- Abstract:
-
This GIS data set represents hydrographic features, including hard bottom features as well as obstructions and platforms. These data represent locations where bottom was sampled in conjunction with the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) bathymetric surveys. Bottom features were only sampled in some of the locations where bathymetric soundings were taken; therefore this is not a complete sampling for the state of Florida. Additionally, some of the source data are quite old, and bottom features may have changed. FMRI generated these point data using NOAA's GEOphysical DAta System (GEODAS) version 4.0. No soft bottom features are included in this data set, as they were not present in the GEODAS product.
- Purpose:
-
These data represent hydrographic features and obstructions at select locations in Florida for general mapping 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 should not be considered a complete data set for all hydrographic features in Florida. These data were collected as part of various surveys, some of which are quite old.

-
- Process_Description:
-
FMRI selected these points from the GEODAS CD and downloaded them to a delimited text file with coordinates in the NAD83 datum. FMRI imported the text file into a Microsoft Access database, and converted attribute values to the proper number of decimal places and added a DESCRIPTION field to display a description of the hydrographic feature code values. FMRI created a shapefile from these data using the Add X,Y tool in ArcMap 8.3. FMRI reprojected these data to Albers.
