This GIS data set represents known locations of annelid worm reefs. It is not a comprehensive mapping effort. 
 The Nature Conservancy created a worm reef shapefile, containing the locations of annelid worm reefs (Phragmaopoma lapidosa) on Florida'a east coast as identified from available literature and location information obtained from worm reef experts in Florida. FGDL - Digital Orthophoto Quarter Quad 3 Meter aerial images were used in some cases to identify sites from previous sources. 
 FWRI staff added worm reefs from the Broward County benthic habitat mapping (2004).
