The Unified Reef Map consists of individual maps and monitoring data provided by our numerous partners. The purpose of the Unified Reef Map is to provide a comprehensive view of habitats from Martin County through the Florida Keys to the Dry Tortugas. The Unified Reef Map supports the larger effort to coordinate scientific research and promote a reef-wide approach for protecting Florida’s reef tract. To create the URM, individual maps are integrated, data are edited where overlapping or neighboring maps disagree, and habitat classes are cross-walked to allow comparisons between maps. The URM symbolizes benthic habitats, or bottom types, using the Unified Classification (UC) system. The UC framework allows translation between different classification schemes while retaining the original detailed information provided by our mapping partners. There are five hierarchical UC classes starting at UC Level 0 which represents broad habitat classes and can be consistently translated between individual maps. At the most detailed UC Level 4, benthic habitats are described differently between map providers and may differ throughout the Unified Reef Map. The UC system is also cross-walked to the Coastal and Marine Ecological Classification Standard (CMECS). Un-edited source maps provided by URM map partners are also available. The Unified Reef Map is a living map and will be updated as new data become available. Version 2.0 released January 2017.

Metadata must be distributed with the data set. The data were verified for logical consistency between field values. This is a versioned product that will be continually updated. All entities and attributes have been identified. A comparison between the 1:24,000-scale maps of the compiled data and the original delineated photos to determine the positional accuracy of polygonal shapes and attributes was part of the QC process (see process step). All spatial edits were performed using the best available imagery, in situ observation data, high resolution bathymetric data and earlier benthic maps. See source map metadata for positional accuracy reports specific to source data. Individual source map feature classes can be cross-referenced using the Source field. Version 1.0 published Version 2.0 – Data additions : Unified Florida Patch Reef Map and the Southeast Florida Benthic Habitat Update. Southeast Florida Benthic Habitat data was edited to not overwrite NPS dataset overlap . Data surrounding these areas were edited at seams to match updates. . Data intersected by these additions were edited for geometry and classification. Version 1.3 - Data addition: Northern Marquesas and Backcountry Areas. Data surrounding these areas were edited at seams to match updates and map topology errors throughout the map were corrected. Version 1.2 - Data addition: Hawk Channel. Boca Grande Channel. Data surrounding these areas were edited at seams to match updates. Reclassification and geometry editing procedures are detailed in accompanying report Version 1.1 - Data addition: Biscayne Bay Aquatic Preserve.

Where the Unified Patch Reef Map layer intersected the Unified Florida Reef Tract Map, numerous features were edited and updated using newer, higher resolution imagery. As a result, there will be considerable differences between the Unified Florida Reef Tract Map v1.3 and the Unified Florida Reef Tract Map v2.0. 0 Benthic Habitats Biscayne Bay 2005 - 2008 (Biscayne Bay aquatic preserve - northern portion) Benthic Habitats Biscayne Bay 2005 - 2008 (Biscayne Bay aquatic preserve - northern portion) FWC/National Park Service 0 Benthic Habitats Broward County Florida 2004 Benthic Habitats Broward County Florida 2004 2004-01-01 Nova Southeastern University Oceanographic Center 0 Benthic Habitats Florida Bay 2004 Benthic Habitats Florida Bay 2004 2005-01-01 Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission-Fish and Wildlife Research Institute 0 Benthic Habitats North Miami-Dade Florida 2009 Benthic Habitats North Miami-Dade Florida 2009 2009-01-01 Nova Southeastern University Oceanographic Center 0 North Keys/Backcountry FWC North Keys/Backcountry FWC FWC FWRI FWC This is a final draft of the North Keys/Backcountry FWC benthic map.

The nearshore has been updated according to Walker and Klug 2014 (Hillsboro inlet to Fowey Rocks) and Cumming 2017 (Lake Worth inlet to Boynton inlet) combined with all previous mapping efforts. Cumming combined all hardbottom mapping from 2000 to present to obtain the total nearshore hardbottom extent. This habitat is variably exposed depending on temporal shifting sediment, beach nourishments, and large storm events. The Ecosystem regions were defiend in Walker 2012 and Walker and Gilliam 2013.The SE FL nearshore benthic habitats were mapped using the same combined technique approach as described in Walker, Riegl, and Dodge (2008). Polygons were created by outlining and defining the features at a 1:1,000 scale and minimum mapping unit of 0.1 ha within recent aerial photography and high resolution bathymetric survey data. Southeast Florida benthic habitat maps were produced by delineating seafloor features evident in multiple datasets including the GMR Aerial Surveys, Inc. dba Photo Scienceimagery collected for this purpose on March 8, 2013, 2008 Broward lidar, and 2009 NOAA bathymetry. This dataset built upon previous regional mapping efforts by Dr. Brian Walker at Nova Southeastern University. The habitats were classified according to established NOAA guidelines in coordination with the NOS Coral Mapping Program and use a similar classification scheme when possible. 0 Benthic Habitats Marquesas-Quicksands Florida 2006 Benthic Habitats Marquesas-Quicksands Florida 2006 2011-01-01 Coastal Planning & Engineering, Inc. 0 Biscayne National Park 2005 - 2013 Biscayne National Park 2005 - 2013 National Park Service 0 Hawk Channel Hawk Channel FWC FWRI FWC This is a final draft of the Hawk Channel benthic map.
