Flower Garden Banks NMS Map

NOAA's National Marine Sanctuaries Program partnered with NOAA's National Centers for Environmental Information to create an on-line GIS-based mapping tool of the Flower Garden Banks Sanctuary.

Bathymetry, biological information, management zones, oil and gas activities, oceanographic data, and remotely operated vehicle tracks with associated underwater photographs are made available through this tool.

The information available from this website is the result of an enormous effort by many partners, including USGS, University of New Hampshire, Minerals Management Service, NOAA's Office of Ocean Exploration, National Undersea Research Center - University of North Carolina at Wilmington, Smithsonian Institution, Long-Term Monitoring contractors, students, volunteers and interns, and dozens of marine scientists who assisted in the identification process.

Clear Route
There are two ways to view photographs.

1) Use the dropdown list to select a geologic bank or click on one of the geologic banks (red dots) on the map. If there are any photographs available for a geologic bank, a new tab called "Images" can be used to access the pictures. You can view photographs by selecting a particular dive for the geologic bank.

2) If the remote operated vehicle's dive tracks are drawn on the map (yellow lines), clicking on any of these lines will generate a popup window containing links to the photographs of that particular dive.
