Florida Panhandle: BENTHIC (Points, Polygons)
This data set contains sensitive biological resource data for submerged aquatic vegetation, hard-bottom communities, and pelagic Sargassum in the Florida Panhandle. Vector polygons in this data set represent benthic habitat distribution. Species specific abundance, seasonality, status, life history, and source information are stored in relational data tables (described below) designed to be used in conjunction with this spatial data layer. This data set comprises a portion of the ESI data for Florida. ESI data characterize the marine and coastal environments and wildlife by their sensitivity to spilled oil. The ESI data include information for three main components: shoreline habitats, sensitive biological resources, and human-use resources. See also the BENTHICPT data layer, part of the larger Florida Panhandle ESI database, for additional benthic information.
