Description:
Abstract:
This GIS data set represents mangroves in Florida. The data are reselected from land use and land cover data from Florida's water management districts.
Purpose: This GIS data set represents mangrove areas in Florida.
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.

Code 6120 'Mangrove Swamp' was reselected from this data set. In areas of overlap with the Southwest Florida Water Management District and St. Johns River Water Management District data, the other districts' data were used in the compilation since they had more detail. The minimum mapping unit for mangroves in SJRWMD and SWFWMD was 0.5 acre and the South Florida Water management district data had a minimum mapping unit of 2 acres.

The 2006 SWFWMD data set did not extend as far south as the 2004 data set. Code 6120 'Mangrove Swamp' was reselected from this data set. Polygons from this data set were only used where no more recent data had been interpreted. This data set was used over the SFWMD's data set because it has a more deatiled minimum mapping unit.

Process_Step:
Process_Description:
Code 6120 (mangrove swamp) was selected out of the 2004 or 2005 land use land cover data from Florida's water management districts. In areas where this data was not present, older data were used. See source contributions for more details.
