Content Description
Abstract: This is a cooperative project between the Charlotte Harbor National Estuary Program and the Florida Fish and Wildlife Research Institute. This project updated the 1995 Sargent et al. report on boat propeller scarring for the Charlotte Harbor and Lemon and Estero Bays areas. GIS products include the 1995 data, the 2003 data, marine facilities and 1999 seagrass polygon maps produced by SFWMD and SWFWMD. Scarring intensity was categorized as light, moderate, or severe. Areas with substantial scarring recognizable on 1:24,000-scale aerial photography were delineated on the maps with polygons, which were assigned a scarring intensity.
