Indian River Lagoon Seagrass Communities (2015)

These data serve as documentation for seagrass coverage in the Indian River Lagoon in 2015. Seagrass coverage was photointerpreted from 2015 aerials. Features were classified according to SFWMD/SJRWMD modified FLUCCS using SOCET SET softcopy photogrammetric workstations. These data document and inventory seagrasses for the management of the resource, identify "healthy" areas that may deserve special protection efforts, and identify potential "problem" areas that require further investigation. These data are intended for use in documenting large-scale trends in the status of this resource. The Indian River Lagoon (IRL) Surface Water Improvement and Management (SWIM) Plan directs the South Florida and St. Johns River Water Management Districts to map seagrasses in the Indian River Lagoon at two to three-year intervals.
