Title:
Bathymetric Contours Nearshore Southern Indian River Lagoon and the St. Lucie Estuary
Geospatial_Data_Presentation_Form: vector digital data

Description:
Abstract:
This polygon GIS data set represents detailed bathymetry for the Indian River Lagoon and the St. Lucie Estuary. Depth is stored in meters. Polygons were interpolated from approximately 75,000 surveyed points.
Purpose:
Bathymetry coverage is used for monitoring, modeling and fieldwork purposes in the Indian River Lagoon and the St. Lucie Estuary.
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.

Available with Caution. All data must be verified by Principal Investigator or Group Database Analyst prior to release. It is strongly recommended that this data is directly acquired from FWC and not indirectly through other sources which may have changed the data in some way. FWC makes no claims as to the data's suitability for other purposes.
Use_Constraints:
Acknowledgement of the FWC-FWRI (Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission-Fish and Wildlife Research Institute) as the data source, and SFWMD as the originator, 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. FWC shall not be liable for improper or incorrect use of this data. These data are not legal documents and are not to be used as such. This is not a survey data set and should not be utilized as such. These data are not to be used for navigation.
This is an interpolated dataset only to be used for the analysis of the lagoon and the estuary.

Process_Step:
Process_Description:
The bathymetric polygon coverage was interpolated from point data into a grid and then converted to a polygon coverage. The point data, X, Y, Z ASCII files were surveyed on transect lines perpendicular to the shore at a distance of 25 feet between each point, and 500 or 1000 feet between each transect line. . The original point dataset was edited, removing anomalies from the dataset. This was done to aid in the interpolation process.
Topogrid was the gridding process used, with a cell size of 50 feet. After the data was interpolated into a grid, a polygon coverage was created from the data.
The polygon coverage was clipped to SFWMD's current IRL shoreline, and islands within the lagoon and estuary were also put back in. The interpolation process did not totally interpolate the channel correctly. The channel was manually edited in where it was missing in the interpolation with an average depth of 3.8 meters.
Finally the polygon coverage was edited for any obvious errors in the topogrid process.
