Description:
Abstract:
Watershed locations of rare and imperiled fish collections compiled from various sources. This is an update to the FGDL layer RARIMPWATERS_2013.shp
Purpose:
The purpose was to identify locations of freshwater fish species that are listed as rare or imperiled based upon federal, state, FCREPA. and the Southeastern Fishes Council listings.
Supplemental_Information:
Prior to July 1, 2004, the Fish and Wildlife Research Institute (FWRI) was known as the Florida Marine Research Institute (FMRI). The institute name has not been changed in historical data sets or references to work completed by the Florida Marine Research Institute. The institute name has been changed in references to ongoing research, new research, and contact information.

Process_Description:
Point location data from rarefishpt2014.shp and the Florida Museum of Natural History were used to select watersheds from the USGS NHD watershed coverage at HUC 12 level. The selected watersheds were converted to a shapefile and intersected with the rarefishpt2014.shp file to attach the species information.

- The data (rarimpwaters_2014.shp) was originally in the following projection: Albers, NAD 83, HARN, GRS 80. This layer was redefined to the FGDL Albers NAD83 Harn Projection. - DESCRIPT field was added based on HUC12 Code Name which was gathered from the USGS Watershed Boundary Dataset (WBD). - FGDLAQDATE field added to indicate date of download by FGDL. - Upcased all fields except the scientific name field.

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>
