Description: Oysters are able to thrive at a variety of depths, however, for the objectives of this project, the depth of placement was restricted to a maximum of 9 feet. All areas 9ft deep or less were scored 1 with remaining areas scored 0. The scored raster was resampled to a 1km, 1km grid.

Description: Optimal salinity zones (generally 5-25ppt) were scored as most suitable for oyster restoration while areas of extreme low and high salinities were scored as least suitable. For the panhandle region, polygons representing optimal salinities between 5-25 ppt were scored 1 with remaining areas scored 0. For the peninsula region, the salinity range was adjusted to better reflect the relationship between measured salinities and oyster distribution. Polygons representing salinities over 5ppt were scored 1 with remaining areas scored 0. The scored polygons were converted to a 1km, 1km grid.

Description: Oysters are likely to be successful in areas where they historically have been productive. However, it is important to note that conditions may have changed in the given time span such that restoration may not be suitable in all of the areas identified by this layer. To identify areas where oysters have been or are currently found, multiple current and historic oyster reef data sets were collated and merged. Areas with reef were scored 1 and all remaining areas were scored a 0. The scored polygons were converted to a 1km, 1km grid. <a href='xml/FL_reef.xml'

Description: Permitting for oyster restoration is typically viewed as more feasible outside of Florida Aquatic Preserves.

Description: Oyster restoration projects can provide social and economic benefits to those communities whose livelihoods depend most upon the health of coastal natural resources. To identify coastal communities with high levels of natural resource job dependence, we used census data to map the percentage of the workforce employed in agriculture, forestry, and fishing per census block group. Nearshore areas (within 2km of shore) adjacent to block groups with high concentrations of workers employed in natural resource dependent sectors were scored 1 while areas adjacent to medium concentrations received a score of .5. All remaining areas were scored 0. Scored polygons were converted to a 1km, 1km grid. Original data source: 2000 US Census (polygon), Resolution: 1:100,000. <a href='xml/FL_natres.xml'

Description: Oyster reefs can be placed adjacent to eroding shorelines to help attenuate waves and stabilize shorelines. To identify portions of the shoreline that are currently vulnerable to erosion, we used a portion of the USGS Coastal Vulnerability Index. We extracted shoreline erosion rates for Florida and reclassified the values into quartiles with scores of .25, .5, .75, and 1. A score of 1 indicates areas with the highest erosion rates and a score of .25 indicates areas of low erosion or accretion. The scores were then allocated to the nearshore areas (within 2km of shore) adjacent to the shoreline. All remaining areas were scored 0. Scored polygons were converted to a 1km, 1km grid.
