Abstract: This dataset contains data from the geographic information system (GIS) shapefile of recovered Florida manatee (Trichechus manatus latirostris) carcass locations within Florida from April 1974 through to the latest spatially verified data presently available. Locations are based both on coordinates provided by field staff (gathered either by geographic positioning system [GPS] or by using navigation charts to ascertain latitudes and longitudes) and maps provided by the field staff. Fish and Wildlife Research Institute (FWRI) GIS staff in the Marine Mammal subsection verify that the provided coordinates match the intent of the plotted location. Points representing carcass locations were entered into a GIS using a digital shoreline basemap taken largely from NOAA navigation charts (1:40,000) and from USGS quadrangles (1:24,000). The scale is considered to be 1:40,000.

This data set consists of a detailed digital map of the areal extent of fields and a summary of the irrigated acreage for the 2018 growing season developed for Manatee County, Florida. Selected attribute data that include crop type, irrigation system, and primary water source were collected for each irrigated field.

Critical habitat constitutes areas considered essential for the conservation of a listed species. These areas provide notice to the public and land managers of the importance of the areas to the conservation of this species. Special protections and/or restrictions are possible in areas where Federal funding, permits, licenses, authorizations, or actions occur or are required.

West Indian manatees can be found along the coastal and inland waters of the southern United States, throughout the Caribbean islands and along the eastern coasts of Mexico and Central America and the northern coast of South America.These data identify, in general, the areas of proposed critical habitat for West Indian Manatee (Trichechus manatus), for the subspecies Florida Manatee in Florida

This GIS data set represents the State of Florida manatee protection areas as described in the Florida Administrative Code (FAC) Chapter 68C-22. This GIS data set was developed to spatially represent the manatee protection areas for general reference only. In the event of conflict between this data set and the zones as described in the FAC, the descriptions in the FAC shall prevail. These state of Florida manatee protection zones may differ from manatee protections zones created by City or County authorities and/or the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service.

The new West Indian manatee range data was finalized in November 2020. The original data have downloaded falls under the IUCN Red List Terms and Conditions of Use which can be viewed on the IUCN Red List website at www.iucnredlist.org/terms/terms-of-use. For the Florida manatee, the previous range map was revised significantly to extend north to Delaware and west to Texas to reflect new data and documented warm season distribution. West Indian manatees can be found along the coastal and inland waters of the southern United States, throughout the Caribbean islands and along the eastern coasts of Mexico and Central America and the northern coast of South America.

Aerial distribution surveys are used by marine mammal biologists from FWC and other agencies to determine the seasonal distribution of manatees. Most surveys are conducted from small, four-seat, high-winged airplanes (Cessna 172 or 182) flying at a height of 500-1000 ft at a speed of 70-90 kts. Small helicopters may be used instead of fixed wing aircraft in urban areas or where waters are particularly opaque and hovering may be required. Flights are usually four to six hours long and are most commonly flown every two weeks for two years. The surveys are designed to maximize the manatee counts by concentrating on shallow nearshore waters around the state where manatees and their primary food source, sea grasses, are located. Flight paths curve parallel to the shoreline, and the airplane circles when manatees are spotted until a count of the number of animals in each group is obtained. Offshore waters are usually not surveyed. Dolphin and sea turtle sightings are recorded opportunistically. All aerial data are recorded on paper maps and entered into a GIS shapefile for spatial analysis. GIS is a computer software system for representing data spatially and for conducting spatial analyses. This dataset includes manatee sightings from 24 surveys flown on the following dates: 5 Oct 2018, 29 Oct 2018, 7 Nov 2018, 26 Nov 2018, 11 Dec 2018, 18 Dec 2018, 10 Jan 2019, 16 Jan 2019, 22 Feb 2019, 28 Feb 2019, 7 Mar 2019, 26 Mar 2019, 11 Apr 2019, 24 Apr 2019, 15 May 2019, 23 May 2019, 12 Jun 2019, 26 Jun 2019, 16 Jul 2019, 23 Jul 2019, 6 Aug 2019, 21 Aug 2019, 25 Sep 2019, and 30 Sep 2019. FWC staff members were observers for these flights, and dual observers (two observers, one in the front seat and one in the rear seat) were present on some or all of survey flights. The survey area included Indian River County from the Sebastian Inlet to approximately the Indian River County/St. Lucie County border.

This data was developed to represent manatee signs and their associated attributes for the purpose of mapping, analysis, and planning. The accuracy of this data varies and should not be used for precise measurements or calculations.A feature class containing point data and attributes for marine regulatory and informational signs.

These data provide an accurate high-resolution shoreline compiled from imagery of PORT MANATEE, FL . This vector shoreline data is based on an office interpretation of imagery that may be suitable as a geographic information system (GIS) data layer. This metadata describes information for both the line and point shapefiles. The NGS attribution scheme 'Coastal Cartographic Object Attribute Source Table (C-COAST)' was developed to conform the attribution of various sources of shoreline data into one attribution catalog. C-COAST is not a recognized standard, but was influenced by the International Hydrographic Organization's S-57 Object-Attribute standard so the data would be more accurately translated into S-57.

Aerial distribution surveys are used by marine mammal biologists from Florida Fish & Wildlife Conservation Commission-Fish & Wildlife Research Institute (FWC-FWRI) and other agencies to determine the seasonal distribution of manatees. Most surveys are conducted from small, four-seat, high-winged airplanes (Cessna 172 or 182) flying at a height of 500-1000 ft at a speed of 70-90 kts. This survey was conducted by one aircraft mostly following historical flight paths used for past county-wide distribution surveys. However, some changes were made to shorten the flight route or to cover areas not flown in previous paths. See trackline metadata for details of flight path modifications. Flight paths generally curved parallel to the shoreline, and the airplane circled when manatees were spotted until a count of the number of animals in each group was obtained. Circling was limited to 3 passes unless a group was unusually large and aerial photos were used in some cases to confirm counts. Sightings data were recorded on paper maps and entered into a GIS shapefile for spatial analysis using NAIP 2021 - 2022 imagery and recorded flight paths as a reference. GIS is a computer software system for representing data spatially and for conducting spatial analyses. Counts presented in this dataset have not been corrected for detection bias (either perception or availability) and the absence of sightings in an area does not mean that no animals were present. This dataset includes recorded manatee sightings from 24 surveys flown on the following dates: 13 September 2023; 6 and 23 October 2023; 18 and 29 November 2023; 5 and 29 December 2023; 18 and 26 January 2024; 16 and 27 February 2024; 7 and 25 March 2024; 9 and 17 April 2024; 3 and 30 May 2024; 4 and 26 June 2024; 23 and 27 July 2024; 12 and 27 August 2024; 12 September 2024. FWC or Mote Marine Laboratory staff members were primary observers for these flights, and dual observers (two observers, one in the front seat and one in the rear seat) were present on some or all survey flights. The survey area includes the coastal areas of Tampa Bay, Florida from the Hillsborough-Manatee County line to Coffee Pot Bayou in southern Pinellas County. Some areas along the planned flight path may have been partially surveyed or not surveyed at all due to air traffic, weather, or other constraints present during individual surveys.
