This data set contains the civil district boundaries for the U.S. Army Corp of Engineers in Florida. The Ocean Planning and Governance Geographic Information System (Ocean GIS) is a prototype online regional marine GIS covering the vast ocean area bounded by the Carolinas, Georgia, Florida, the exclusive economic zone, and various maritime boundaries. The Ocean GIS was developed to provide coastal and ocean resource managers in the Southeast access to regional digital geographic mapping information and technologies to facilitate coordinated decision making within and across the multi-layered U.S. ocean management framework. Special emphasis is placed on the federal ocean and coastal management and governance framework, and efforts are ongoing to develop similar data sets for state and local level policy frameworks.
The purpose of these data is to provide a cartographic representation of USACE's jurisdictional boundaries for the Southeast U.S. for use in the Ocean GIS project. The Southeast Ocean GIS is an ongoing project that has and continues to rely on the vision, dedication, helpfulness, and energy of individuals from partner agencies and numerous other organizations. The Ocean GIS partnership includes: North Carolina Department of Environment and Natural Resources - Division of Coastal Management, South Carolina Department of Health and Environmental Control, Florida Coastal Management Program, Georgia Department of Natural Resources - Coastal Resources Division, NOAA Office of Ocean and Coastal Resource Management, U.S. Department of Interior- Minerals Management Service, Florida Marine Research Institute, and NOAA Coastal Services Center. The Ocean GIS provides marine resource managers with timely and equitable access to downloadable data, cutting-edge online mapping functionality, and guidance on how to use GIS in a meaningful way with respect to ocean management. THE DATA INCLUDED IN THIS APPLICATION ARE BASED ON INTERPRETATION OF AVAILABLE INFORMATION AND SHOULD NOT BE CONSTRUED AS LEGALLY BINDING.
The Ocean Planning and Governance Geographic Information System (Ocean GIS) is a prototype online regional marine GIS covering the vast ocean area bounded by the Carolinas, Georgia, Florida, the exclusive economic zone, and various maritime boundaries. These zones are subject to tidal impact and change over time. As this project is a cooperative effort the data is maintained through interagency cooperation. For the most up to date and current information, please contact NOAA by visiting the web site.
THE DATA INCLUDED IN THIS APPLICATION ARE BASED ON INTERPRETATION OF AVAILABLE INFORMATION AND SHOULD NOT BE CONSTRUED AS LEGALLY BINDING. Scale is an important factor in data usage. Certain scale data sets are not suitable for some projects, analysis, or modeling purposes. Please be sure you are using the best available data. 1:24000 scale data sets are recommended for projects that are at the county level. 1:24000 data should NOT be used for high accuracy base mapping such as property parcel boundaries. 1:100000 scale data sets are recommended for projects that are at the multi-county or regional level. 1:250000 scale data sets are recommended for projects that are at the regional or state level or larger.
Relied on the integrity of the attribute information within the original data layer. However, during the QA process a new item, DESCRIPT was added. It is based on CW_DIST attribute information. Likewise, USACE_CIVIL was renamed from the original coverage to CW_DIST set to REQUIRED.
Certain node/geometry and topology (GT)-polygon/chain relationships are collected or generated to satisfy topological requirements. Some of these requirements include: chains must begin and end at nodes, chains must connect to each other at nodes, chains do not extend through nodes, left and right GT-polygons are defined for each chain element and are consistent throughout the transfer, and the chains representing the limits of the file (neatline) are free of gaps. The neatline is generated by connecting the four corners of the digital file, as established during initialization of the digital file. All data outside the enclosed region are ignored and all data crossing these geographically straight lines are clipped at the neatline. (Exception: During the QA/QC process all data is examined and if errors are found and corrections are possible, then data is corrected accordingly. This process is documented in the Process_Step.) Data within a specified tolerance of the neatline are snapped to the neatline. Neatline straightening aligns the digitized edges of the digital data with the generated neatline, that is, with the longitude/latitude lines in geographic coordinates. All internal polygons are tested for closure. Certain attributes and/or entities, e.g. closure line, convey data quality information. When information to be encoded in the subfield is known to be not applicable (undefined, not relevant), then the subfield is valued by a string of 9s; and when the information to be encoded is relevant but unknown (or missing), then the subfield is valued by a string of 9s.

The process step describes, in general, the process used in the production of data sets. The originating agencies created the original spatial coverage. GeoPlan, during the QA/QC process included the following aspects: (1) Reprojected data to FGDL Albers (2) Set Precision to DOUBLE (3) Set Tolerances to FGDL Standards (4) Added DESCRIPT item based on CW_DIST
