Abstract:
These GIS data represent the boundary of the Florida Keys National Marine Sanctuary (FKNMS) in polygon format. These data were generated from latitude and longitude coordinates in degrees, minutes, and seconds as given in the Federal Register. The first version of this data set was created at FMRI in 1998. The current version includes the January 2001 changes, including the Tortugas Ecological Reserve North and South areas as part of the FKNMS, in the boundary description. Because the FKNMS shares boundaries with other existing managed areas, every effort was made to use the most precise coordinates available for these boundaries. However, due to precision differences in the definitions, these shared boundaries may appear different in GIS layers that were created based on definitions of the other managed areas. This edition was created using the most precise coordinates available. The following sources were used to make these data: 1) boundary of FKNMS, Federal Register 2) boundary of Everglades National Park, National Park Service (based on 1:24k USGS Quads) 3) boundary of Biscayne Bay National Park, National Park Service (based on 1:24k USGS Quads) 4) existing shoreline at 1:40,000 scale.
Purpose:
These data were created to represent the boundary of the Florida Keys National Marine Sanctuary.
Supplemental Information: NOTE: These data, depending on scale, may not match up with other boundary data sets in the region of the FKNMS. Each managed area's bounding point locations are not necessarily defined at the same precision.

Source Citation Abbreviation: Federal Register
Source Contribution: The Federal Register provided latitude and longitude coordinates used to generate boundary.

Process Step:

Process Description: Latitude and longitude coordinates for the FKNMS boundary were obtained from the Federal Register. The points were then used to generate a boundary. Not all coordinates were explicitly given in the Federal Register. The description states that the FKNMS boundary "follows the boundary of Everglades National Park" along the portion of the Boundary that is shared with ENP. There is a similar statement for the boundary that is shared with Biscayne National Park. Therefore, boundaries for Everglades and Biscayne National Parks were extracted from existing data sets from the National Parks Service ftp site. The bounding coordinates for the Dry Tortugas National Park were obtained from the park map. The new boundaries replaced those used in the 1998 generation of the boundary.

Process Description: A 1:40,000 shoreline (fmri.fl40_2000) was added to the boundary because land is not part of the FKNMS. Attributes were added to indicate land vs. water, acronym of the boundary, and description of the boundary.
