Description:
Abstract:
This dataset contains reef locations and names for the Florida Keys.
Purpose:
These data were developed to represent reef locations/names in the Florida Keys.
Supplemental_Information:
These data were created in conjunction with the Atlas of Artificial Reefs in Florida 4th edition of the Florida Sea Grant Program. Point locations were generated from the atlas and digitized in ArcInfo at a 1:40,000 scale by FWRI.

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.

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. For more information regarding scale and accuracy, see our webpage at: <http://geoplan.ufl.edu/education.html>

Process_Description:
In Feb 2002, the GeoPlan Center obtained this data in shapefile format from the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission-Fish and Wildlife Research Institute Marine Resources GIS Corporate Data CD. When received, data was in the following projection: Albers, Datum: NAD 83 HPGN, Spheroid: GRS80, Units: Meters.

(1) Reprojected data to FGDL Albers HPGN (2) Upcased all character records (3) Changed original file name from "camra_mrgis_reefnames_1990" to "reefnm" (4) Removed items; Polygonid, Scale, Area, Perimeter and Angle. (5) Dropped old internal coverage items: Reefnms_, Reefnms_id
