Description:
Abstract:
This dataset contains the National Marine Sanctuary Boundaries for the State of Florida.
Purpose:
OPIS provides marine resource managers with timely and equitable access to downloadable data, cutting-edge online mapping functionality, and guidance on how to use GIS in a meaningful way with respect to ocean management. THE DATA INCLUDED IN THIS APPLICATION ARE BASED ON INTERPRETATION OF AVAILABLE INFORMATION AND SHOULD NOT BE CONSTRUED AS LEGALLY BINDING.

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:
Attribute_Accuracy_Explanation:
The Ocean Planning Information System (OPIS) is an Internet-based, regional marine GIS. Its study area extends from the coastal zones of the Carolinas, Georgia, and Florida to the exclusive economic zone, including a variety of maritime boundaries. OPIS was developed to provide coastal and ocean resource managers in the Southeast with access to regional digital geographic mapping information and technologies to facilitate coordinated decision making within and across the multi layered U.S. ocean management framework. Special emphasis is placed on the federal ocean and coastal management and governance framework, and efforts are ongoing to develop similar data sets for state and local level policy frameworks.
Logical_Consistency_Report:
These data are believed to be logically consistent, although not tested. Geometry appears topologically clean.
Completeness_Report:
This dataset covers the entire Ocean GIS area (see abstract). Spatial and attribute properties are believed to be complete, although attribute information has been simplified. Geometric thresholds from original data are preserved. No test have been completed for exhaustiveness.
Positional_Accuracy:
Horizontal_Positional_Accuracy:
Horizontal_Positional_Accuracy_Report:
The accuracy of this dataset is based on source data that is assumed to meet National Map Accuracy Standards.
Vertical_Positional_Accuracy:
Vertical_Positional_Accuracy_Report:
This data is provided 'as is' and its vertical positional accuracy has not been verified by GeoPlan

Process_Description:
Coordinates from the CFR were used to build a 'generate' file in ARC/INFO. An ARC/INFO coverage was created from this file and reprojected. Attributes were added. Monitor NMS was a point-buffer boundary and Gray's Reef a four point polygon. The datum for Monitor and Gray's Reef NMS coordinates was ASSUMED to be NAD27.

Process_Description:
GeoPlan downloaded this dataset from the NOAA Coastal Services Center website (<http://www.csc.noaa.gov/opis/html/data.htm>) on 710/2006. The data was received as a shapefile in projection: Albers, NAD 83, GRS 80. The dataset was then projected from NAD 83 to FGDL Albers HPGN. Two records were deleted as they were not located in Florida (Gray's Reef and Monitor National Marine Sanctuary).

- Reprojected data to FGDL Albers HPGN - Added a DESCRIPT field to attribute table based on UNIT_NAME - Added a FGDLAQDATE field based on date of download from source - Deleted OBJECTID, SHAPE_area, and SHAPE_len fields - Added AREA and PERIMETER fields using X-tools - Renamed file from natl_marine_sanctuaries to nmarsa
