Description: This dataset contains NOAA designated Essential Fish Habitat (EFH) surrounding the State of Florida. Essential Fish Habitat are those areas that have been identified and described by species and lifestage. Fish require healthy surroundings to survive and reproduce. Essential fish haitat includes all types of aquatic habitat - wetlands, coral reefs, sea-grasses, rivers - where fish spawn, breed, feed, or growh to maturity. EFH Mapper Data is a combination of three existing data layers: Essential Fish Habitat (EFH), Habitat Areas of Particular Concern (HAPC) and EFH Areas Protected from Fishing (EFHA).

Description: The MPA Inventory is a comprehensive catalog that provides detailed information for existing marine protected areas in the United States. The inventory provides geospatial boundary information (in polygon format) and classification attributes that seek to define the conservation objectives, protection level, governance and related management criteria for all sites in the database. The comprehensive inventory of federal, state and territorial MPA sites provides governments and stakeholders with access to information to make better decisions about the current and future use of place-based conservation. The information also will be used to inform the development of the national system of marine protected areas as required by Executive Order 13158.
Description: This dataset contains the geographic extent of the Submerged Lands Act as it applies to the coastal regions of the State of Florida. The Submerged Lands Act (43 U.S.C. §§ 1301 et seq.) grants coastal states title to natural resources located within their coastal submerged lands and navigable waters out to three geographical miles from their coastlines (three marine leagues for Texas and Florida’s Gulf of Mexico coastlines). The Submerged Lands Act defines “natural resources” to include oil, gas, and all other minerals, and fish, shrimp, oysters, clams, crabs, lobsters, sponges, kelp, and other marine animal and plant life,” yet expressly excludes “water power, or the use of water for the production of power” 43 U.S.C. § 1301(e). The term “coast line” is “the line of ordinary low water along that portion of the coast which is in direct contact with the open sea and the line marking the seaward limit of inland waters” (43 U.S.C. § 1301(c)). Some boundary delineations are approximated, including areas in Hawaii, Alaska, and Washington State. The official delineation of the Submerged Lands Act in these locations has not yet been established by BOEM. Please reference BOEM’s official Submerged Lands Act Boundary in these locations to determine where this boundary is approximated and where it is official. - Source: https://www.gpo.gov/fdsys/pkg/USCODE-2011-title43/pdf/USCODE-2011-title43-chap29.pdf - Date Enacted: May 22, 1953 - Codification: 43 U.S.C. Sec. 1301 et seq. - Authority: agencies of several U.S. coastal states. When investigating geo-regulatory boundaries near the boundary edges, users should consult the most up-to-date applicable jurisdictional boundaries from all respective authoritative sources.
Description: This is a final classification. It is ready for distribution. This data set is the 2016-era classification of U.S. Florida region. This data set utilized full or partial Landsat scenes which were analyzed according to the Coastal Change Analysis Program (C-CAP) protocol to determine land cover.
The NOAA Coastal Change Analysis Program (C-CAP) produces national standardized land cover and change products for the coastal regions of the U.S. C-CAP products inventory coastal intertidal areas, wetlands, and adjacent uplands with the goal of monitoring changes in these habitats, on a one-to-five year repeat cycle. The timeframe for this metadata is reported as 2016-Era, but the actual dates of the Landsat imagery used to create the land cover may have been acquired a few years before or after each era. These maps are developed utilizing Landsat Thematic Mapper imagery, and can be used to track changes in the landscape through time. This trend information gives important feedback to managers on the success or failure of management policies and programs and aid in developing a scientific understanding of the Earth system and its response to natural and human-induced changes. This understanding allows for the prediction of impacts due to these changes and the assessment of their cumulative effects, helping coastal resource managers make more informed regional decisions. NOAA C-CAP is a contributing member to the Multi-Resolution Land Characteristics consortium and C-CAP products are included as the coastal expression of land cover within the National Land Cover Database.
