Description:
Abstract:
This Dataset represents the Designation of Critical Habitat for the St. Andrew beach mouse.
Purpose:
GIS layer of final designation of critical habitat for St. Andrew beach mouse
Supplemental_Information:
The GIS files and their associated coordinates are not the definitive source for determining the critical habitat boundaries for the St. Andrew beach mouse. As noted in the final rule, the textual unit descriptions constitute the legal source for determining the critical habitat boundaries. Users of these GIS files are cautioned to refer to the final textual unit descriptions provided in the final rule as the definitive source in determining critical habitat areas. When determining critical habitat boundaries, we make every effort to avoid designating areas that lack the species primary constituent elements, such as buildings, paved areas, lawns, and other unsuitable areas. Any such areas inadvertently left inside critical habitat boundaries are not considered part of the unit. Interested parties are encouraged to contact the Service for a definitive finding of whether a location is within critical habitat.

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>

Data_Quality_Information:
Attribute_Accuracy:
Attribute_Accuracy_Report:
GeoPlan relied on the integrity of the attribute information within the original data.
Logical_Consistency_Report:
These data appear to be logically consistent. No feature errors were identified
Completeness_Report:
The data represents sites with known use by one of the three species of beach mice mapped. Mapped sites were identified based on knowledge of biologists. Ommissions may be possible due to the extnent of coverage and difficulty of surveying all coastal dune areas
Positional_Accuracy:
Horizontal_Positional_Accuracy:
Horizontal_Positional_Accuracy_Report:
Horizontal accuracy was not tested; however, data was created by digiziting on screen using 1 meter, digital orthophoto quater quads at a view scale of 1:1500 or larger.
Vertical_Positional_Accuracy:
Vertical_Positional_Accuracy_Report:
This data is provided 'as is' and its vertical positional accuracy has not been verified by GeoPlan

Process_Description:
Source data were overlayed on 2004 true color digital orthophotos at a view scale of 1:2000 or larger. The source data (Available Habitat for St. Andrew Beach Mouse) was edited to remove identifiable buildings and roads. Vertices of existing linework were manipulated whenever possible to remove non-constituent elements listed above.

Process_Description:
GeoPlan received this data in shapefile format via email from USFWS on November 21, 2006. When received, the data was in Geographic projection Albers HARN.

- Added a DESCRIPT field to attribute table based on UNIT_NAME - Upcased all records in the table - Added a FGDLAQDATE field based on date received from source - Renamed shapefile from sabm_fch to SABM_CH_OCT06
