This data set was developed for use by U. S. Fish and Wildlife Service staff to 
construct a graphic representation of wood stork nesting colony locations in the 
State of Florida active from 1970 - 2014 as described by various surveys.

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

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:
GeoPlan Center acquired data from Jane_Cooke@fws.gov on 10/14/2014 via 
email. The data was received in shapefile format and in Decimal Degrees 
projection. The following qaqc procedures were performed:

-Projected to Albers Conical Equal Area [Florida Geographic Data Library]
-Changed name to woodstork_nests_2014
-Upcased all records
-Upcased field titles in XTools
-Added DESCRIPT field based on NAME
-Added FGDLAQDATE based on date GeoPlan acquired data from source

Note: 70 out of 111 records had same name as old layer but did not align geographically with old layer.
Latitudes and longitudes were different for these records.
Process Date: 20141103
