The map shows the tracklines for historical bathymetric data for Florida Bay. The areas on the map are linked to the corresponding
data sets which contain values for X (easting), Y (northing), Z (elevation), and the RMS set to 0.0.

purpose:
Detailed, high-resolution maps of Florida Bay mudbank elevations are needed to understand sediment dynamics and provide input
into water quality and circulation models. The bathymetry of Florida Bay has not been systematically mapped in nearly 100
years, and some shallow areas of the bay have never been mapped.Numerical circulation and sediment transport models being
developed for the South Florida Ecosystem Restoration Program are being used to address water quality issues in Florida Bay.
Digitizing the historical shoreline and bathymetric data for comparison with modern data provides information on sedimentation
rates within the Bay.
