- Abstract:
- The word “synoptic” means presenting a general view of the whole. The current manatee synoptic survey is a count of manatees over a broad area. The Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC) uses these surveys to obtain a general count of manatees statewide. The FWC coordinates an interagency team that conducts the synoptic surveys from one to three times each year (weather permitting). The synoptic surveys are conducted in winter and cover all of the known wintering habitats of manatees in Florida. The survey is conducted to meet Florida state statute 370.12 (4), which requires an annual, impartial, scientific benchmark census of the manatee population. From 1991 through 2014, the counts have been conducted 28 times. These statewide, interagency surveys are currently conducted during the coldest weather of the year (January through March) when manatees move to warm-water sites, such as natural springs, thermal discharges from power and industrial plants, and deep canals. The ideal conditions for the current synoptic survey are cool weather, following a prolonged period of cold weather (usually following multiple cold fronts), low winds, and bright sunshine. Weather conditions and manatee behavior during the survey have a large effect on the synoptic counts. For that reason, the counts are used as indicators of relative abundance within a year and are not suitable for assessing long-term population trends. Counts can vary depending on whether it is warm or cold, sunny or cloudy, calm or windy. Manatees are more easily counted a few days after a cold front when it is slightly warmer, clear, and windless. A warming trend with sunny, windless conditions following cold weather increases the likelihood that manatees will be resting at the water's surface, where observers can easily spot them.
- Purpose:
- To obtain a general (minimum) count of manatees statewide.
- 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's name has not been changed in historical data sets or references to work completed by the Florida Marine Research Institute. The Institute's name has been changed in references to ongoing research, new research, and contact information.--

- Attribute_Accuracy_Report:
- Each survey team was supplied with a theoretical flight route as a guideline. Starting in 2004 and in 2005, the observers recorded their flight path by hand on a set of maps, which were digitized by FWC staff. Starting in 2006, the observers were responsible for recording the aircraft’s actual flight route using a GPS. The flight routes were downloaded as points and converted to a polyline. Beginning in 2009, flight paths were edited to exclude "off effort" segments were edited out (e.g., transit to and from the airport).
- Logical_Consistency_Report:
- QA/QC complete
- Completeness_Report:
- No flight paths are available for surveys prior to the 2004 survey. Starting in 2004 and in 2005, flight routes were digitized off of flight paths drawn onto a paper map set by the observers. From the synoptic year 2006 forward, flight routes are correct to the accuracy of the handheld GPS unit being used to record the location of the plane (potentially reaching <15m precision). Beginning in 2009, flight paths were edited to exclude "off effort" segments were edited out (e.g., transit to and from the airport). --2004: Complete. --2005: The flight routes for Duval County (ICW and St Johns River) and Kennedy Space Center were not recorded and are omitted from this shapefile. --2006: Complete. --2007: The flight routes for Broward, Charlotte, Miami-Dade, and Palm Beach Counties were not recorded and are omitted from this shapefile. The included flight routes include unsurveyed segments from take-off to the beginning of the survey and from the end of the survey to landing. --2008: No survey was flown. --2009: The flight routes for Brevard, Miami-Dade and Kennedy Space Center were not recorded and are omitted from this shapefile. The included flight routes have been edited to exclude unsurveyed segments from take-off to the beginning of the survey and from the end of the survey to landing. --2010: The flight routes for Duval (ICW), Brevard and Broward Counties were not recorded and are omitted from this shapefile. The included flight routes have been edited to exclude unsurveyed segments from take-off to the beginning of the survey and from the end of the survey to landing. --2011: The flight routes for Lee County, the northern portion of Miami-Dade County, Kennedy Space Center, Blue Springs and Warm Mineral Springs were not recorded and are omitted from this shapefile. The included flight routes have been edited to exclude unsurveyed segments from take-off to the beginning of the survey and from the end of the survey to landing. --2012: No survey flown. --2013: No survey flown. --2014: The flight routes for Manatee and Sarasota Counties were not recorded and are omitted from this shapefile. There are no tracks for the areas surveyed from land (Blue Springs, Warm Mineral Springs, Wakulla Springs, Silver Glen Springs, DeLeon Springs and Welaka Springs). The included flight routes have been edited to exclude unsurveyed segments from take-off to the beginning of the survey, during break (if applicable) and from the end of the survey to landing.

- Methodology_Description:
- No flight paths are available for synoptic surveys flown prior to 2004. Starting in 2004 and in 2005, flight routes were digitized off of flight paths drawn onto a paper map set by observers. From the synoptic year 2006 forward, flight routes were captured by handheld GPS units. Beginning in 2009, flight paths were edited to exclude "off effort" segments were edited out (e.g., transit to and from the airport).
- Process_Step:
- Process_Description:
- No flight paths are available for synoptic surveys flown prior to 2004. Starting in 2004 and in 2005, each survey team was supplied a map of their county/region. The maps provided contain the estimated flight paths that were hand drawn while in route. An observer in the aircraft was responsible for charting the aircraft's course and recording manatee sightings. Using ArcMap, heads up digitizing was used to transfer the hand drawn flight paths to a digital polyline. For QA/QC, printed versions of the digitized flight paths where distributed back to the individuals responsible for drawing the original path. Corrections were made on these maps and returned for digital updating/editing. A second edited edition of the maps was redistributed for final approval. Some additional edits where made at this time and then given the final approval by each surveying team. From the synoptic year 2006 forward, each survey team was provided a paper map set with a flight path that is to serve as a guide for the survey and a GPS unit to record the actual movements of the airplane. The GPS trackline was downloaded as points, converted to polylines, the GPS tracks were merged together to create a state-wide path line, segmented by the survey area. Starting with the 2009 synoptic survey, "off effort" segments were edited out (ie., transit to and from the airport) before the GPS tracks were merged.
