PhotoScience Inc. produced a map of the extent and distribution of benthic habitats throughout Biscayne Bay in 2009. This shapefile consists of a portion of the original map clipped to the Biscayne National Park (BISC) boundary. The shapefile was then merged with an offshore map originally produced by Avineon Inc. in 2008 and refined by the South Florida / Caribbean Network in 2011. The publisher performed minor modifications and two accuracy evaluations of the clipped inshore portion. The offshore map was clipped to the park boundary before the merge, but no other modification was made to that portion of the map. The original layer was re-projected to NAD 1983 (2011) Florida GDL Albers (Meters), WKID 6439. The dissolve fields on which features were aggregated were the 'Source', 'PercentBioCover', 'ClassLv3', and 'ClassLv4'.<\/SPAN><\/P><\/DIV><\/DIV><\/DIV>", "summary": "The Biscayne National Park Map Merge Project aimed to clip a portion of the original PhotoScience Inc. map from 2009 to the BISC boundary.
