	<abstract>This dataset contains data from the geographic information system (GIS) shapefile of recovered Florida manatee (&lt;i&gt;Trichechus manatus latirostris&lt;/i&gt;) carcass locations within Florida from April 1974 through to the latest spatially verified data presently available. Locations are based both on coordinates provided by field staff (gathered either by geographic positioning system [GPS] or by using navigation charts to ascertain latitudes and longitudes) and maps provided by the field staff. Fish and Wildlife Research Institute (FWRI) GIS staff in the Marine Mammal subsection verify that the provided coordinates match the intent of the plotted location. Points representing carcass locations were entered into a GIS using a digital shoreline basemap taken largely from NOAA navigation charts (1:40,000) and from USGS quadrangles (1:24,000). The scale is considered to be 1:40,000.</abstract><purpose>The primary use of this dataset is to display reported manatee carcass recovery locations and associated attributes, such as cause of death.</purpose><supplinf>Prior to July 1, 2004, the Fish and Wildlife Research Institute (FWRI) was known as the Florida Marine Research Institute (FMRI).&#13;
