The Benthic Habitats of the Florida Keys atlas represents the
culmination of a six-year federal and state effort to map the
distribution and types of benthic habitats within the Florida Keys
National Marine Sanctuary.
The Benthic Habitats of the Florida Keys atlas contains 32 color
maps depicting the benthic habitat types at a scale of 1:51,500. In
addition to showing the locations and extents of different habitat
types in the Florida Keys, the atlas provides a brief description
of the Florida Keys region, summary information on the extents of
the ecological habitats by subregion, and a detailed description of
each habitat type. For purposes of organization and presentation,
the Florida Keys are divided into three regions: the Upper Keys,
the Middle Keys, and the Lower Keys and Dry Tortugas.
