Description:
Abstract:
The Florida panther (Puma concolor coryi) mortality database contains all known and documented mortalities including known or likely causes. This dataset reflects dead and/or injured Florida panthers from 1972 to Jul 2012. This is an update to the panther_mortality_2010 layer.
Purpose:
To monitor Florida panther mortalities and document their locations and causes.
Supplemental_Information:
Locations for some mortalities are unknown and are given spatial coordinates of 0 degrees longitude and 0 degrees latitude. These points were not included in the spatial file.

Process_Description:
Features with 0 latitude and longitude coordinates were removed from the spatial file. A point in Georgia which had incorrect UTM coordinates was corrected
Process_Date: 20120327
Process_Step:
Process_Description:
Data dated after 2011 are converted to shapefile quarterly from the panther mortality database. This shapefile is then appended to the edited 2011 (containing data from 2011 and previous) shapefile using the merge tool.
Process_Step:
Process_Description:
GeoPlan received the data on 8/2/2012 from the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission via email from Rebecca Telesco (Rebecca.Telesco@MyFWC.com). The data was projected in Florida Modified Albers with the North American 1983 Harn geographical Coordinate System. During the QA/QC process, GeoPlan performed the following tasks:
- Redefined the dataset's projection to FGDL Albers. - Removed 1 feature located in Georgia. - Upcased all fields. - Added a DESCRIPT field based on Location. - Added FGDLAQDATE based on date FGDL acquired the data. - Renamed the dataset from panther_mortality_2012Q2 to panther_mortality_2012

Resource_Description: DOWNLOADABLE DATA
Distribution_Liability:
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: <http://geoplan.ufl.edu/education.html>
