Description:

Abstract:

This dataset contains areas representing the Waterfronts Florida Program managed by the Department of Community Affairs - Division of Community Planning . This program offers help to all coastal local governments in Florida to revitalize their working waterfronts by providing resources for planning. In addition, the Program designates selected communities to receive technical and limited financial assistance through the Waterfronts Florida Partnership Program.

Purpose:

To provide the boundaries for all of the Waterfronts Florida Designated Communities. There are currently 23 such communities. This product is for reference purposes only and is not to be construed as a legal document or survey instrument.

Process_Description:

GeoPlan received this data via ftp from DCA on April 7, 2010. When received the data was in 23 different shapefiles with varying projections. The data was projected to Albers HPGN and merged together. Names for each waterfront community were taken from the following website: <http://www.dca.state.fl.us/fdcp/DCP/waterfronts/communities.cfm>

-Added COUNTY field based on FGDL county boundaries layer using spatial join command -Added DESCRIPT based on waterfront name -Added FGDLAQDATE based on date data was acquired from source.

Process_Step:

Process_Description:

Replaced line work for APALACHICOLA waterfront based on new shapefile sent to GeoPlan from Matthew.Muller@dca.state.fl.us. Also changed the DESCRIPT name of "KINGS BAY" to "CRYSTAL RIVER" based off input from Elisabeth Salinas.

Resource_Description: DOWNLOADABLE DATA

Distribution_Liability:

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'. 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: <http://geoplan.ufl.edu/education.html>
