FLUCCS Florida Land Use Land Cover Classification System code

SOURCE LU00 Water Management District of Origin

OTHER Represents the original field for the fluccs code for SFWMD. This field had to be altered by adding a zero before calculating the field FLUCCS in LU00 . The land cover code for SJRWMD (In most cases this is the same as the LUCODE but varies in a small percentage of records) .

LEVEL1 Descriptive text of FLUCCS level 1 classification

LEVEL2 Descriptive text of FLUCCS level 2 classification

DESCRIPT Full text Description of FLUCCS

SOURCE2 All values of SWFWMD_SOUTH indicate that SWFWMD created land use for SFWMD.

LU_SOURCE Source of Land Use data - either LU95 or LU00

MANAGED_AR Managed Area ID, designed by NatureServe. Unique identifier for each Managed Area.

MACODE_BCD Managed Area Code, designed by The Nature Conservancy. Unique identifier for each Managed Area, beginning with "M.USFLHP*".

MANAME Official name of the Managed Area (conservation land), as determined by the managing agency. Note that in some cases a Managed Area is contained within a larger Managed Area (see MAJOR_MA below). To select all of the polygons for a Managed Area that contains one or more smaller Managed Areas, query on both MANAME and MAJOR_MA.

MAJORNAME Official name of the Major Managed Area. Major Managed Area refers to a larger Managed Area that contains the Managed Area in question. For example, Abe Trull Research Natural Area is contained within St. Marks National Wildlife Refuge. For Abe Trull RNA, St. Marks NWR is the Major Managed Area and the MAJOR_MA is St. Marks NWR. When the Managed Area is not part of a larger Managed Area, this attribute item appears as "ZZ". To select all of the polygons for a Managed Area that contains one or more smaller Managed Areas, query on both MANAME and MAJOR_MA.

MATYPE Code for the Managed Area by lead managing agency.

MANAGING_A Name of the lead managing agency for the Managed Area.

MATYPE2 Code for Managed Area by managing agency category.
F = Federal Government

S = State Government

L = Local Government

P = Private Organization or Individual


OWNER Name of the main owner of the Managed Area. Additional owners, if any, are listed in COOWNERs. Note that for some Managed Areas, the managing agency is different from the owner.

COOWNERS Name(s) of additional owner(s) of the managed area (i.e., in addition to the agency listed in OWNER, these agencies own a portion of the managed area).

TOTACRES Total number of acres within the Managed Area. Figures are not GIS calculated (i.e., not polygon-based) unless specified in COMMENTS 1(2). Managed Area acreage figures are obtained directly from the managing agencies.

LTF_ACRES Number of acres within the Managed Area that are in less-than-fee ownership. Figures are not GIS calculated (i.e., not polygon-based) unless specified in COMMENTS 1(2). Acreage figures are obtained directly from the managing agencies.

COUNTY Abbreviation (the first four letters of the county name) for the county or counties where the Managed Area is located (exception: DADE = Miami-Dade County).

PROTSTAT Protection Status.
1 = Category I. This is the highest protection and reserved for lands that are specifically and judiciously managed for biodiversity protection. This category includes lands owned by private entities that are managed for biodiversity conservation, and lands administered by public agencies that are specially designated for biodiversity conservation through legislative action where natural events proceed without interference or are mimicked through management. The governmental agency acting alone cannot change these designations without legislative action and public involvement. Examples include The Nature Conservancy preserves and other private preserves committed to biodiversity conservation, preserves that are state-owned and managed, some national parks, federal wilderness areas, and some local preserves. For FNAI purposes, this designation will generally apply to the following: private sanctuaries and preserves, state preserves and botanical sites, many local preserves purchased and managed as environmentally sensitive lands, most national parks and seashores, national marine sanctuaries, and federal research natural areas.

2 = Category II. This second category applies to lands that are generally managed for their natural values but that may incur additional uses such as habitat manipulation for game species and/or some recreation infrastructure. These activities will likely degrade the quality of natural communities locally but the majority of the land will be managed for biodiversity protection. It also includes public lands with administrative designations for biodiversity conservation. Examples include private preserves managed for game species, national wildlife refuges, BLM areas of critical environmental concern, and state parks. For FNAI purposes, this designation will generally apply to the following: state parks, state reserves, state geological sites, state buffer preserves and aquatic preserves, wildlife and environmental areas, national wildlife refuges, some national park lands, and many locally managed lands purchased for natural resource protection.

3 = Category III. This category applies to lands maintained for multiple uses, including consumptive or recreational values, and not specifically or wholly dedicated to biodiversity conservation. It also includes lands with restricted development rights. Unrestricted public access is one criterion that may cause a property to be placed into this category. Examples include most nondesignated (i.e., multiple-use) public lands administered by the U.S. Department of Agriculture Forest Service and Bureau of Land Management, Department of Defense lands, state forests, regional and large local parks and open space, and private lands protected from subdivision by conservation easements and other title restrictions. For FNAI purposes, this designation will apply to state recreation areas, state gardens and trails, state forests, wildlife management areas, mitigation parks, lands managed by FL DEP Office of Greenways and Trails, most water management district properties, national forests, most Department of Defense lands, many local parks, and conservation easements on private properties. It also includes lands tracked primarily for administrative reasons, such as state historic and archaeological sites, state museums, fish management areas, national memorials, and national fish hatcheries.


MANAGER Name and/or official job title of the current manager of the Managed Area.

MGRINST Manager Institution. Part of the manager's address.

MGRCITY Manager City. City where the manager works. Part of the manger's address.

MGRPHONE Manager Phone. Area code and phone number of the manager.

DESC1 General description of the Managed Area, focusing on natural communities and rare species found within the Managed Area. This attribute has been split into two parts because of the shapefile text field limitation.

DESC2 Description, continued from DESC1

COMMENTS1 General comments concerning a Managed Area. This attribute has been split into two parts because of the shapefile text field limitation.

COMMENTS2 Comments, continued from COMMENTS1.

DIG_COM Source of the digital boundaries and date. Indicates whether GIS boundaries were provided by an outside agency (e.g., "DIGITAL BOUNDARIES PROVIDED BY SOUTHWEST FLORIDA WATER MANAGEMENT DISTRICT") or were transcribed and digitized by FNAI staff as described earlier (i.e., "FNAI MAPPING AND DIGITIZING"). Includes date (month/year) digital boundary file was received by FNAI and/or revisions were made by FNAI staff.

OBJECTID Internal feature number.

SHAPE Feature geometry.

AUTOID No description

SHAPE.AREA No description

MANAME_AB A shortened (abbreviated) name of the Managed Area (used primarily for map labeling).

SHAPE.LEN No description

A note concerning data scale:

Scale is an important factor in data usage. Certain scale 
datasetsare 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.

1:250000 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 analyses. Every 
effort has been made to supply the user with data 
documentation. For additional information, see the 
References sectionand the Data Source Contact section of 
this documentation. For more information regarding scale 
and accuracy, see our web pages at:

DATA LINEAGE SUMMARY:
The following query was run agains LU00. (note: if LU00 didn't exist then LU95 was used)
(FLUCCS >= 4100 AND FLUCCS < 4200)  OR (FLUCCS >= 4400 AND FLUCCS < 4500)

An intersect was run using PUBLICLAND_JUN06 and the selected features from 
LU95 and LU00. The new layer was then renamed PUBLIC_PINELANDS_JUN06.

349 Sliver Polygons were deleted using the eliminate command
10 zero area polygons were deleted
