Description:

Abstract:

This dataset contains cartographic representation of the coastal counties in the the State of Florida that are vulnerable to coastal erosion and inundation from sea level rise or storm surge.

Purpose:

The purpose of these data is to provide a cartographic representation of the coastal zones in state of Florida that are vulnerable to coastal erosion and inundation from sea level rise or storm surge. This data set was selected to provide coastal managers with a comprehensive coastal hazards data layer for view in combination with the many other data layers provided. In addition, these data may highlight areas of concern that may require further attention or investigation.

Attribute_Accuracy:

Attribute_Accuracy_Report:

Relied on the integrity of the attribute information within the original data layer.

Quantitative_Attribute_Accuracy_Assessment:

Attribute_Accuracy_Explanation:

The Ocean Planning Information System (OPIS) 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. OPIS was developed to provide coastal and ocean resource managers in the Southeast access to regional digital geographic mapping information and technologies to facilitate 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 Coastal Hazards Database for the U.S. East and Gulf Coasts, and the corresponding coastal vulnerability indices that may be derived, may be used by coastal planning, research, and management agencies to identify shorelines at risk from coastal erosion and inundation. This database should be used to identify areas where further study is necessary. OPIS 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: <http://www.geoplan.ufl.edu/education.html>

Process_Description:

The original coverage (gcgrid) was projected and appended to ecgrid to represent the entire OPIS study area.

Process_Date: 2000

Process_Step:

Process_Description:

GeoPlan, during the QA/QC process included the following aspects: (1) Reprojected data to FGDL Albers HPGN (See "Map Projection Parameters" below) (2) Upcased all character records

Process_Date: 2002

Process_Step:

Process_Description:

Downloaded dataset from <http://www.csc.noaa.gov/opis/html/data.htm> as an interchange file and imported to coverage using ArcToolBox. Converted from Coverage to Shapefile, then reprojected and clipped to the extent of Florida. All lowercase character items within attribute table were then upcased. When received, data was in Albers projection, Datum: NAD83, Spheroid: GRS80, Units: Decimal Degrees.
