- Abstract:
-
This polygon GIS data set represents a compilation of statewide seagrass data from various source agencies and scales. The data were mapped from sources ranging in date from 1987 to 2010. Not all data in this compilation are mapped from photography; some are the results of field measurements. See the "Sources" section for more information.
The original source data sets were not all classified in the same manner; some used the Florida Land Use Cover and Forms Classification System (FLUCCS) codes 9113 for discontinuous seagrass and 9116 for continuous seagrass; some defined only presence and absence of seagrass, and some defined varying degrees of seagrass percent cover. In order to merge all of these data sources into one compilation data set, FWRI reclassified the various source data attribute schemes into two categories: "Continuous Seagrass" and "Patchy (Discontinuous) Seagrass". In areas where studies overlap, the most recent study where a given area has been interpreted is represented in this data set.
This data set is not comparable to previous statewide data sets for time series studies - not all areas have been updated since the previous statewide compilation and some areas previously not mapped are now included. Please contact GIS Librarian to request the source data if you need to do a time series comparison.
This data set has been updated in several areas from the previous compilation, including Indian River Lagoon (2009), Northern Miami-Dade (2009), Biscayne Bay (2005), Dry Tortugas (2006), and Parts of Rookery Bay NERR (2003-2006).
- Purpose:
-
This GIS data set was developed to represent the most recent seagrass
mapping available in Florida for current statewide display and analysis. Not
all areas have been mapped. This data set includes areas that were not
previously mapped in other statewide compilations. This data set is not
appropriate for time series comparisons to previous statewide compilations.
- 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.
These data are for statewide mapping and analysis only. The original regional
data sets may contain more detailed seagrass attribution schemes. Contact GIS
Librarian to request the source data sets.

- 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 logically consistent. Geodatabase topology was run to detect
overlapping polygons - none are present. Some slivers may be present.
- Completeness_Report:
-
These data are complete as of data available to FWRI in September, 2010.
The study areas for the source data varied. Offshore data have not been
mapped to any consistent distance or depth statewide.
Broward and Collier counties are included; however, these counties were mapped
using field measurements, rather than complete aerial photography, so additional
unmapped seagrass may still be present within these counties. Additional data gaps
may be present. Contact GIS Librarian to request extent of mapping.

- Process_Description:
-
FWRI staff added four attributes to each data set:
SEAGRASS - indicates "continuous" or "discontinuous". If a seagrass data
set only indicated presence/absence this attribute defaulted to discontinuous.
SOURCEDATE - year(s) of photography. Also indicates if date is unknown or
if the polygon was not interpreted from photography.
METADATA - the information in this field will be populated with a link to the
metadata for the source data set that the polygon came from once the source
metadata is online. Currently it is the source data set name used as a placeholder.
DESCRIPT - standardized name field for labeling maps. Values include
"Continuous Seagrass", or "Discontinuous Seagrass".
Staff used the most recent information for an area. Staff determined the
most recent information by creating footprints of all source polygons, minus
any large land polygons and uninterrupted areas. Staff used these footprints
with the ArcGIS Toolbox command "erase" to eliminate areas of overlap
from older source data sets. In some areas the exclusion of shoreline resulted
in sliver polygons due to different studies using different shorelines. Staff
manually deleted these slivers after the "erase", defaulting to the more recent
shoreline coverage.
Once all the data were properly "erased", staff loaded all of the data into
a single geodatabase feature class. Running a topology resulted in no
overlaps. If an area was uninterpreted within a more recent study, but
interpreted in an older study, then the older study was used.
Sliver polygons less than one square meter were deleted. Any additional
slivers are either due to preserving the "Source" attribute or they were
present in the original source data sets.

GeoPlan downloaded this dataset from the Fish and Wildlife Research
Institute (FWRI) via FTP on 7/13/2011. The data was received as a shapefile
in projection: Albers, NAD 83, GRS 80. The dataset was then projected
from NAD 83 to FGDL Albers HPGN.
- Upcased all records in the table.
- Renamed shapefile from seagrass_fl_poly to seagrs_2011
- Added FGDLAQDATE field

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:
