Description:

Abstract:

This GIS data set represents the State of Florida manatee protection areas as described in the Florida Administrative Code (FAC) Chapter 68C-22. This GIS data set was developed to spatially represent the manatee protection areas for general reference only. In the event of conflict between this data set and the zones as described in the FAC, the descriptions in the FAC shall prevail. These state of Florida manatee protection zones may differ from manatee protections zones created by City or County authorities and/or the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service.

Purpose:

This GIS data set represents the state of Florida manatee protection areas as described in the Florida Administrative Code (FAC) Chapter 68C-22. This GIS data set was developed to spatially represent the manatee protection areas for general reference only. In the event of conflict between this data set and the zones as described in the FAC, the descriptions in the FAC shall prevail. These state of Florida manatee protection zones may differ from manatee protections zones created by City or County authorities and/or the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service.

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.

Process_Step:

Process_Description:

The base shoreline was digitized using the best available source data at the time of digitzation. The boundaries of the Manatee Protection areas were then digitized using the legal descriptions as provided in the Florida Administrative Code (FAC).

Process_Step:

Process_Description:

The geometry of the data have been changed to reflect the below rule and geography changes: 1) Broward County - the mitigation area around the port has been modified, so the No Entry Zone has been expanded to include these areas. 2) Lee County - Due to geography changes due to storm impacts, the Burnt Store Road area is now included in section (2)(d)1. 3) Charlotte County - modification in the area around the US41 bridge. 4) Collier County - whole county rule has been replaced. Of note is the "20 MPH All Year / 30 MPH in state-federal marked channel All Year" zones have been divided and digitized separately, so that the 20MPH All Year and the 30 MPH All Year zones are different polygons.
