20230601 15122900 1.0 TRUE Zone Nine mutually exclusive zones were identified from land to open water corresponding to typical insular shelf and coral reef geomorphology. These zones include: land, shoreline/intertidal, lagoon, back reef, reef crest, fore reef, bank/shelf, bank/shelf escarpment, and dredged (since this condition eliminates natural geomorphology). Zone refers only to each benthic community’s location and does not address substrate or cover types within. NOAA/NOS/NCCOS/MSE/Biogeography Branch
