- Abstract:
-
Descriptive inventory of public access boat ramps throughout Florida, derived from raw data produced during the Florida Boating Access Facilities Inventory and Economic Study, FWC contract Number 04/05-23, product delivered August 30, 2009. This data set is modified from the original format and supplemented by additional data maintained by FWC. These data will eventually evolve into a planned integrated boating access facilities inventory system. This data set is a selection of facilities from the raw data set that the contractor identified to be in operation and accessible to the general public during the time of data compilation. This data set includes both government managed facilities accessible to the general public and commerciality operated facilities accessible to the general public. In both cases a fee might be charged for use of the facility. The attribute fields included in this data set are a subset of those available in the raw data set. These attribute fields were selected and modified to present only attribute information that might be of most interest to the general public desiring to use these facilities. This modified data set is meant to be an interim data set for public dissemination until a more robust database application is constructed to provide interactive access to the original data via web services. Currently these data are considered preliminary and are not verified by FWC as to accuracy and completeness.
- Purpose:
-
The original data set was produced during the Statewide Boating Access
Facilities Inventory and Economic Study, FWC contract Number 04/05-23
and delivered by the contractor August 30, 2009. The purpose of that study
was to create a comprehensive inventory of publicly accessible boat access
facilities and conduct several economic studies to quantify economic impact
of recreational boating; estimate present and projected supply/demand; conduct
site suitability analysis for potential or expanded facilities; and estimate capital
costs for new or improved facilities.
- Supplemental_Information:
-
This data set is a selection of facilities from the raw data set that the
contractor identified to be in operation and accessible to the general
public during the time of data compilation. This data set includes both
government managed facilities accessible to the general public and
commerciality operated facilities accessible to the general public. In
both cases a fee might be charged for use of the facility. The attribute
fields included in this data set are a subset of those available in the raw
data set. These attribute fields were selected and modified to present
only attribute information that might be of most interest to the general
public desiring to use these facilities. This modified data set is meant
to be an interim data set for public dissemination until a more robust
database application is constructed to provide interactive access to
the original data via web services. Currently these data are considered
preliminary and are not verified by FWC as to accuracy and completeness.

Funded by a grant from the United States Fish and Wildlife Service Federal Aid in Sport Fish Restoration Program awarded to the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission. The overlying project is titled Florida Boating Access Facilities Inventory and Economic Study. Original data compilation conducted under sub-contract to the Urban Harbors Institute at the University of Massachusetts through contract number FWC 04/05-23 and product delivered August 30, 2009. Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission, United States Fish and Wildlife Service, and Lee County commissioned the body of work from which these data are derived. The University of Massachusetts at Boston Urban Harbors Institute was lead contractor. Bordner Research Associates conducted field inspections. The project was commissioned in 2005 and titled the Florida Boating and Access Facilities Inventory and Economic Study.

-
Removed records based on the following fields and/or criteria: believed
not to exist, does not exist, could not locate, permanently closed, unverified
potential ramp, temporarily closed, site status = closed. Comments that
described ramps as unusable, unusable - water level too low, no access,
doubt if a ramp. If ramp access was listed as government for government
use, private for private use, undetermined or if it was left blank. I record
that was listed as private for public use but also a single family residence
with no fees listed.

GeoPlan downloaded this data in shapefile format from the Florida Fish
and Wildlife Conservation Commission-Fish and Wildlife Research Institute
FTP site on June 8th, 2016. The data was received as a shapefile in projection:
Albers NAD 83 (PCS_Albers). The dataset was then projected from Albers NAD 83
to FGDL Albers HARN using NAD_1983_To_HARN_Florida transformation.
- Reprojected data to FGDL Albers HARN
- Added a DESCRIPT field to attribute table based on NAME
- Added a FGDLAQDATE field based on date received from source
- Uppercased all fields
- Changed name from boat_ramps_fl_pnt to boat_ramps_jun16

The Florida Geographic Data Library is a collection of Geospatial Data
compiled by the University of Florida GeoPlan Center with support from
the Florida Department of Transportation. GIS data available in FGDL is
collected from various state, federal, and other agencies (data sources)
who are data stewards, producers, or publishers. The data available in
FGDL may not be the most current version of the data offered by the
data source. University of Florida GeoPlan Center makes no guarantees
about the currentness of the data and suggests that data users check
with the data source to see if more recent versions of the data exist.
Furthermore, the GIS data available in the FGDL are provided 'as is'.
The University of Florida GeoPlan Center makes no warranties, guaranties
or representations as to the truth, accuracy or completeness of the data
provided by the data sources. The University of Florida GeoPlan Center
makes no representations or warranties about the quality or suitability
of the materials, either expressly or implied, including but not limited

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:
