Florida depends on the oceans, yet its waters have not been extensively mapped to the highest standards. While there is a need for marine spatial data for a wide range of applications and issues, there is also a need to develop data acquisition, processing , and analytical workflows and to integrate different surveying instruments that can capture...

... have studied many estuaries and creeks off an area of the west coast of Florida called the Nature Coast, off the towns of Cedar Key and Suwannee. A combination of intertidal oyster reefs, salt marshes, and mudflats is found in these areas (Figure 5). The different habitat types form a dynamic ecosystem in which unhealthy oyster reefs can transform into mudflats that salt marshes can then populate, and accurate temporal monitoring is critical to capture these subtle changes. ...
