- Abstract:
-
This shapefile contains the locations of black bear (Ursus americanus floridanus) roadkill in the state of Florida. The data were limited to those records obtained from the Wildlife Incident Management System (WIMS) database maintained by the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC), and that were associated with a geographic coordinate.
- Purpose:
-
These data are available for all people interested in the location of black bear road mortality in the state of Florida.

Dataset describing Florida black bear activity in the state of Florida.
- Process_Step:
-
- Process_Description:
-
Staff records roadkill locations in the WIMS database as geographic coordinates, which were then exported into Microsoft Excel as a spreadsheet. Spreadsheet data were imported into ESRI ArcMap 10.3.1 as an XY event and converted into a point shapefile. The shapefile was QA/QC'd against county boundaries layer in data library. Questionable records were individually examined and corrected as appropriate.
