Description:

Abstract:

This dataset provides an inventory of Florida's erosion problem areas fronting on the Atlantic Ocean, Straits of Florida, Gulf of Mexico, and the roughly seventy coastal barrier tidal inlets. The erosion problem areas are classified as either critical or noncritical and is based on the Critical Erosion Report for 2010. Indicates the condition of shoreline, determined by our staff of Coastal Engineers. This report is used to document areas of change and to help the beach management staff with prioritizing projects and resources to the areas of greatest need. This is an update to the critbeach_jun09.shp layer.

Purpose:

To show the areas and severity of beach erosion as determined by our engineering staff.

Supplemental_Information:

Critically eroded area is a segment of the shoreline where natural processes or human activity have caused or contributed to erosion and recession of the beach or dune system to such a degree that upland development, recreational interests, wildlife habitat, or important cultural resources are threatened or lost. Critically eroded areas may also include peripheral segments or gaps between identified critically eroded areas which, although they may be stable or slightly erosional now, their inclusion is necessary for continuity of management of the coastal system or for the design integrity of adjacent beach management projects.

Attribute_Accuracy:

Attribute_Accuracy_Report:

GeoPlan relied on the integrity of the attribute information within the original data.

Logical_Consistency_Report:

This data is provided 'as is'. GeoPlan relied on the integrity of the original data layer's topology

Completeness_Report:

Lines were drawn to be offshore from the shoreline in our photos. They may not align with other data sources. Since the shapefile is to be used only as a graphic, we did not require any survey quality accuracy. This is the final version for the year 2010.

Process_Description:

GeoPlan downloaded this dataset from the Florida Department of Environmental Protection's GeoData Directory website (<http://www.dep.state.fl.us/gis/datadir.htm>) in May 2011. The data was downloaded in shapefile format and was in the following projection: Albers NAD 83 HARN. During the AQ/QC process the following tasks were undertaken: - Redefined the dataset's projection from FDEP Albers to FGDL Albers. - Upcased all records in the table. - A DESCRIPT field was added based on STATUS. - A FGDLAQDATE field was added based on date downloaded from its source. - Renamed file from COASTAL_CRIT_EROSION_AREAS to critbeach_jun10

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.

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>
