Abstract:
This GIS data set represents mangroves in the coastal areas of Florida as mapped in the September 2003 delivery of Environmental Sensitivity Index (ESI) shoreline classification polygons. This GIS data set was reselected from the shoreline classification based on the MANGROVE attribute equal to "Y" (yes). Research Planning Inc. (RPI) developed the ESI classification polygons based on the 1994-1995 land use and land cover for all of Florida's water management districts, with the exception of the Southwest Florida Water Management District (SWFWMD), which was classified based on 1999 DOQQs. At FMRI's request, RPI also reworked some shoreline in the South Florida Water Management District (SFWMD), which had poor positional accuracy.

These data do not represent mangroves in Florida's interior areas, and they do not represent "fringing" mangroves. However, "fringing" coastal mangroves are represented in the companion data set "mangrove_coastal_esi_arc", which was derived from the ESI arc classification data set.

Purpose: This data set represents mangrove areas around coastal Florida.
Supplemental_Information:
Mangroves are only shown for the extent of the ESI data set (a buffer of the coastline and the St. Johns River.)

Data_Quality_Information:
Attribute_Accuracy:
Attribute_Accuracy_Report:
Attributes are as accurate as the esi_classification_poly layer that RPI estimates to be "good" given the years of ESI experience, the data input methodology, the quality control review sessions, and the digital logical consistency checks.
Logical_Consistency_Report: These data are logically consistent.
Completeness_Report:
These data do not include mangrove polygons beyond the extent of the ESI project. These data also do not include thin areas of "fringing" mangrove.
Positional_Accuracy:
Horizontal_Positional_Accuracy:
Horizontal_Positional_Accuracy_Report:
The ESI shoreline position is primarily based on the recent LULC data provided by the state WMDs, updated in places using recent DOQQs. The overall positional accuracy of the shoreline is therefore similar to the positional accuracy of the primary source materials, which may vary by WMD. It is estimated that the positional accuracy of "breaks" between individual ESI shoreline classes is roughly 50-60 meters, based on previous ESI research conducted for NOAA over the last two years. Due to the interpretation of DOQQs as a part of this project, the ESI classification update may exceed this positional accuracy.
