Abstract:
This GIS data set represents the 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. More information on activities permitted in individual areas can be found from the links on FWC's Web site: http://myfwc.com/viewing/recreation/
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:
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.

Chassahowitka WMA, Andrews WMA, Bullfrog Creek Mitigation Park WEA, 
Crooked Lake WEA, Lake Wales Ridge WEA and Platt Mitigation Park 
WEA were created by using DOR parcel data, with exceptions below. Contact 
the individual county property appraisers for questions on accuracy of parcel data.
-Bullfrog Creek WMA was created using parcel data, but in the Legal Description 
it cites the STR line, but the STR line did not exactly match with parcel data, 
so parcel data was used as default.

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. All boundaries are based on information from PDF 
maps of the Wildlife Management Areas from the FWC Web site:

Process_Description:
GeoPlan downloaded this data in shapefile format from the Florida Fish 
and Wildlife Conservation Commission-Fish and Wildlife Research Institute 
FTP site on June 21, 2017. The data was received as a shapefile in projection: 
NAD_1983_2011_Florida_GDL_Albers. The dataset was then projected from 
NAD_1983_2011_Florida_GDL_Albers to FGDL Albers HARN using 
NAD_1983_To_HARN_Florida transformation.

This is the first time we've received this dataset in NAD_1983_2011_Florida_GDL_Albers. 
Previously it came in a custom PCS Albers projection. Projecting using the following
transformation: nad_1983_harn_to_nad_1983_2011 has introduced a shift between 
0.5 and 1 meter.

- Reprojected data to FGDL Albers HARN
- 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_APR17
- Deleted fields SHAPE.LEN and SHAPE.AREA
- Upcased all records in the attribute table

Resource_Description: DOWNLOADABLE DATA
Distribution_Liability:
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:
