FGDLAQDATE |
Date the data was aqcuired by GeoPlan. |
|
OBJECTID |
Internal feature number. |
|
PERIMETER |
Perimeter of the USGS Hydrologic Unit in meters. |
|
HUC |
USGS Hyrdologic Unit Code.
|
|
EXTHUC |
Extended HUC - EXTHUC is an eight digit code assigned by USGS to each basin. The digits signify a hydrologic hierarchy: - the first two digits denote the primary tributary basin - the second two digits denote the secondary tributary basin - the third two digits denote the tertiary tributary basin - the fourth two digits denote the quaternary tributary basin - For example, in HUC 03080101 any basin with an EXTHUC starting with 15------ is part of the same drainage basin (Jane Green Creek). - If a basin's EXTHUC contains 99 (99------, --99----, ----99--, or ------99), this indicates that other basins flow into it. This is important for determining the total area of any drainage basin. For example, in HUC 03080101, the EXTHUC for Tyson Creek is 15509900. This means that other basins flow into it, and to determine the total drainage area for Tyson Creek you must also include the drainage area for all EXTHUCs within HUC 03080101 starting with 1550 (15505000, 15505500, 15505700, and 15506000). None of these tributary basins have a 99 in the EXTHUC, and therefore, none have any additional basins flowing into them. - EXTHUC = 99000000 is used for the main waterbodies that each HUC is based on, i.e. the main stem of the St. Johns River, Ocklawaha River, Indian River Lagoon, etc.. These mainstem basins are more uniquely described by the planning unit codes (pu and pu-id) or pk_basin. |
|
BASIN |
USGS basin name. |
|
FEATURE |
Type of waterbody - The names of FEATUREs is a descriptor that attempts to segregate drainage areas into classes. The separation of the classes was an attempt to combine size, type, and artificiality into useful divisions for plotting. The definitions of these descriptors are by Don Fouse (USGS Tallahassee), followed by definitions from the "International Glossary of Hydrology" compiled by a joint committee of the World Meteorological Organization and the United Nations Educational, Scientific, and Cultural Organization. Don's definitions are tailored to Florida or to GIS needs.
|
|
PK_BASIN |
Basin/watershed number; unique statewide ID (primary key). |
|
UFLAG |
Update flag which indicates if the polygon was revised from the original USGS polygon.
|
|
DATE_ |
Indicates month and year of updates/edits. |
|
COMMON |
Species common name. |
|
TSN |
Taxonomic Serial Number - For species that are recently described, or otherwise do not have a TSN assigned, the number "1" follows the TSN for the closest relative from which they were split. In this layer, the three recently described species are the shoal bass (1681631), grayfin redhorse (1639321), and Southern striped shiner (1638321), which are split from redeye bass (168163), blacktail redhorse (163932), and striped shiner (163832), respectively.

This data is provided 'as is'. GeoPlan relied on the integrity of the original data layer's topology |
This data is provided 'as is' by GeoPlan and is complete to our knowledge. |
GeoPlan relied on the integrity of the attribute information within the original data. |
The focus is on fishes that occur in freshwater. |
The purpose was to identify locations of fish species that are listed as rare or imperiled based upon federal, state, FCREPA. and the Southeastern Fishes Council listings. |

THE DATA INCLUDED IN FGDL ARE 'AS IS' AND SHOULD NOT BE CONSTRUED AS LEGALLY BINDING. 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.

Point location data from rarefishpt.shp and the Florida Museum of Natural History were used to select watersheds from the FDEP's Basin97 watershed coverage. The selected watersheds were converted to a shapefile and intersected with the rarefishpt.shp file to attach the species information. Process Date: 20031203 |
