- Abstract:
-
This point shapefile consists of the locations of species detected for the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC) Wildlife Occurrence (WildObs) database in Florida. This spatial database contains attributes of wildlife observations that are the most commonly used by biologists. WildObs maintains records of species' distributions throughout the state in a database with a standardized format for recording and managing incidental, casual, or short-term systematic observations of wildlife. This database is a repository for data from planned surveys, contracted projects, and casual observations. Designed to be useful to biologists, particularly those with the Nongame Wildlife Program, WildObs maintains species lists and assists biologists in monitoring wildlife populations in protected or managed areas. In particular, the attributes associated with this spatial dataset were selected from the WildObs database as the most commonly used characteristics for biologists. This is an update to the FGDL layer WILDOBS_2010.
- Purpose:
-
Our goal is to provide a standardized format for recording and managing incidental,
casual, or short-term systematic observations of wildlife. The system design is
intended useful for biologists to maintain species lists or to track wildlife populations
in protected our managed areas. Additionally this can be a repository for longer-term
studies, or data from other sources, such as literature and contracted research
projects.
- Supplemental_Information:
-
A database management system (Microsoft Access 2000, dBase IV, and Arc/View
compatible) is available if you wish to manage your own data. This database
contains forms for searching records and exporting records into GIS systems.
Copies of the database structure and programs are available from the Division’s
database and downloadable from <http://dm.fwc.state.fl.us/wildobs/>.

- Attribute_Accuracy:
-
- Attribute_Accuracy_Report:
-
GeoPlan relied on the integrity of the attribute information within
the original data.
- Logical_Consistency_Report:
-
The WildObs database includes two main related tables, joinable with the
"Sitenumber" field. SITES was created to hold location and habitat information.
COUNTS was created to hold wildlife observations and count data. Logically
consistent. All attributes fall within defined values.

- Horizontal_Positional_Accuracy:
-
- Horizontal_Positional_Accuracy_Report:
-
Location information can be recorded at several levels of accuracy on the field
forms. Details of the type of survey and type of count or estimation method used
may also be recorded. Optionally, information on the type of managed area where
the sighting was made can be noted, and provision is made to identify important
wildlife use areas.

Various information on geographic location, species (number, age, sex, etc.), habitat
and activities of target species (listed in WildObsManual.doc) were recorded on
wildlife observation forms using Microsoft Access 2000. Suggested target species
and groups vary with the seasons. The manual, available from the contact, provides
details of each table and field of the database structure as well as overview of the
contents. WildObs forms and the intranet site are not intended to replace study-
specific data forms. The observation forms can also be used for casual
observations. Location information can be recorded at several levels of accuracy
on the field forms. Space is provided to record numbers of animals observed and to
classify them according to age and sex. In addition, you can record 1 or 2 types of
habitats occupied and activities observed. Details of the type of survey and type of
count or estimation method used may also be recorded. Optionally, information on
the type of managed area where the sighting was made can be noted, and
provision is made to identify important wildlife use areas. Finally, space is provided
for detailed notes on behavior, location, and survey type information. slopes, or
edges of floodplains.

1) Created queries to compile requested data from the following tables in the
Microsoft Access wildobs.mdb file: Counts & Sites (joined on Sitenumber),
FieldwoServer (where MergedIntoWildobs = No), and WildobsLite. 2) Queried and
copied data from the SQL Server (fwc-tlsq8) Wildobs tables within the HSC
database. The Access database holds historical Wildobs data, while the SQL
Server database contains more recent records from an internal website.

GeoPlan downloaded the data on February 25th, 2015 from the
Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission - Fish and Wildlife Research Institute
TRGIS website: <http://ocean.floridamarine.org/TRGIS/Description_Layers_Terrestrial.htm>
wildlife_observations_point.zip
wildlife_observations_point.shp
The data was originally projected to:
PCS_Albers
GCS_North_American_1983
During the QA/QC process, GeoPlan performed the following tasks:
- Reprojected the dataset to FGDL Albers using the following transformation:
NAD_1983_To_HARN_Florida
- Upcased all fields.
- Added a DESCRIPT field based on the field [COMNAME].
If SPECIFLOC was not available,[SITETYPE_D] was used.
- Added FGDLAQDATE based on date FGDL acquired the data.
- Renamed the dataset to wildobs_2013.shp
Please Note:
Previous TRGIS data layers were misidentified in the metadata as being in Albers HARN.
FFWCC-FWRI said all TRGIS data is PCS Albers (Not HARN).
The data now has a HARN transformation and so all of the data is shifted now (<1m)
from the previous FGDL version.

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:
