Description:

Abstract:: This data layer contains polygon features for Florida Beach names. The classification of features is based upon guidelines for developing digital ESI (Environmental Sensitivity Index) atlases and databases. The ESI classification was performed 06/1993.
Purpose:: To provide data for oilspill response. This data is for beach name identification only!

THE DATA INCLUDED IN FGDL ARE 'AS IS' AND SHOULD NOT BE CONSTRUED AS LEGALLY BINDING. THE UNIVERSITY OF FLORIDA GEOPLAN CENTER SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY DAMAGES SUFFERED AS A RESULT OF USING, MODIFYING, CONTRIBUTING OR DISTRIBUTING THE MATERIALS.

A note about data scale:

Scale is an important factor in data usage. Certain scale datasets are not suitable for some project, analysis, or modeling purposes. Please be sure you are using the best available data.

1:24000 scale datasets 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 datasets are recommended for projects that are at the multi-county or regional level. 1:125000 scale datasets are recommended for projects that are at the regional or state level or larger.

Vector datasets with no defined scale or accuracy should be considered suspect. Make sure you are familiar with your data before using it for projects or analysis. Every effort has been made to supply the user with data documentation. For additional information, see the References section and the Data Source Contact section of this documentation. For more information regarding scale and accuracy, see our webpage at: <http://geoplan.ufl.edu/education.html>

Process_Step:

Process_Description:: This data was obtained in shapefile format from the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission-Fish and Wildlife Research Institute Marine Resources GIS Corporate Data CD Feb 2002 by the GeoPlan Center. Dataset name was changed from fl_beach_names to bchnam. When received, data was in the following projection: Albers, Datum: NAD 83 HPGN, Spheroid: GRS80, Units: Meters.

Process_Step:

Process_Description:

GeoPlan, during the QA/QC process included the following aspects: 1.)Changed original file name from fl_beach_names to bchnam 2.)Added DESCRIPT item based on NAME 3.)Upcased all character records 4.)Dropped old coverage internal items: beach_name, beach_na_1, bio_, bio_id
