- 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_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

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:
