Description:
Abstract:
This dataset contains the Coastal Assessment Framework (CAF) Drainage Areas produced by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA). The Coastal Assessment Framework (CAF) is a digital spatial framework developed using geographic information system (GIS) technology, which allows resource managers and analysts to organize and present information on the nation's coastal and marine resources. The CAF provides a consistently derived, watershed-based digital spatial framework for managers and analysts to organize and present information on the nation's coastal, near-ocean, and Great Lakes' resources. The Framework is composed of 150 Estuarine (and sub-estuarine) Drainage Areas (EDAs), 54 Fluvial Drainage Areas (FDAs), 324 Coastal Drainage Areas (CDAs), 12 Fluvial components of Coastal Drainage Areas (FCDAs), 11 interior watershed areas (self-contained, grounwater-contributing only, or watersheds draining to outside the U.S.). The CAF encompasses 100 percent of the land area within the coterminous United States of America. The complete CAF geography contains both land and water (near-ocean) components and is available in a variety of compositions. This dataset is an update to the 1999 FGDL layer CAFFL.shp.
Purpose:
To organize and present information on the nation's coastal and marine resources.
Supplemental_Information:
Coastal Assessments Framework
The Coastal Assessment Framework (CAF) is a digital spatial framework developed using geographic information system (GIS) technology, which allows resource managers and analysts to organize and present information on the nation's coastal and marine resources. The CAF provides a consistently derived, watershed-based digital spatial framework for managers and analysts to organize and present information on the nation's coastal, near-ocean, and Great Lakes' resources. The Framework is composed of 150 Estuarine (and sub-estuarine) Drainage Areas (EDAs), 54 Fluvial Drainage Areas (FDAs), 324 Coastal Drainage Areas (CDAs), 12 Fluvial components of Coastal Drainage Areas (FCDAs), 11 interior watershed areas (self-contained, grounwater-contributing only, or watersheds draining to outside the U.S.). The CAF encompasses 100 percent of the land area within the coterminous United States of America. The complete CAF geography contains both land and water (near-ocean) components and is available in a variety of compositions as outlined below.
CAF - Coastal (Estuarine) Watersheds - Land only This geography contains the land portions of the Coastal Assessment Framework's 150 Estuarine (and sub-estuarine) Drainage Areas (EDAs) and 324 Coastal Drainage Areas (CDAs). <http://coastalgeospatial.noaa.gov/images/caf_edas.jpg>
CAF - Upstream (Fluvial) Watersheds - Land only This geography contains the land portions of the Coastal Assessment Framework's 54 Fluvial Drainage Areas (FDAs) and 12 Fluvial components of Coastal Drainage Areas (FCDAs). <http://coastalgeospatial.noaa.gov/images/caf_fdas.jpg>
CAF - Interior Watersheds - Land only This geography contains the land portions of the Coastal Assessment Framework's 11 Interior (self-contained, groundwater-contributing only, or watersheds draining to outside the U.S.) Watersheds. <http://coastalgeospatial.noaa.gov/images/caf_interiors.jpg>
CAF - National Coastal Assessment Framework - Land only This geography contains the land portions of the Coastal Assessment Framework (Coastal, Upstream, and Interior components). <http://coastalgeospatial.noaa.gov/images/caf_all.jpg>
CAF - Total Watersheds - Land only This geography contains the land portions of the Coastal Assessment Framework (Coastal, Upstream, and Interior components) dissolved to the whole watershed level (no Coastal nor Upstream delineations remain) as described above. <http://coastalgeospatial.noaa.gov/images/caf_watersheds.jpg>
CAF - Complete Coastal Assessment Framework - Land and Water The complete Coastal Assessment Framework (Coastal, Upstream, Interior, and portions of U.S. Watersheds located outside the U.S.), including both land and water components at the hydrologic cataloging unit level. It is the CAF in its more elemental form. <http://coastalgeospatial.noaa.gov/images/caf_original.jpg>

Process_Description:
The GeoPlan Center downloaded the dataset from the following NOAA Website on June 3rd, 2010. Spatial Trends in Coastal Socioeconomics Website <http://marineeconomics.noaa.gov/socioeconomics/download/download2.html> <http://marineeconomics.noaa.gov/socioeconomics/download/gisdatazip/caf_drainage_areas.zip> The original layer (caf_drainage_areas_wgs84.shp) was in the following projection: GCS_WGS_1984
GeoPlan, during the QA/QC process included the following aspects: (1) Projected data to FGDL Albers HPGN (See "Map Projection Parameters" below). (2) Selected data that intersected the State of Florida. (3) Added a DRAINAGE field and populated it based in the DR_CODE field. (4) Added DESCRIPT item added based on SUB_NAME. (5) Added and populated an ACRES field (6) Upcased all character records.

Resource_Description: DOWNLOADABLE DATA
Distribution_Liability:
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 to any implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, or non-infringement. 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>
