Watershed Scale Planning to Reduce Land-Based Sources of Pollution (LBSP) for the Protection of Coral Reefs in Southeast Florida:
An Overview and Data Gap Assessment

This project was compiled using multiple types of information. Technical reports, geographic (GIS) data, and numerical data were obtained from state, federal, scientific, and consultant sources. These data are organized into two groups, one for reports and publications, and one for data and geographic files. These groups act as source libraries for this project and accompany this report. Each item in the source library includes:

  • Title. A description of the resource.
  • Filename. Name of the file for this data source.
  • Source. Identifies where the data came from, which is not necessarily same as the entity that created the original data.Where available additional documentation is packaged with the data files
  • ICA Applicable. Identifies the Inlet Contributing Area(s) to which the data apply.

Most of the data were collected by NOAA and Southeast Florida Coral Reef Initiative (SEFCRI) partners for this Land Based Sources of Pollution (LBSP) project. Additional secondary data and information were collected by the contractor Horsley Witten Group to fill in gaps or supplement existing data. All of these data are secondary data and contain the accuracy and reliability limitations inherent in the source data. Horsley Witten Group did not perform any primary data collection for this project.
