USER NOTES:

This data is provided 'as is'. GeoPlan relied on the integrity of the original data layer's topology

Lines were drawn to be offshore from the shoreline in our photos. They may not align with other data sources. Since the shapefile is to be used only as a graphic, we did not require any survey quality accuracy. This is the final version for the year 2009

GeoPlan relied on the integrity of the attribute information within the original data.

The determination of beach condition was under the direction of Ralph Clark and his staff of Coastal Engineers.

To show the areas and severity of beach erosion as determined by our engineering staff.

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.

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.

DATA LINEAGE SUMMARY:

Determination of location and status of eroded areas in Florida. Process Date: October 2008 to May 2009 Creation of shapefile Process Date: June 2009 Dataset copied from previous year. Process Date: Database changes. Removed the length column since it was not accurate. Process Date: 200907030 Added a new layer. Replaces DEP.COASTAL_CRIT_EROSION_AREAS08 in DataCatalog, DataMiner and MapDirect. Process Date: 20090803 GeoPlan Center downloaded this data from the FDEP website on November 18, 2009. http://www.dep.state.fl.us/gis/datadir.htm This dataset was originally named coastal critical erosion areas 2009 - coastal_crit_erosion_areas.shp - The dataset was renamed to critbeach_jun09.shp - Added a DESCRIPT field to attribute table based on Status - Added a FGDLAQDATE based on date downloaded from source - Upcased all fields in attribute table Process Date: 20091118 Data imported to ArcSDE and exported as a shapefile. Process Date: 20100112
