GENERAL DESCRIPTION:
This dataset contains a representation of protected lands used in the Alternative 2070 scenario from the Florida 2070 project. Florida 2070 and its companion project Water 2070 were a joint effort of 1000 Friends of Florida, the University of Florida's GeoPlan Center and the Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services. The work was completed in December 2016. Florida 2070 produced three land use/population distribution scenarios Baseline 2010, Trend 2070 and Alternative 2070. The two 2070 scenarios are based on a population projection derived from data produced by the Florida Bureau of Economic and Business Research. This projection suggests approximately 15 million more people will live in Florida in 2070 than did in 2010. The Baseline 2010 captures the patterns of land use and associated population distribution that existed in 2010. Trend 2070 captures a potential pattern of land use and associated population distribution for 2070, should all new development occur in greenfields at the same gross urban density as was present in each county in 2010. Alternative 2070 captures a potential pattern of land use and associated population distribution for 2070 that assumes increased levels of redevelopment of existing urban areas, increased gross urban densities in greenfields over those of 2010, and protection for some agricultural and natural lands. Water 2070 uses the three Florida 2070 scenarios to estimate development and agriculture demand for each census block expressed in gallons per day per acre.

The Florida 2070 Project datasets should not be used below the project's regional scales.
Specifically these datasets should not be used at the county and/or municipal scale.
For more information on the projects regional scales please see the Florida 2070 final technical report:

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:

Please Note: This layer has been subdivided using the ArcToolbox Dice 
Geoprocessing tool. The original layer, derived during the Raster to Vector export 
process, contained polygons with vertex counts that were too large to use 
(Godzilla Polygons) and caused drawing and geoprocessing errors. The Repair 
Geometry Geoprocessing tool was used to clean up any geometry issues that were 
created during the Dice process. The MODEL_ID field contains the original 
RASTER to Vector polygon identification number (Before Dice Process) and is 
therefore not unique for each polygon.
