- Abstract:
-
This GIS data set represents areas where seagrass is present in Broward County Florida. This information is gathered from field measurements and position is therefore approximate. This information is not intended to provide an exhaustive coverage of seagrass in Broward County. Additional areas of seagrass are believed to exist, but have not yet been verified by Broward County staff.
- Purpose:
-
This information is for informational purposes only and is not intended to provide an exhaustive coverage of seagrass in Broward County. Additional areas of seagrass are believed to exist, but have not yet been verified by staff.
- 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.

- Use_Constraints:
-
Acknowledgement of Broward County as the data creator and the FWC-FWRI (Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission-Fish and Wildlife Research Institute) as the data provider 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.

- Process_Step:
-
- Process_Description:
-
Broward County staff took measurements in the field (i.e. distance from seawalls, existing docks, property lines, etc.) using a measuring tape and then once back in the office, used those measurements to draw the polygons. Neither aerial photography nor GPS was used, so the polygons are extremely approximate. The majority of the field work was prompted by permit applications we received from marine contractors, consultants, or property owners during the time period 2006-2007. Additional areas of seagrass are believed to exist, but have not yet been verified by staff.
- Process_Date: 2006
- Process_Step:
-
- Process_Description:
-
FWRI staff received these data from Broward County in shapefile format. FWRI removed empty attribute fields and added the field "DESCRIPT" which indicates each polygon represents "seagrass present". FWRI also reprojected the data to Albers NAD83 and loaded into ArcSDE.
