TITLE: FLORIDA NATIONAL ESTUARINE RESEARCH RESERVES
Geodataset Name: FLNERR Geodataset Type: SHAPE Geodataset Feature: POLYGON
GENERAL DESCRIPTION:
This dataset contains the official boundaries for the three National Estuarine Research Reserves that lie within the boundaries of Florida.

FEATURE ATTRIBUTE TABLES CODES AND VALUES:
Item Item description SHAPE Data attribute inherent to the ESRI shapefile format, which defines the data as a point, polyline, or polygon. AREA Area of the polygon in square meters PERIMETER Perimeter of the polygons in meters NAME Field contains the name of the National Estuarine Research Reserve; each polygon contains one of three possible values: 1. ROOKERY BAY NATIONAL ESTUARINE RESEARCH RESERVE 2. APALACHICOLA NATIONAL ESTUARINE RESEARCH RESERVE 3. GUANA-TOLOMATO-MATANZAS NATIONAL ESTUARINE RESEARCH RESERVE DESCRIPT Based on NAME
USER NOTES:
These are the official boundaries for reference purposes only. The coverage is not suitable for large-scale, survey-level analysis (e.g. comparison against property boundaries, etc.). Multiple polygons comprise the GUANA-TOLOMATO-MATANZAS NATIONAL ESTUARINE RESEARCH RESERVE. These internal boundaries were intentionally not dissolved because this is how the original data were received. These boundaries are assumed to be important.
FGDL QUALITY ASSURANCE STATUS:
-set tolerances to FGDL standards -reprojected coverage to GeoPlan Albers -added DESCRIPT item based on NAME -Corrected spelling of APALACHICOLA NATIONAL ESTUARINE RESEARCH RESERVE -changed all records to uppercase
DATA LINEAGE SUMMARY:
Three single-precision shapefiles in Albers, HPGN coordinates were received by FMRI from FDEP/CAMA on 10/1/99. FMRI converted these shapefiles into one double-precision, Albers NAD83 Arc/Info coverage on 10/14/99. This coverage was received by GeoPlan on 10/28/99.
