Datafile Name: FNAIMA_JUN06.DBF

FEATURE ATTRIBUTE TABLES CODES AND VALUES:

Item	Item Description
FID	Internal feature number.
Shape	Feature geometry.
AREA	Area of polygon
PERIMETER	Perimeter of polygon
MANAGED_AR	Managed Area ID, designed by NatureServe. Unique identifier for each Managed Area.
MACODE_BCD	Managed Area Code, designed by The Nature Conservancy. Unique identifier for each Managed Area, beginning with "M.USFLHP*".
MANAME	Official name of the Managed Area (conservation land), as determined by the managing agency. Note that in some cases a Managed Area is contained within a larger Managed Area (see MAJOR_MA below). To select all of the polygons for a Managed Area that contains one or more smaller Managed Areas, query on both MANAME and MAJOR_MA.
MAJORNAME	Official name of the Major Managed Area. Major Managed Area refers to a larger Managed Area that contains the Managed Area in question. For example, Abe Trull Research Natural Area is contained within St. Marks National Wildlife Refuge. For Abe Trull RNA, St. Marks NWR is the Major Managed Area and the MAJOR_MA is St. Marks NWR. When the Managed Area is not part of a larger Managed Area, this attribute item appears as "ZZ". To select all of the polygons for a Managed Area that contains one or more smaller Managed Areas, query on both MANAME and MAJOR_MA.

MANAGING_A	Name of the lead managing agency for the Managed Area.
MATYPE2	Code for Managed Area by managing agency category. F = Federal Government S = State Government L = Local Government P = Private Organization or Individual
OWNER	Name of the main owner of the Managed Area. Additional owners, if any, are listed in COOWNERs. Note that for some Managed Areas, the managing agency is different from the owner.
COOWNERS	Name(s) of additional owner(s) of the managed area (i.e., in addition to the agency listed in OWNER, these agencies own a portion of the managed area).
TOTACRES	Total number of acres within the Managed Area. Figures are not GIS calculated (i.e., not polygon-based) unless specified in COMMENTS 1(2). Managed Area acreage figures are obtained directly from the managing agencies.
LTF_ACRES	Number of acres within the Managed Area that are in less-than-fee ownership. Figures are not GIS calculated (i.e., not polygon-based) unless specified in COMMENTS 1(2). Acreage figures are obtained directly from the managing agencies.
COUNTY	Abbreviation (the first four letters of the county name) for the county or counties where the Managed Area is located (exception: DADE = Miami-Dade County).
PROTSTAT	Protection Status. 1 = Category I. This is the highest protection and reserved for lands that are specifically and judiciously managed for biodiversity protection. This category includes lands owned by private entities that are managed for biodiversity conservation, and lands administered by public agencies that are specially designated for biodiversity conservation through legislative action where natural events proceed without interference or are mimicked through management. The governmental agency acting alone cannot change these designations without legislative action and public involvement. Examples include The Nature Conservancy preserves and other private preserves committed to biodiversity conservation, preserves that are state-owned and managed, some national parks, federal wilderness areas, and some local preserves. For FNAI purposes, this designation will generally apply to the following: private sanctuaries and preserves, state preserves and botanical sites, many local preserves purchased and managed as environmentally sensitive lands, most national parks and seashores, national marine sanctuaries, and federal research natural areas. 2 = Category II. This second category applies to lands that are generally managed for their natural values but that may incur additional uses such as habitat manipulation for game species and/or some recreation infrastructure. These activities will likely degrade the quality of natural communities locally but the majority of the land will be managed for biodiversity protection. It also includes public lands with administrative designations for biodiversity conservation. Examples include private preserves managed for game species, national wildlife refuges, BLM areas of critical environmental concern, and state parks. For FNAI purposes, this designation will generally apply to the following: state parks, state reserves, state geological sites, state buffer preserves and aquatic preserves, wildlife and environmental areas, national wildlife refuges, some national park lands, and many locally managed lands purchased for natural resource protection. 3 = Category III. This category applies to lands maintained for multiple uses, including consumptive or recreational values, and not specifically or wholly dedicated to biodiversity conservation. It also includes lands with restricted development rights. Unrestricted public access is one criterion that may cause a property to be placed into this category. Examples include most nondesignated (i.e., multiple-use) public lands administered by the U.S. Department of Agriculture Forest Service and Bureau of Land Management, Department of Defense lands, state forests, regional and large local parks and open space, and private lands protected from subdivision by conservation easements and other title restrictions. For FNAI purposes, this designation will apply to state recreation areas, state gardens and trails, state forests, wildlife management areas, mitigation parks, lands managed by FL DEP Office of Greenways and Trails, most water management district properties, national forests, most Department of Defense lands, many local parks, and conservation easements on private properties. It also includes lands tracked primarily for administrative reasons, such as state historic and archaeological sites, state museums, fish management areas, national memorials, and national fish hatcheries.
MANAGER	Name and/or official job title of the current manager of the Managed Area.
MGRINST	Manager Institution. Part of the manager's address.
MGRCITY	Manager City. City where the manager works. Part of the manger's address.
MGRPHONE	Manager Phone. Area code and phone number of the manager.
DESC1	General description of the Managed Area, focusing on natural communities and rare species found within the Managed Area. This attribute has been split into two parts because of the shapefile text field limitation.
DESC2	Description, continued from DESC1.
COMMENTS1	General comments concerning a Managed Area. This attribute has been split into two parts because of the shapefile text field limitation.
COMMENTS2	Comments, continued from COMMENTS1.
DIG_COM	Source of the digital boundaries and date. Indicates whether GIS boundaries were provided by an outside agency (e.g., "DIGITAL BOUNDARIES PROVIDED BY SOUTHWEST FLORIDA WATER MANAGEMENT DISTRICT") or were transcribed and digitized by FNAI staff as described earlier (i.e., "FNAI MAPPING AND DIGITIZING"). Includes date (month/year) digital boundary file was received by FNAI and/or revisions were made by FNAI staff.
MANAME_AB	A shortened (abbreviated) name of the Managed Area (used primarily for map labeling).
DESCRIPT	FGDL added field based on MANAME
FGDLAQDATE	FGDL added field based on date of download from source agency.

USER NOTES:

This data is provided 'as is'. GeoPlan relied on the integrity of the original data layer's topology. ZZ = Not applicable or data not available. When performing statistical analyses on the TOTACRES field (i.e., using ArcView or ArcGIS to calculate total acreages for a group of Managed Areas), subtract all Managed Areas that are a part of a major Managed Area (i.e., Managed Areas that have a MAJOR_MA). This is necessary to avoid duplication of acreages since the TOTACRES field for a major Managed Area includes the acreage(s) of smaller Managed Area(s) nested within it.

This data is provided 'as is' by GeoPlan and is complete to our knowledge.

A note concerning data scale: Scale is an important factor in data usage. Certain scale datasetsare 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. 1:250000 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 analyses. Every effort has been made to supply the user with data documentation. For additional information, see the References sectionand the Data Source Contact section of this documentation.

DATA LINEAGE SUMMARY:

This GIS data layer was generated by the Florida Natural Areas Inventory (FNAI) using ArcView v 3.2 and ArcGIS-ArcInfo 9.1. Source polygons were developed from the BIOTICS ArcView application. The polygons were imported into an ArcInfo region using ArcInfo 9.1. Overlaps less than 0.002 meters were removed using the ArcInfo CLEAN command. The ArcInfo region was then converted into a polygon shapefile using ArcMap 9.1. Information in the FLMA data layer was provided to FNAI by the individual managing agencies. Boundary information on managed areas was originally in either digital format or on paper source maps with varying scales. New digital boundary files were integrated into FLMA by FNAI staff. In the case of paper source maps, boundaries were either transcribed by FNAI staff onto 1:24,000 USGS topographic quadrangles and then digitized, or boundaries from paper maps were transcribed by FNAI staff in ArcView or ArcMap using underlying USGS 1:24,000 DRG and on-screen digitization methods. FNAI staff then integrated these new digital boundaries into FLMA. The attribute item DIG_COM in the FLMA layer provides details on the derivation of boundaries for individual managed areas. The following digitizers were used by the FNAI staff: CalComp DBII, accuracy of +/- .01 inch CalComp DBIII, accuracy of +/- .005 inch CalComp 9500 Series, accuracy of +/- .005 inch When digital boundaries from one source overlapped with digital boundaries from another source, the boundaries were adjusted by FNAI staff to eliminate the overlapping areas. Adjustments were made based on the best known information about the source of the boundaries. All overlaps greater than 0.002 meters were removed using this process. Process Date: 20060607 GeoPlan downloaded this dataset from the Florida Natural Areas Inventory website (http://www.fnai.org/gis_data.cfm) in June 2006. The data downloaded was in shapefile format and was in the following projection: Albers HPGN. - All records were upcased. - Area and Perimeter fields were updated using X-tools. - Changed original layer name from FLMA to FNAIMA_JUN06. - A DESCRIPT field was added based on MANAME - A FGDLAQDATE field was added based on date of download. Process Date: 20060616
