This GIS data set represents oyster coverage for available study areas in the state of Florida. Not all areas have been mapped, but this dataset represents the oyster data available to FWRI as of March 2025. Polygons representing dead oyster mass have been removed as of January 2022. Previous compilations included both live and dead oysters. Please contact GISLibrarian@MyFWC.com for the full source datasets used in this compilation. Source dates vary and many studies are much older than the compilation date.
