The benthics data depicted in this map were interpreted by dep from 1980 1:24000 scale natural color aerial photographs, 1984-85 1:58000 scale color infrared aerial photographs, 1970 and 1983 USACOE infrared imagery, and 1980 USEPA natural color aerial photography.
Description:

Abstract:
Benthic communities are ecological environments of the sub-aqueous bottom. They are the envoronments that exist below the water. These environments include coral; seagrass; bare bottom; hard bottom; tidal flat; saltmarsh and halophila communities. These data illustrate the benthic communities of the Florida Panhandle during the time period between 1970 and 1985.
Purpose: To present the spatial location and types of benthic communities of the Florida Panhandle during the time period between 1970 and 1985.
Supplemental Information: These data are for historical reference only. Contact GIS Librarian for most current dataset available.

Overview Description:

Entity and Attribute Overview:
The vector coverage is composed of polygons attributed with information describing the benthic habitat type contained within the polygons. The attribute called "GRID_CODE" indicates the type of benthic community present as a numerical code. The attribute "DESCRIPTION" gives a descriptive name for the benthic community type. "SCLASS" contains a numerical code indicating the grouping of benthic community codes. And "SCLASSNAME" contains a verbal description of the benthic community.
