applied polygons were drawn around clusters and singular buffered points. The sites were also given an ID number and were named if in proximity to any known geographic features (e.g. common reef name). New sites were not created for Acropora spp. locations if they were within an existing Florida Keys National Marine Sanctuary (FKNMS), Sanctuary Preservation Area (SPA) or other priority protection level "A" or "B" area.
- Purpose:
-
These clumped priority sites were used to clearly display their locations on the Sector Miami, Sector Key West and Sector San Juan Geographic Response Plan Maps. Single point data on the presence of Acropora spp. was too abundant, which displayed the points as indistinguishable from each other using the threatened coral symbology. Instead of placing the large number of single points on the map, the presence data were represented as a small black dot within the larger priority site. This technique allows visual inspection of the sites and prioritizes the site as a group sharing a common depth.
- 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.
