- Abstract:
-
This data set represents the Florida Shellfish Harvesting Area (SHA) boundaries as classified by the Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services (FDACS). Classifications are based on pollution source, hydrographic, meteorologic and bacteriological surveys to identify where sanitary conditions are suitable for the harvest of wholesome shellfish. Pollution source, hydrographic, and meteorologic surveys characterize the introduction and distribution of contaminants that may be present in amounts that present a health hazard; hence, should not be open to harvest. The bacteriological survey identifies waters meeting NSSP fecal coliform standards. Fecal coliform is an indicator group of bacteria used by FDACS. Fecal coliform live in the intestinal tract of warm-blooded animals, and each person excretes approximately two billion of these bacteria per day. Few fecal coliform are pathogenic; however, the presence of fecal coliform bacteria in coastal waters indicates feces from warm-blooded animals is present and human pathogens are likely to also be present. The NSSP has established bacteriological standards for shellfish harvesting area classification. For areas to be classified Approved or Conditionally Approved, the level of fecal coliform in surface water samples must meet the NSSP 14/43 standard. For areas to be classified Restricted or Conditionally Restricted, the level of fecal coliform in surface water samples must meet the NSSP 88/260 standard.These data are intended for general reference only and are not appropriate for legal use. Copies of the document Shellfish Harvesting Area Classification Maps and the documentShellfish Harvesting Area Classification Boundaries and Management Plans, containing shellfish harvesting area descriptions, references to shellfish harvesting area map numbers, and operating criteria herein incorporated by reference may be obtained by writing to the Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services at 1203 Governors Square Boulevard, 5th Floor, Tallahassee, Florida 32301.
- Purpose:
-
These data spatially represent the shellfish harvesting area classification boundaries in Florida for the spring, summer, fall months of the year or areas that don't have seansons. Each shellfish harvesting area and shellfish harvesting area map has a unique name and number. Shellfish areas are classified by the Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services (FDACS) to protect shellfish consumers from shellfish borne illnesses.. Shellfish are defined in this context as oysters, clams and mussels. The Department is authorized by Chapter 5L-1 F.A.C. These data are intended for general reference only and are not appropriate for legal use. The maps found on the Division of Aquaculture's website will be slightly different due to the older technology used to create them. Please use caution when referencing this data.

- Entity_and_Attribute_Overview:
-
Shellfish harvesting areas are classified as "Approved," "Conditionally Approved," "Restricted," "Conditionally Restricted," and "Prohibited," . These classifications are defined in Chapter 5L-1.003. The following provides generalized descriptions for these classifications: "Approved" - Normally open to shellfish harvesting; may be temporarily closed under extraordinary circumstances such as red tides, hurricanes and sewage spills. The 14/43 standard must be met for all combinations of defined adverse pollution conditions (tide, rainfall, river, tide/rainfall, tide/river and tide/rainfall/river). "Conditionally Approved" - Periodically closed to shellfish harvesting based on pollution events, such as rainfall or increased river flow. The 14/43 standard must be met when rainfall, river stage, and/or river discharge is less than the management plan level for temporary closure and during all other adverse pollution conditions. "Restricted" - Normally open to relaying or controlled purification, allowed only by special permit and supervision; may be temporarily closed under extraordinary circumstances such as red tides, hurricanes and sewage spills. The 88/260 standard must be met for all combinations of defined adverse pollution conditions (tide, rainfall, river, tide/rainfall, tide/river and tide/rainfall/river). "Conditionally Restricted" - Periodically, relay and controlled purification activity is temporarily suspended based on pollution events, such as rainfall or increased river flow. The 88/260 standard must be met when rainfall, river stage, and/or river discharge is less than the management plan level for temporary closure and during all other adverse pollution conditions. "Prohibited" - Shellfish harvesting is not permitted due to actual or potential pollution. This classification is least desirable, and is used only when standards are exceeded for "Approved," "Conditionally Approved," "Restricted," and "Conditionally Restricted" classification management schemes.
