SEA-level Rise: HABITAT Maps

Maps by GIS Specialist and Information Technology Director Curt Bradley. You can also view a holistic map of critical habitat areas for endangered species in South Florida.

 
DELMARVA PENINSULA FOX SQUIRREL
The Delmarva Peninsula fox squirrel is a large, heavy-bodied tree squirrel with an unusually full, fluffy tail. The fox squirrel is frosty silver to slate gray with a white belly and can grow to be 30 inches long, including 15 inches of tail.


WESTERN SNOWY PLOVER
The western snowy plover is a very small bird, weighing less than 2 ounces and growing to be about 6 inches long. It is pale brown on top and white below, with a white hind neck collar, a dark forehead bar, and dark eye patches and lateral breast patches.
 


 
 
KEY DEER
The Key deer is the smallest subspecies of white-tailed deer — about the size of a German shepherd. A predecessor of the Key deer is believed to have migrated to the Florida Keys from the mainland over a land bridge exposed during the Wisconsin Glaciation.


LOGGERHEAD SEA TURTLE
Loggerhead sea turtles are named for their large heads, which contain powerful jaws and a thick beak. These turtles have extremely efficient, short flippers. Adults weigh approximately 250 pounds with shells measuring three feet long.


   
HAWAIIAN MONK SEAL
Named for its resemblance to a Catholic monk, the Hawaiian monk seal has folds around its neck and is gray in color, with pelage often turning brown from weathering. Adult females weigh about 450 pounds, while males are smaller, weighing about 375 pounds. Pups are silvery gray with fuzzy black hair when they are born.
