The Center for Spatial Analysis employs specialists from marine, freshwater, and terrestrial arenas to develop spatially explicit models identifying Florida’s priority lands and waters for conservation of biodiversity. A variety of tools and methods are employed that result in a diverse line of products and services.
Scientists at the Fish and Wildlife Research Institute (FWRI) have been developing habitat suitability models that predict spatial distributions and relative abundance of fish and invertebrate species in Florida estuaries.
