- Abstract:
-
The MPA Inventory is a comprehensive catalog that provides detailed information for
existing marine protected areas in the United States. The inventory provides geospatial
boundary information (in polygon format) and classification attributes that seek to define
the conservation objectives, protection level, governance and related management criteria
for all sites in the database. The comprehensive inventory of federal, state and territorial
MPA sites provides governments and stakeholders with access to information to make
better decisions about the current and future use of place-based conservation. The
information also will be used to inform the development of the national system of marine
protected areas as required by Executive Order 13158. This is an update to the mpa_mar10
layer.
- Purpose:
-
The inventory represents a collection of data compiled from various federal, state, tribal
and territorial entities to provide a publicly available source of comprehensive information
on place-based marine conservation efforts under U.S. federal, state, territorial, local, and
tribal jurisdiction.
- Supplemental_Information:
-
This dataset consists of original boundaries as represented by the managing agencies,
including any terrestrial components of the protected areas. Only the sub-tidal components
of the areas meet the definition of an MPA. Version Notes: 2011: This version contains
boundary updates during the 2010 calendar year. Boundaries were added for new MPAs
created in California. Boundaries for Hawaii, American Samoa, Florida and National
Marine Fisheries Service MPAs were added for sites already in the MPA Inventory. All
National Park Service and National Estuarine Research Reserve and some National
Wildlife Refuge boundaries were updated with original data. 2010: This version contains
boundaries for all sites from authoritative sources as updated between 6/2009-12/2009.
New data have been added for multiple states and territories, including Alaska, Florida,
Maryland, North Carolina, New Hampshire, Ohio, Pennsylvania, US Virgin Islands and
Wisconsin. Numerous shipwreck sites represented as latitude/longitude coordinate points
were converted to polygons using a 300-meter radius buffer. NMFS sites have been verified
against US Code of Federal Regulations.

- Data_Quality_Information:
-
- Attribute_Accuracy:
-
- Attribute_Accuracy_Report:
-
GeoPlan relied on the integrity of the attribute information within
the original data.
- Logical_Consistency_Report:
-
Inventory data were collected from various sources at various spatial scales. The datasets
collected were not resampled and are presented in their original form as provided from the
contributing agencies, with the exception for a variety of sites that were digitized from
coordinates provided by governing agencies.
- Completeness_Report:
-
This version of the MPA Inventory contains geospatial boundaries for 1,510 of the 1,680
identified marine protected areas, and is considered complete as of March 2011. New
and/or altered sites that are not currently present in the database will be added annually, as
data are made available. Please note that site inclusion into the MPA inventory required
that the site meet specific definition and conservation criteria that are thoroughly detailed
on the www.mpa.gov website.

- Process_Description:

The GeoPlan Center downloaded the dataset from the following NOAA
Website on January 5th, 2012; National Marine Protected Areas Center Website
<http://www.mpa.gov/dataanalysis/mpainventory/>. The feature class was
packaged in a geodatabase and named MPA_Inventory_Sites_2011_0314_WGSDD_FIN.
The feature class was in the WGS_1984 geographical coordinate system.
GeoPlan, during the QA/QC process included the following aspects:
- Projected data to FGDL Albers HPGN and exported the feature class as a
shapefile.
- Selected data fell within proximity of the coast of Florida. Some polygons had
to be cut in an edit session in order to extract the relevant data.
- Added DESCRIPT item added based on Site_Name.
- Added and populated FGDLAQDATE.
- Upcased all character records.

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:
