Methods were generally the same as our 2017 effort, but we used QGIS software rather than ArcGIS (ESRI). All freshwater species in our study area were assessed in 12 meetings held on June 30 through July 26 by combinations of the between 2 and 8 (mode=6) people experienced in fishes of our region including,: Adam Cohen (12), Doug Martin (10), Roy Kleinsasser (9), Gary Garrett (8), Chris Taylor (8), Megan Bean (4), Kevin Conway (3), Bob Edwards (3), Melissa Casarez (3), Dean Hendrickson (1), and Chris Hoagstrom (consulted for single species). During these meetings we re-determined or determined native ranges, flagged records for examination, as suspect, as captive and/or for re-georeferencing (and other less common data errors). For native ranges of marine species, we relied heavily on the Smithsonian Tropical Research Institute’s website, Shorefishes of the Greater Caribbean Online Information System, which provides native ranges for most Gulf of Mexico species in our study area.
