Submerged in the past : Mapping the beguiling waters of Florida's Biscayne and Dry Tortugas National Parks
Murphy LE and Smith TG. 1995. Submerged in the past : Mapping the beguiling waters of Florida's Biscayne and Dry Tortugas National Parks. Geo Info Systems. :26-33
Biscayne and Dry Tortuga National Parks have been the subject numerous small-area surveys, but have lacked the integrated database needed by resource managers and researchers to adequately map the area. Since 1993 the National Park Service has been conducting surreys designed to provide a comprehensive, cumulative natural and cultural-resource inventory accessible through geographic database software. These underwater remote sensing surveys are some of the first to be designed specifically for geographic information systems (GIS) applications and will be used to help preserve the maritime, cultural, and natural history submerged in the Florida Straits.
