Sensitivity of Coastal Environments and Wildlife to Spilled Oil: South Florida: MGT_FISH (Fishery Management Area Polygons)

This data set contains commercial fisheries in South Florida. Vector polygons in this data set represent statistical reporting grids used to aggregate commercial fishing data. Species-specific landings, catch per unit effort (CPUE), value, fishing seasons, and fishery types are stored in a relational data table designed to be used in conjunction with this spatial data layer. This data set comprises a portion of the ESI data for South Florida. ESI data characterize the marine and coastal environments and wildlife by their sensitivity to spilled oil. The ESI data include information for three main components: shoreline habitats, sensitive biological resources, and human-use resources. See also the data layers Fish (Fish Polygons), MGT (Management Area Polygons), and SOCECON (Socioeconomic Resource Points and Lines), part of the larger South Florida ESI database, for additional fisheries and human-use information.
