This dataset is a point representation of the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission Gopher Tortoise standard tortoise relocation permit recipient sites. The standard tortoise relocation permit is available for development projects which require the relocation of more than five tortoises on-site or relocation of any number of tortoises off-site. Off-site relocation of tortoises may require testing of tortoises for Upper Respiratory Tract Disease (URTD) at the discretion of the recipient site landowner.
To identify the locations of standard tortoise relocation recipient sites.

Data extracted from the FWC GT Recipient Site application database on a re-occurring basis.
GeoPlan relied on the integrity of the attribute information within the original data.
The data appear to be logically consistent.
The data are complete as of the date included in the "ExDate" field.
The locational accuracy is only as accurate as the location reported by the applicant. No location accuracy checks were performed on the applicant's location.
This data is provided 'as is' and its vertical positional accuracy has not been verified by GeoPlan
Spatial and Attribute Information
The data were queried from the GT_ReciptSite_DB, casting the tabular data into geographic data using the report latitude / longitude pairs. During the query process, the "ExDate" field was added to the data to report the date in which the data were exported from GT_ReciptSite_DB. The geographic data were then projected appropriately and imported into the GIS database. This process has been automated and is scheduled for monthly execution.

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_harn_to_nad_1983_2011 transformation. - Reprojected data to FGDL Albers HARN - Added a DESCRIPT field to attribute table based on UNITNAME - Added a FGDLAQDATE field based on date received from source - Uppercased all fields - Changed name from GopherTortoise_RecipSites_fl_pnt to gopher_tortoise_jun17

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: http://geoplan.ufl.edu/education.html
