Abstract:
FLORIDA FOREVER BOT PROJECTS (layer name FFBOT): This is a polygon data layer for Florida Forever Board of Trustees (BOT) projects (formerly known as CARL projects). This data layer is site-based and contains boundaries of all Florida Forever BOT projects approved by the State's Acquisition and Restoration Council as of April 20, 2018. These lands have been proposed for acquisition because of outstanding natural resources, opportunity for natural resource-based recreation, or historical and archaeological resources. However, these areas may not be currently managed for their resource value. Portions of these projects may have already been acquired by the State and/or its acquisition partners. This is an update to the layer fl_forever_dec17.shp.
Purpose:
To provide a statewide GIS data layer for all Florida Forever Board of Trustees
projects on the current list approved by the Acquisition and Restoration
Council (ARC).

Process_Description:
This GIS data layer was generated by the Florida Natural Areas Inventory (FNAI) using
ArcGIS v 10.6. Boundary information for Florida Forever BOT projects was provided by
the Florida Forever Program, Office of Environmental Services, Division of State Lands,
Florida Department of Environmental Protection. Boundary information was originally in
either digital format or on paper source maps with varying scales. Digital boundary
files were received from various sources and integrated into FFBOT by FNAI staff. In
the case of paper source maps, FNAI staff digitized these boundaries (on screen or
with digitizer) using 1:24000 7.5' USGS quadrangles as base maps. The following
digitizers were used by the FNAI GIS: CalComp DBII, accuracy of +/- .01 inch CalComp
DBIII, accuracy of +/- .005 inch CalComp 9500 Series, accuracy of +/- .005 inch When
digital boundaries from one source overlapped with digital boundaries from another
source, the boundaries were adjusted by FNAI staff to eliminate the overlapping
areas. Adjustments were made based on the best known information about the source of
the boundaries. All overlaps greater than 0.002 meters were removed using this process.

Process_Description:
The GeoPlan Center took the following steps during the QA/QC process:
- Downloaded the dataset from FNAI on 6/11/2018 using this link:
  http://fnai.org/gisdata.cfm (original dataset in shapefile format
  and in a Custom projection).
- Dataset projected into the FGDL Albers HPGN projection.
- DESCRIPT field added based on the PROJECT_NA field. Any records with
  no data in the PROJECT_NA field had their DESCRIPT field calculated as
  'NO DESCRIPT AVAILABLE'.
- FGDLAQDATE field added based on the date the dataset was downloaded
  from source.
- Removed AREA and PERIMETER fields.
- The longest record for each field was found and field character lengths
  were shortened to the appropriate shortest length possible.
- Uppercased fields and records in the dataset, excluding website fields.
- Layer name changed from ffbot_201805.shp to fl_forever_may18.shp.

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'.

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:
