These data are logically consistent. |
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. |
GeoPlan relied on the integrity of the attribute information within the original data. |
This data set is in the public domain, and the recipient may not assert any proprietary rights thereto nor represent it to anyone as other than a FWC-FWRI produced data set; it is provided "as-is" without warranty of any kind, including, but not limited to, the implied warranties of merchantability and fitness for a particular purpose. The user assumes all responsibility for the accuracy and suitability of this data set for a specific application.

This data set represents mangrove areas around coastal Florida. |
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. |
This data is provided 'as is' and its vertical positional accuracy has not been verified by GeoPlan |
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.

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 Date: 200404 |
