Attribute_Accuracy_Explanation:
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.
Quantitative_Attribute_Accuracy_Assessment:
Attribute_Accuracy_Explanation:
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.
Quantitative_Attribute_Accuracy_Assessment:
Attribute_Accuracy_Explanation:
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.
Quantitative_Attribute_Accuracy_Assessment:
Attribute_Accuracy_Explanation:
Scale is an important factor in data usage. Certain scale datasets are not suitable for some project, analysis, or modelling 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. 1:250000 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 analyses. 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 web pages at:

Process_Description:
Downloaded date as interchange file from <http://www.csc.noaa.gov/> and imported as a coverage. The coverage was then converted to a shapefile, reprojected to FGDL Albers HPGN, clipped to only cover the State of Florida, undefinable attribute items were dropped and DESCRIPT item was added.

Process_Step:
Process_Description:
GeoPlan, during the QA/QC process included the following aspects: (1) Projected data to FGDL Albers HPGN (See "Map Projection Parameters" below). (2) Clipped to the State of Florida (3) The following fields were dropped from the orginal SHELF_ID FNODE_ TNODE_ LPOLY_ RPOLY_ CONSHELF_ CONSHELF_I FNODE_1 TNODE_1 LPOLY_1 RPOLY_1 SHELF_ SHELF_ID D0 D3 D5 D6 D10 D12 D18 D20 D30 D40 D50 D60 D100 D120 D200 D240 D300 D400 D500 D1000 D1200 D150 D1800 D2400 D3000 D6000 D9000 D555 D666 D777 D888 D889 D999 LENGTH FEET SCALE CHART D600

Process_Description:
The dataset's prior history from NOAA is as follows: The exclusive economic zone (EEZ) boundary was clipped to the Southeast Ocean GIS area of interest (see abstract). Coordinates were left unaltered. This EEZ segment was then used to form the seaward boundary of this data layer.
Process_Date: 19980930
Process_Step:
Process_Description:
The federal/state boundary from Minerals Management Service was clipped to the southeast Ocean GIS area of interest (see abstract). These data were edited in ESRI's ArcEdit to create the final polygons.
