State Park Management Zones were created to sub-divide park lands into areas 
that best facilitate the management of the park lands for conservation and 
recreation.

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'.

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:

DATA LINEAGE SUMMARY:
Inception of new data pull from NRTS schema on ORAPROD. Oracle Spatial data 
is updated nightly on SDE based on the view on the GEOM schema on 
ORAPROD. This new layer replaces the current DataMiner and MapDirect Lite 
layer for the Florida State Park Management Zones.

GeoPlan downloaded this dataset from the Florida Department of Environmental Protection's website on January 4th, 2016. http://www.dep.state.fl.us/gis/datadir.htm PARKS_MANAGEMENT_ZONES_SP.zip PARKS_MANAGEMENT_ZONES_SP.shp The data was downloaded in shapefile format and was in the following projection: Albers NAD 83 HARN. During the AQ/QC process the following tasks were undertaken: - Redefined the dataset's projection from FDEP Albers to FGDL Albers. - Upcased all records in the table. - A DESCRIPT field was added based on PARK_NAME. - A FGDLAQDATE field was added based on date downloaded from its source. - Renamed file from PARKS_MANAGEMENT_ZONES_SP to stpark_mzones_aug15.shp Process Date: 20160104
