Abstract:
This layer identifies the area where consultation on potential impacts to the Florida Grasshopper Sparrow should be made, if suitable habitat is present, in the South Florida Ecological Services Office Service Area.
Purpose:
Geographic Information System (GIS) data for the area where consultation with U. S. Fish and Wildlife Service on the Florida Grasshopper Sparrow is recommended. This boundary is not a sharp demarcation but generally describes the area where the species is most likely to be found in the South Florida Ecological Services Office Service Area. If an activity might result in take of this endangered species the Federal agency or other permitting entity should consult with the Service. In the event that the species is found outside this area, consultation with the Service is also appropriate.

Process_Description:
GeoPlan received this dataset from the United States Fish and Wildlife Service via email on September 7, 2012. The data downloaded was in shapefile format and was in the following projection: Albers HPGN.
- Added DESCRIPT field - Added FGDLAQDATE - Added ACRES - Added fields OFFICE, CON_ADD, CON_CITY, CON_ZIP, CON_PHONE - Deleted Area and Perimeter
Ecological services office associated with consultation area was derived using info provided at: <http://www.fws.gov/northflorida/documents/USFWS_FL_ES_Office_Service_Areas.pdf>
Consultation area polygon was cut using the construct features command in ArcMap to represent which ecological services office serves that particular area. Features were then dissolved on the field office.
Features that fell outside of the South Florida ecological services office were removed per request.
Layer was renamed ca_flgh_sparrow from fl_grasshopper_sparrow-consultation_area

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>
