This site reports the results of a seven-year cooperative effort between the National Ocean Service and the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission of Environmental Protection's Florida Marine Research Institute to map the types and extent of benthic habitats within the Florida Keys. It also announces the completion and content of two products: an Atlas and CD-ROM.
