USER NOTES:
Visual checked by SFESO GIS Specialist
GeoPlan received this dataset from the United States Fish and
Wildlife Service via download in March 2007. The data
downloaded was in shapefile format and was in the following
projection: Albers HPGN.
|
This data is provided 'as is' by GeoPlan and is complete to our
knowledge.
|
GeoPlan relied on the integrity of the attribute information within
the original data.
|
If a project falls within the focus area impacts to the Florida Panther should
be assessed and consultation with the Fish and Wildlife Service should be initiated.
|
This data is provided 'as is' and its horizontal positional accuracy
has not been verified by GeoPlan
|
This data is provided 'as is' and its vertical positional accuracy
has not been verified by GeoPlan

THE DATA INCLUDED IN FGDL ARE 'AS IS' AND SHOULD NOT BE CONSTRUED

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:

DATA LINEAGE SUMMARY:
The Florida Panther Consultation Area north of the Caloosahatchee River was
redefined as the Fisheating Creek-Babcock/Webb and eastern Fisheating Creek
patches identified in Thatcher et all (2006) In addition, the two dispersal corridors
to the next nearest patches. Avon Park and Myakka State Forest, were include
to provide connectivity. Habitat value categories 1 and 2 were used to define the
dispersal corridors. The corridors were extended north to arbitrary end points that
would insure good connectivity to adjacent patches.
