Department of Commerce (DOC), National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), Office Of National Marine Sanctuaries (ONMS), National Marine Protected Areas Center (MPAC) 20200115 2020 version vector digital data This dataset contains Marine Protected Areas (MPA) Inventory sites located in and around the State of Florida. The NOAA MPA Inventory (v2020) is a comprehensive catalog that provides detailed information for existing marine protected areas in the United States. The inventory provides geospatial boundary information (in polygon format) and classification attributes that seek to define the conservation objectives, protection level, governance and related management criteria for all sites in the database. The comprehensive inventory of federal, state and territorial MPA sites provides governments and stakeholders with access to information to make better decisions about the current and future use of place-based conservation. NOTE that this data layer represents IUCN MPAs only. IUCN MPAs are those sites that meet the IUCN definition of protected area as published in 2019 guidelines: 'A protected area is a clearly defined geographical space, recognised, dedicated and managed, through legal or other effective means, to achieve the longterm conservation of nature with associated ecosystem services and cultural values'. This is an update to the FGDL dataset MPA_JUN17.shp The NOAA MPA Inventory represents a collection of data compiled from various federal, state, tribal and territorial entities to provide a publicly available source of comprehensive information on place-based marine conservation efforts under U.S. federal, state, territorial, local, and tribal jurisdiction. This dataset consists of original boundaries as represented by the managing agencies, including any terrestrial components of the protected areas. Boundaries include terrestrial areas, but only the sub-tidal components of the areas meet the definition of an MPA. All area-based calculations made using World Eckert IV projection and may vary from areas cited for sites by their managing agency. Version Notes: 2020: Removed all non-IUCN protected areas from 2017 version. Updated IUCN classification for all sites, added new National Marine Sanctuary, added/revised National Wildlife Refuge boundaries and classification, added no-take zones as separate boundaries for some Zoned with No-Take area sites, added/updated NMFS sites in Greater Atlantic and Alaska, reviewed boundaries and classification for National Parks, National Estuarine Research Reserves and Monuments, added new Category field to tag water quality sites, fishery management areas and potential Other Effective Conservation Measure areas.
