Abstract:
This dataset contains mangroves in the coastal areas of Florida as mapped in the September 2003 delivery of Environmental Sensitivity Index (ESI) shoreline classification polygons.
Purpose: This data set represents mangrove areas around coastal Florida.

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>

Data_Quality_Information:
Attribute_Accuracy:
Attribute_Accuracy_Report:
GeoPlan relied on the integrity of the attribute information within the original data.
Quantitative_Attribute_Accuracy_Assessment:
Quantitative_Attribute_Accuracy_Assessment:
Attribute_Accuracy_Explanation:
These data do not represent mangroves in Florida's interior areas, and they do not represent "fringing" mangroves. However, "fringing" coastal mangroves are represented in the companion data set "mangrove_coastal_esi_arc", which was derived from the ESI arc classification data set.
Quantitative_Attribute_Accuracy_Assessment:
Attribute_Accuracy_Explanation:
Attributes are as accurate as the esi_classification_poly layer that RPI estimates to be "good" given the years of ESI experience, the data input methodology, the quality control review sessions, and the digital logical consistency checks.
Quantitative_Attribute_Accuracy_Assessment:
Attribute_Accuracy_Explanation:
The ESI shoreline position is primarily based on the recent LULC data provided by the state WMDs, updated in places using recent DOQQs. The overall positional accuracy of the shoreline is therefore similar to the positional accuracy of the primary source materials, which may vary by WMD. It is estimated that the positional accuracy of "breaks" between individual ESI shoreline classes is roughly 50-60 meters, based on previous ESI research conducted for NOAA over the last two years. Due to the interpretation of DOQQs as a part of this project, the ESI classification update may exceed this positional accuracy.
Logical_Consistency_Report: These data are logically consistent.
Completeness_Report:
These data do not include mangrove polygons beyond the extent of the ESI project. These data also do not include thin areas of "fringing" mangrove.
Positional_Accuracy:
Horizontal_Positional_Accuracy:
Horizontal_Positional_Accuracy_Report:

Process_Description:
GIS Librarian reselected polygons with a value of MANGROVE = "Y" from the ESI classification polygons. Research Planning Inc. (RPI) developed the ESI classification polygons based on the 1994-1995 land use and land cover for all of Florida's water management districts, with the exception of the Southwest Florida Water Management District (SWFWMD), which was classified based on 1999 DOQQs. At FWRI's request, RPI also reworked some shoreline in the South Florida Water Management District (SFWMD), which had poor positional accuracy.

Process_Description:
The data received from the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission Fish and Wildlife Research Institute was in North American Datum of 1983 and projected to Albers HPGN.

-Reprojected data to FGDL Albers HPGN -Renamed shapefile from mangrove_coastal_esi_poly to esi_coastal_mangroves -Added a DESCRIPT field with a value of MANGROVE -Deleted MANGROVE and OBJECTID fields from attribute table.
