The Benthic Organisms of the Florida Keys National Marine Sanctuary geodatabase is a collection of information on the distribution of benthic organisms within the sanctuary compiled from multiple sources. It contains information on the distribution of benthic habitats from the Unified Florida Reef Tract Map version 1.1, the distribution of hard and soft corals surveyed by multiple monitoring programs, the distribution of resilient reefs and distribution of seagrasses.
