Description:
Abstract:
This dataset is a polygon dataset describing the extents of the regions of responsibility for the following USCG Marine Safety Offices (or Captain of the Port Zones): Tampa, Miami, Jacksonville, and Mobile. Taken from legal description stated in the United States Coast Guard Federal regulations 33cfr ch 1 (7-1-95 edition) revised as of 07-1-95 subpart 3.35-1 and subpart 3.40-1. This layer is an update of USCGDI that was released with FGDL Version 2003.
Purpose:
The data was created to serve as base information for use in GIS systems for a variety of planning and analytical purposes.

A note about data scale:

Scale is an important factor in data usage. Certain scale datasets are not suitable for some project, analysis, or modelling 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:
GeoPlan downloaded this dataset from the Florida Marine Research Institute (FMRI) website (<http://www.floridamarine.org/>) in October 2004. The data was downloaded in shapefile format and was in the following projection: Albers, NAD 83, GRS 80. The dataset was projected from NAD 83 to FGDL Albers HPGN

- Added a DESCRIPT field based on COPT
