Description:
Abstract:
This dataset contains data on sand sources for the State of Florida. This data represents a combination of several sediment texture datasets offshore. Sediment grain size, percent composition of mud, sand, and clay and water depth are described at each sampling location.
Purpose:
The purpose of these data is to assist coastal managers in the location of compatible sand resources for beach nourishment in order to facilitate the project planning process.

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. 1:125000 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: <http://geoplan.ufl.edu/education.html>. These data are based on interpretation of available information and should not be construed as legally binding.

Process_Description:
This data was downloaded by the FGDL in 2002 from Ocean Planning and Governance Geographic Information System (Ocean GIS) webpage at: <http://www.csc.noaa.gov/opis/html/data.htm> The data was clipped to the State of Florida and then projected to FGDL Albers HPGN. When received, data was in Geographic projection, Datum: NAD83, Spheroid: GRS1980, Units: Decimal degrees.

The dataset's prior history from OPIS is as follows:

These data were acquired from the Florida Geological Survey (FGS), and the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS). Attribute data provided by the FGS and USGS were compiled and joined to an ARC/INFO® coverage for the coasts of Florida and Georgia that had been generated by the NOAA Coastal Services Center using the latitudinal and longitudinal sampling station coordinates. Two additional ARC/INFO® coverages for the west-central coast of Florida were reprojeted and appended. The attributes were simplified. Finally, the South Carolina Department of Natural Resources provided data in the form of an ARC/INFO® coverage. In order to append these files, attributes were simplified.

GeoPlan, during the QA/QC process included the following aspects: (1) reprojected data to FGDL Albers HPGN, (2) extent set to the State of Florida, (3) upcased all character records, and (4) Dropped old internal coverage items: AREA, PERIMETER, SE_SAND_, SE_SAND_ID.
