Mapping Florida's Coastal Waters
The FCMaP approach divides Florida into 6 regions that are geologically and physiographically distinct in terms of coastal characteristic.
FCMaP Approach Delineates Six Distinct Florida Regions
The FCMaP approach divides Florida into 6 regions that are geologically and physiographically distinct in terms of coastal characteristic (e.g. dominant type of shoreline, width of continental shelf, composition and structure of seabed), have variable stakeholder-driven needs, and will develop separate prioritization strategies. Regions are (from northwest to northeast): Panhandle, Big Bend, West FL Peninsula, FL Keys, SE Coast, NE Coast.
In addition, the coastal zone is divided into 2 categories: areas in 0 – 20 m water depth, and 20 meters to the continental shelf break. The division is largely driven by the requirements for different types of sensors and survey design.
