Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission - Fish and Wildlife Research Institute 20170919 vector digital data Tallahassee, FL Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission-Fish and Wildlife Research Institute State of Florida http://geodata.myfwc.com/pages/downloads Known bald eagle nesting territories within the state of Florida were surveyed by the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC) during the 2016 nesting season with fixed-wing or rotary-wing aircraft. Nest locations were determined with the use of aircraft-based Global Positioning System (GPS) units. Accuracy of locations is estimated to be within 0.1 miles of the true location. Locations are given in longitude and latitude to hundredths of a minute. The Township, Range, and Section of each nest location are also provided. Township, Range, and Section were determined from the Public Land Survey System grid that includes Land Grant parcels. Yearly nest activity status is listed for the 1998 through 2016 nesting seasons. 'Y' denotes an active nest, 'N' denotes an inactive nest, 'U' denotes a nest that was visited but status was undetermined, '-' denotes an unobserved nest, and '*' denotes a nest that was not surveyed. New Survey Protocol: In 2008 the statewide bald eagle nesting territory survey protocol changed. The protocol change reduces annual statewide survey effort and increases the amount of information gained from the nests that are visited during the survey season. Nest productivity is now determined for a sub-sample of the nests that are surveyed annually. Nest activity and productivity information are critical to determining if the goals and objectives of the Bald Eagle Management Plan are being met. This is an update to the layer eagle_nests_2015. Monitor bald eagle nesting activity in Florida 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. 19980101 20160101 publication date Complete As needed -87.517207 -79.936696 30.967113 24.533517 ISO 19115 Topic Category biota None Biology None biota None Aerial Survey monitoring mapping Surveys bald eagle GIS None Florida These data are unrestricted.

FFWCC - FWRI 20160101 The GeoPlan Center took the following steps during the QA/QC process: - Downloaded the datasets from FFWCC on 7/26/2018 using this link: http://geodata.myfwc.com/pages/downloads (original dataset was in shapefile format and in the WGS 1984 geographic coordinate system). - The dataset was projected into the FGDL Albers HPGN projection using the WGS_1984_(ITRF00)_To_NAD_1983 + NAD_1983_To_HARN_Florida transformation. - OBJECTID field was removed. - DESCRIPT field added based on the NESTID field. Any records with no data in the NESTID field had their DESCRIPT field calculated as 'NO DESCRIPT AVAILABLE'. - FGDLAQDATE field added based on the date the dataset was downloaded from the source. - The longest record for each field was found and field character lengths were shortened to appropriate shortest lengths possible. - Uppercased fields and appropriate records in the dataset. - Layer name changed from Eagle_Nesting.shp to eagle_nests_2016.shp GeoPlan 20180726 Vector Entity point 2614 NAD 1983 HARN Florida GDL Albers 24.0 31.5 -84.0 24.0 400000.0 0.0 coordinate pair 0.0001 0.0001 meter D North American 1983 HARN GRS 1980 6378137.0 298.257222101 EAGLE_NESTS_2016 EAGLE_NESTS_2016.DBF FFWCC-FWRI OBJECTID Internal feature number.

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.
