The boundaries of each specific area for each coral are determined by their commonly occupied minimum and maximum depth ranges and their specific geographic distribution.
Bathymetry source: NGDC Coastal Relief Model for Puerto Rico & U.S. Virgin Islands (Vol. 9), and Florida and Eastern Gulf of Mexico (Vol. 3). 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.

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.
