Description:

Abstract:

This GIS data set represents the 2004-2005 Wildlife Management Areas administered by the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC), and other associated public use areas. These data are intended as a general reference map only.

Purpose:

This GIS data set was created to represent a comprehensive statewide data set of Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC) Wildlife Management Areas.

Supplemental_Information:

More information on activities permitted in individual areas can be found from the links on FWC's Web site: <http://myfwc.com/recreation/list.html>.

Prior to July 1, 2004, the Fish and Wildlife Research Institute (FWRI) was known as the Florida Marine Research Institute (FMRI). The institute name has not been changed in historical data sets or references to work completed by the Florida Marine Research Institute. The institute name has been changed in references to ongoing research, new research, and contact information.

This data set was created from 24000 scale USGS topo maps and 12000 scale digital imagery (DOQQ's).

THE DATA INCLUDED IN FGDL ARE 'AS IS' AND SHOULD NOT BE CONSTRUED AS LEGALLY BINDING. 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: <http://geoplan.ufl.edu/education.html>

Process_Description:

Wildlife Management Area boundaries were produced by "heads-up" digitizing from 1999 USGS infrared imagery (DOQQ). In specified cases, Florida Natural Areas Inventory (FNAI) boundaries were used and modified based on the DOQQs (see SOURCE attribute). All boundaries are based on information from PDF maps of the Wildlife Management Areas from the FWC Outdoor Recreation Web site: <http://myfwc.com/recreation/list.html> and <http://www.wildflorida.org/hunting/default.asp>.

Process_Description:

GeoPlan received this data in shapefile format on CD-ROM from the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission-Fish and Wildlife Research Institute on June 6, 2006. When received, the data was in Geographic projection Albers NAD 83, Spheroid: GRS 80. The file was projected to FGDL Albers HARN.

- Reprojected data to FGDL Albers HPGN - Added a DESCRIPT field to attribute table based on NAME - Added a FGDLAQDATE field based on date received from source - Renamed shapefile from wildlife_mgt_areas_fl_poly to FWCMAS_2005 - Recalculated SHAPE.LEN and SHAPE.AREA using X-Tools - Upcased all records in the attribute table
