Abstract:  These data represent the designated critical habitat for lobed star coral (Orbicella annularis) as designated by 88 FR 54026, published on August 09, 2023. This rule becomes effective on September 08, 2023.OANN‐1: All waters 6.5 ft (2 m) to 65.6 ft (20 m) deep in Florida from the south side of Lake Worth Inlet, Palm Beach County south to the south side of Government Cut, Miami‐Dade County. All waters 1.6 ft (0.5 m) to 65.6 ft (20 m) deep in Florida from the south side of Government Cut, Miami‐Dade County south to the Dry Tortugas, and waters north of the Florida Keys in the FKNMS.OANN‐2: All waters 1.6 ft (0.5 m) to 65.6 ft (20 m) deep surrounding the islands of the Commonwealth of Puerto RicoOANN‐3: All waters 1.6 ft (0.5 m) to 65.6 ft (20 m) deep surrounding the islands of St. Thomas and St. John, and smaller surrounding islands, USVIOANN‐4: All waters 1.6 ft (0.5 m) to 65.6 ft (20 m) deep surrounding the island of St. Croix and smaller surrounding islands, USVIOANN-5: All waters 1.6 ft (0.5 m) to 65.6 ft (20 m) deep surrounding Navassa IslandOANN-6: All waters 52 ft (16 m) to 295 ft (90 m) deep in the water column surrounding East Flower Garden Bank, West Flower Garden Bank, Bright Bank, McGrail Bank, and Geyer Bank.

Purpose: The purpose of these data is to visually represent the designated critical habitat areas for GIS analysis and display.

Limitations of use: Users be advised that the accuracy of this data set is completely dependent upon the accuracy of the shoreline and/or bathymetric data used in the creation process. For more details on this process, see the process description. The text description in 85 FR 76302 is always the one, true definition of the coral critical habitat. These or any other depictions are for information purposes only and shouldn't be relied on for regulatory purposes.

Process step:
When the process occurred:  2021-07-23T00:00:00
Description: Bathymetry source: NGDC Coastal Relief Model for Puerto Rico & U.S. Virgin Islands (Vol. 9), Florida and Eastern Gulf of Mexico (Vol. 3), and Central Gulf of Mexico (Vol. 4). Using ESRI's ArcGIS ArcMap software and Spatial Analyst extension, ran the focal statistics tool, which smoothed blocky contours. Then Surface >Contour tool with base contour set to 0.99999, which will also smooth some blockiness. Converted the polyline to a polygon. Deleted very small polygons/ or polys for depths +/- 1m. NOAA NCCOS provided bathymeric contours for Navassa based on sidescan sonar surveys.

Description: A detailed shoreline was used for Puerto Rico and the Virgin Islands from NOAA National Centers for Coastal Ocean Science (NCCOS), by selecting 'Land' and 'mangrove' polygons. The NOAA medium resolution vector shoreline was used for Florida to depict shoreline, 0.5, and 1 meter bathy. COLREG lines at the mouths of bays and inlets, the intercouncil boundary between South Atlantic and Gulf of Mexico Fishery Management Councils, Florida Keys National Marine Sanctuary, federally maintained channels, and information from the U.S. Navy exclusions were used to create the critical habitat boundary.
