DESCRIPT FGDL added field based on MARINA

FGDLAQDATE FGDL added field based on date received from source

AUTOID Unique ID added by GeoPlan

In general, null values in the original database have been converted to zeros. So a 
0 in a field generally indicates that a question was not answered.

It is important to note that some facilities may have fit the definition for multiple types 
of facilities, in these cases all types were noted in the facility s record:
Commercial marina - A boating facility of any size, at which any boater can rent 
space for their boat - if space is available.
Dockominium marina - A specific type of marina in which spaces are privately 
owned. Owners might pay a monthly fee for upkeep, but do not pay a monthly rental 
fee. These facilities do not include condominium housing with an associated 
boating facility unless berthing/storage is purchased independently from the condo 
unit.
Private club - A facility for which a membership is required in order to make use of 
the boating infrastructure. Generally, transients, or boaters who are members of a 
club in another location may be permitted to use an affiliated private club. Clubs may 
be part of larger facilities, but they do not include condo complexes in which living in 
the complex is the only prerequisite for having access to the boating facility.
Condominium housing - A condominium development with an associated docking 
component available for use with the purchase of a condo. Condominium housing 
does not include situations in which the berthing must be purchased independently 
from the condo unit.
Publicly owned and privately operated - A boating facility owned by a government 
entity, but with a private management company.
Publicly owned and operated - A boating facility owned by a government entity, with 
the management staff on the government s payroll.
Hotel/motel - A hotel or motel with an associated boating component. Hotel/motel 
does not include multi-family developments in which units are rented seasonally.
Restaurant - An eating and/or drinking establishment with an associated 
berthing/docking component.
Multi-family/Apartment building - A housing situation, other than condominium 
housing, with multiple residential units under one roof or in a compound having an 
associated boating component. This includes multi-family arrangements where units 
are rented seasonally.
Boat sales/services - A boat sales or service company with boating infrastructure.
Commercial business - A commercial business with boating infrastructure.
Mobile home park/campground - A property with multiple mobile homes. This 
includes both residential communities where the mobile homes are more-or-less 
permanent homes (either rented or sold), and properties where mobile homes are 
transient recreational vehicles towed to a site for a short period of time. Note: While 
there are often significant differences between a permanent mobile home park and 
a campground/RV park, the type of boating infrastructure found at these normally 
consists of communal docks, individual docks, or a combination of the two. While 
the distinction between the two land use types (permanent residential community
versus transient visitor accommodation) is not made in the database, detailed 
information on the types of boating infrastructure and how they are managed (e.g., 
whether berthing is rented, sold or available for transient boaters) is captured.
Docks only - Boat docks not affiliated with any shoreside facility.
Government only - Boating facility available for government use only.
Vacant - An otherwise vacant property with associated boating infrastructure.
Unknown - Boating infrastructure associated with an unknown shoreside facility.
Other residential - A residential property such as a single-family residence where 
boating infrastructure is available.
Other - Boating infrastructure associated with a type of facility not described above. 
(Field personnel were asked to provide a description of the facility type).
Hand-launch only - A ramp not designed for launching a boat on a trailer. Often 
these are for canoes and kayaks only.
Stand-alone boat ramp - A ramp that is not part of a facility listed above.

GeoPlan relied on the integrity of the attribute information within
the original data.
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.

The original data set was produced during the Statewide Boating Access Facilities 
Inventory and Economic Study, FWC contract Number 04/05-23 and delivered by 
the contractor August 30, 2009. The purpose of that study was to create a 
comprehensive inventory of publicly accessible boat access facilities and conduct 
several economic studies to quantify economic impact of recreational boating; 
estimate present and projected supply/demand; conduct site suitability analysis for 
potential or expanded facilities; and estimate capital costs for new or improved 
facilities.

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:

DATA LINEAGE SUMMARY:
These data were taken from the Florida Boating Access Facilities Inventory and 
Economic Study including a pilot study for Lee County: A Report to the Florida Fish 
and Wildlife Conservation Commission on August 30, 2009.
The project entailed several data collection efforts:
A comprehensive statewide inventory of coastal and inland boating access 
facilities;
A survey of recreational boaters;
A visual survey (using aerial photographs and GIS data) of the number and type of 
boat berthing opportunities at a sample of waterfront residential properties in 63 
counties; and 
A survey of a sample of public agencies for data and information on planned or 
programmed capital investments in boating facilities.

Please see the source report (under Cross Reference) for more details about these 
methods.
Process Date: 20090830

Data were exported from Access to Excel. The data were added to ArcMap using the add X, Y data tool and data from multiple tables were joined based on Marina ID field. The data were exported to a feature class. Attributes FAC_TYPE and WATER_ACC were added to create text fields describing the types of facilities and types of water accessed. The county field was converted from a numeric code to the text name of the county. Process Date: 2013
Several fields were merged in order to make the data more human-readable. New fields were created including "Water_Type," "Docking," "Ramp_Type," "Electric," "Fuel," "Amenities," and "Repair" in order to provide a domain for human readable language and consolidation of several "yes/no" fields. Process Date: 20140801
GeoPlan downloaded this data in shapefile format from the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission-Fish and Wildlife Research Institute FTP site on June 19, 2015. GeoPlan then completed the following process steps: - Reprojected from Albers NAD 83 (PCS_Albers) to FGDL Albers HARN - Changed field lengths from 254 to more appropriate lengths - Added a DESCRIPT field to attribute table based on NAME - Added a FGDLAQDATE field based on date received from source - Uppercased all records in attribute table Process Date: 20150803
