Abstract:
This GIS data set represents aquatic preserves (AP) in the State of Florida, originally created by Florida Marine Research Institute (FMRI) from legal descriptions using 1:24000 scale shoreline, now maintained by Florida Department of Environmental Protection (FDEP) Coastal and Aquatic Managed Areas (CAMA). Aquatic preserves are ecologically significant submerged lands maintained in relatively pristine condition.
Purpose:
Divisions within the Florida Department of Environmental Protection (FDEP) have felt the need to develop digital coverages for the state-owned or managed properties they oversee and are in the process of reducing the legal descriptions on deeds into a digital form by interpreting and transferring the legal description to a quad sheet or using one or another of the COordinate GeOmetry (COGO) systems. These lands include the Aquatic Preserves and the State Park boundaries. Where possible, to minimize duplication of effort, the Department acquired the boundaries already created for the Aquatic Preserves.
Supplemental Information: Aquatic Preserve information is available in two different versions. This version contains AP information maintained by Coastal and Aquatic Managed Areas (CAMA). Aquatic Preserve information is also available in the Outstanding Florida Waters layer. Currently, all aquatic preserves are also Outstanding Florida Waters (OFWs). This was not the case in the past and may change again in the future, but an Aquatic Preserve was dropped. It's important to note that there are three aquatic preserves whose OFW boundaries differ from the aquatic preserve boundary. These are described more specifically in the OFW rule 62-302.700: Indian River Malabar to Vero expansion - does not include portions of Sebastian and Turkey Creeks; Wekiva River - does not include portions of the St. Johns River; and Big Bend - the OFW rule specifies certain "incorporated and unincorporated areas that are excluded." Please note that Boca Ciega Bay Aquatic Preserve is also part of the Pinellas County Aquatic Preserve.

Entity Type Definition Source:

Attribute:

Attribute Label: LANDTYPE
Attribute Definition: Whether a polygon represents land or water. Although aquatic preserves are water by definition, some "land" areas are included in this data set due to either a limitation in the data model used to create the data set, or in some cases the boundaries of aquatic preserves were drawn as indicated in legal descriptions, and the exact extent of submerged lands within the given boundaries was not verified. See also the second Process Step.
