Data_Quality_Information:

Attribute_Accuracy:

Attribute_Accuracy_Report:

Relied on the integrity of the attribute information within the original data layer.

Quantitative_Attribute_Accuracy_Assessment:

Attribute_Accuracy_Explanation:

Scale is an important factor in data usage. Certain scale datasets are not suitable for some project, analysis, or modelling 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>. These data are based on interpretation of available information and should not be construed as legally binding.

Quantitative_Attribute_Accuracy_Assessment:

Attribute_Accuracy_Explanation:

This shapefile represents the geographic extent of the Marine Plastic Pollution Research and Control Act as it applies to the coastal and ocean regions of the State of Florida. It is based on interpretation of legal and academic documents. All zones (0-3 nautical mile, 3-12 nautical mile, 12-25 nautical mile and 25-Exclusive Economic Zone) were created by buffering the Federal/State boundary.

Users must assume responsibility to determine the appropriate use of these data. NOT INTENDED FOR LEGAL PURPOSES.

Process_Description:

This data was downloaded in shapefile format by the FGDL in 2002 from Ocean Planning and Governance Geographic Information System (Ocean GIS) webpage at: <http://www.csc.noaa.gov/opis/html/data.htm>. Data was reprojected to FGDL Albers HPGN, and clipped to the State of Florida. When received, data was in Geographic projection, Datum: NAD83, Spheroid: GRS1980, Units: Decimal degrees.

Process_Date: 2002

Process_Step:

Process_Description:

GeoPlan, during the QA/QC process included the following aspects: (1) Reprojected data to FGDL Albers HPGN (See "Map Projection Parameters" below (2) Extent set to the State of Florida (3) Upcased all character records (4) DESCRIPT item was added based on the item UNIT_NAME (5) Dropped old internal coverage items: AREA, PERIMETER, MARPOL_, MARPOL_ID
