- Abstract:
-
This data set includes the nearshore bathymetry of the state of Florida as lines representing bathymetric contours. These data are a statewide compilation of the Fish and Wildlife Research Institute's regional nearshore bathymetry contours.
Geonex digitized the contours during 1991-1992 from clean, wrinkle-free paper National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) nautical charts. Geonex used the most current versions of the charts available at that time. The source charts used to create this data set varied in scale from 1:10000 to 1:80000, but in all cases, the largest scale charts available were used. Geonex staff members also interpolated additional contours not present on the charts.
- Purpose:
-
This data set was created to represent marine depth contours and depth range polygons, primarily for cartographic purposes.
- Supplemental_Information:
-
Prior to July 1, 2004, the Fish and Wildlife Research Institute (FWRI) was known as the Florida Marine Research Institute (FMRI). The institute name has not been changed in historical data sets or references to work completed by the Florida Marine Research Institute. The institute name has been changed in references to ongoing research, new research, and contact information.
These data may contain attribute and positional inaccuracies. These data were compiled from the original 1992 coverages; they do not reflect any positional or attribute edits that have been made individually to the regional data sets.
These data are not to be used for navigation. User should be aware that later versions of the source charts may be available and that contours may have changed. Consult the appropriate coast pilot and the most recent paper or digital charts available.

-
Acknowledgement of the FWC-FWRI (Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission-Fish and Wildlife Research Institute) as the data source would be appreciated in any products developed from these data, and such acknowledgment as is standard for citation and legal practices for data source is expected by users of this data. Please cite the original metadata when using portions of the record to create a similar record of slightly altered data, such as reprojection. If any data are modified or adjusted, please share the edited information with FWC. Users should be aware that comparison with other data sets for the same area from other time periods may be inaccurate due to inconsistencies resulting from changes in mapping conventions, data collection, and computer processes over time.

-
- Attribute_Accuracy_Report:
-
All entities and attributes have been identified and documented. FWRI has not verified attribute accuracy.
- Logical_Consistency_Report:
-
Most of the data are logically consistent. However, some lines are coded as 666, indicating that they are inland water bodies. This attribute should be for polygons only, because a line around an inland water body should have a depth of 0. However, not all of the arcs coded as DEPTH = 666 are indeed shoreline. This data set does not contain a shoreline. This data set needs additional quality checks and editing.

Positional accuracy has not been verified by FWRI. Not all contours match the source charts. Some contours may have been interpolated from other sources. FWRI has not verified that all contours deviating from the source charts are interpolations.
