These core data sets are used with diverse data bases such as manatee distribution, mortality, migration, aquatic vegetation, and marinas. Preliminary findings have been used to delineate manatee protection zones, and tests are being conducted to combine environmental layers such as water temperature, vegetative cover, salinity, and bathymetry to create predicative models of travel routes and to identify high-use migration corridors.
