(NODC Accession 0123059) 2014 publication 1 NOAA NCCOS (comp.)(original source:SCREAM - Steven Miller) originator NOAA - NCCOS Silver Spring MD publisher mapDigital Version 1 Using data collected from 1999 to 2009, the dataset includes species density of benthic octocorals collected from multiple habitat types across the south Florida shelf, inside and outside of the no-take management zones, and throughout the Florida Keys from south of Miami to the Dry Tortugas. The data set documents the octocoral species density and changes over time of benthic coral reef organisms in the region. The data were collected during synoptic broad-scale surveys of coral reef and hard-bottom habitats that were stratified into sub-regions or along-shelf positions (e.g., Biscayne, Upper, Lower and Middle Keys, and the Dry Tortugas), resource management zones (e.g., FKNMS no-take zones and reference areas, and National Parks), and various habitat types (e.g., patch reefs, low relief hard-bottom, high-relief spur and groove, etc.). A 200m x 200m polygon grid was used to overlay onto existing bathymetry and benthic habitat maps of the study area, and a two-stage stratified random design was used to select sites for sampling from various strata combinations of cross-shelf habitat type, along-shelf position (i.e. region), and management zone (Ault et al. 2006, Smith et al. 2011). At each 200-m x 200-m site, four 15-m transects were deployed for data collection. More information on the individual projects from which data were compiled for this dataset is located online at http://people.uncw.edu/millers/index.htm. This dataset was compiled to 1) describe the spatial distribution patterns of octocoral species density along the Florida Coral Reef Tract (FCRT)from 1999 to 2009 2) document temporal changes in benthic communities throughout the region, and 3) inform the Florida Keys National Marine Sanctuary Marine Zoning and Regulatory Review process. The timeline for the review process is November 2011 through summer 2015. This dataset was derived from benthic survey information provided by Steven Miller et al, at Nova Southeastern University. completed Dan Dorfman NOAA-NCCOS 301-713-3028 1305 East-West Hwy Silver Spring MD 20901 pointOfContact notPlanned CoRIS_Metadata theme NCEI Geoportal Filter Geographic Information > Biology theme CoRIS Discovery Thesaurus Biogeographic assessment to characterize the Florida Coral Reef Tract Ecosystem 390 project CRCP Project octocoral species density theme None Environmental Monitoring theme NOS Data Explorer Topic Category EARTH SCIENCE > Biosphere > Zoology > Corals > Anthozoans/Octocorals theme CoRIS Theme Thesaurus OCEAN BASIN > Atlantic Ocean > North Atlantic Ocean > Florida Reef Tract (26N080W0007) COUNTRY/TERRITORY > United States of America > Florida > Florida Reef Tract (26N080W0007) place CoRIS Place Thesaurus otherRestrictions Use Constraints: These data are continuously revised and updated information can be obtained from the original data source (Miller et al.
