Objectives Describe new satellite products Applications of satellite data products in

FKNMS Rezoning EffortEcological Research and Monitoring (W.33)Florida Bay influences (W.24)Researching Water Quality Issues (W.32)

Provide FKNMS with satellite data products Discussion

Assess utility of data products as part of FKNMS Rezoning Effort

Discussion Use for zoning decision making

Temporal zoningBased upon seasonal events

Zone specific regulationsSize, resource protection

Protect and preserve coral reefsMinimize adverse socioeconomic impacts

Socioeconomic considerationsProvide water clarity for divers

Assess rezoning performance results based upon data products providedSolicit feedback from WQPP, SAC
