The data was received as a shapefile in projection: NAD_1983_2011_Florida_GDL_Albers. The dataset was projected to NAD_1983_HARN_Florida_GDL_Albers using the NAD_1983_HARN_To_NAD_1983_2011 transformation. - Added a FGDLAQDATE field based on date received from source - Renamed shapefile from mangrove_fl_poly to mangroves_2020 - Deleted fields SHAPE.LEN and SHAPE.AREA - Upcased all records in the attribute table There is a change in the naming convention of this dataset. Although the source of modifications comes from 2014-16 landcover from SFWMD, we are naming the dataset based on the date these changes were published.

The Florida Geographic Data Library is a collection of Geospatial Data compiled by the University of Florida GeoPlan Center with support from the Florida Department of Transportation. GIS data available in FGDL is collected from various state, federal, and other agencies (data sources) who are data stewards, producers, or publishers. The data available in FGDL may not be the most current version of the data offered by the data source. University of Florida GeoPlan Center makes no guarantees about the currentness of the data and suggests that data users check with the data source to see if more recent versions of the data exist.

A note about data scale: Scale is an important factor in data usage. Certain scale datasets are not suitable for some project, analysis, or modeling purposes. Please be sure you are using the best available data. 1:24000 scale datasets are recommended for projects that are at the county level. 1:24000 data should NOT be used for high accuracy base mapping such as property parcel boundaries. 1:100000 scale datasets are recommended for projects that are at the multi-county or regional level. 1:125000 scale datasets are recommended for projects that are at the regional or state level or larger. Vector datasets with no defined scale or accuracy should be considered suspect. Make sure you are familiar with your data before using it for projects or analysis. Every effort has been made to supply the user with data documentation. For additional information, see the References section and the Data Source Contact section of this documentation. For more information regarding scale and accuracy, see our webpage at: http://geoplan.ufl.edu/education.html SHP http://myfwc.com/research/ None.
