Source polygons were developed from the BIOTICS ArcView application. The polygons were imported into an ArcInfo region using ArcInfo 9.1. Overlaps less than 0.002 meters were removed using the ArcInfo CLEAN command. The ArcInfo region was then converted into a polygon shapefile using ArcMap 9.1. Information in the FLMA data layer was provided to FNAI by the individual managing agencies. Boundary information on managed areas was originally in either digital format or on paper source maps with varying scales. New digital boundary files were integrated into FLMA by FNAI staff. In the case of paper source maps, boundaries were either transcribed by FNAI staff onto 1:24,000 USGS topographic quadrangles and then digitized, or boundaries from paper maps were transcribed by FNAI staff in ArcView or ArcMap using underlying USGS 1:24,000 DRG and/or 2004 DOQQs and on-screen digitization methods. FNAI staff then integrated these new digital boundaries into FLMA. The attribute item DIG_COM in the FLMA layer provides details on the derivation of boundaries for individual managed areas. The following digitizers were used by the FNAI staff: CalComp DBII, accuracy of +/- .01 inch CalComp DBIII, accuracy of +/- .005 inch CalComp 9500 Series, accuracy of +/- .005 inch When digital boundaries from one source overlapped with digital boundaries from another source, the boundaries were adjusted by FNAI staff to eliminate the overlapping areas. Adjustments were made based on the best known information about the source of the boundaries. All overlaps greater than 0.002 meters were removed using this process. GeoPlan downloaded this dataset from the Florida Natural Areas Inventory website (http://www.fnai.org/gis_data.cfm) in January 2007. The data downloaded was in shapefile format and was in the following projection: Albers HPGN. - All records were upcased. - Changed original layer name from FLMA to flma_DEC06. - A DESCRIPT field was added based on MANAME - A FGDLAQDATE field was added based on date of download. 20070102 Vector G-polygon 1644 Albers Conical Equal Area 24.000000 31.500000 -84.000000 24.000000 400000.000000 0.000000 coordinate pair 0.002048 0.002048 meters D_North_American_1983_HARN Geodetic Reference System 80 6378137.000000 298.257222 1.000000 Explicit elevation coordinate included with horizontal coordinates FLMA_DEC06 FLMA_DEC06.DBF OBJECTID Internal feature number. ESRI Sequential unique whole numbers that are automatically generated. MANAGED_AR Managed Area ID, designed by NatureServe. Unique identifier for each Managed Area. MACODE_BCD Managed Area Code, designed by The Nature Conservancy. Unique identifier for each Managed Area, beginning with "M.USFLHP*". MANAME Official name of the Managed Area (conservation land), as determined by the managing agency. Note that in some cases a Managed Area is contained within a larger Managed Area (see MAJOR_MA below). To select all of the polygons for a Managed Area that contains one or more smaller Managed Areas, query on both MANAME and MAJOR_MA. MAJORNAME Official name of the Major Managed Area. Major Managed Area refers to a larger Managed Area that contains the Managed Area in question. For example, Abe Trull Research Natural Area is contained within St. Marks National Wildlife Refuge. For Abe Trull RNA, St. Marks NWR is the Major Managed Area and the MAJOR_MA is St. Marks NWR. When the Managed Area is not part of a larger Managed Area, this attribute item appears as "ZZ". To select all of the polygons for a Managed Area that contains one or more smaller Managed Areas, query on both MANAME and MAJOR_MA. MATYPE Code for the Managed Area by lead managing agency.

MANAGING_A Name of the lead managing agency for the Managed Area. MATYPE2 Code for Managed Area by managing agency category. Florida Natural Areas Inventory F Federal Government The Nature Conservancy and the Florida Natural Areas Inventory S State Government The Nature Conservancy and the Florida Natural Areas Inventory L Local Government The Nature Conservancy and the Florida Natural Areas Inventory P Private Organization or Individual The Nature Conservancy and the Florida Natural Areas Inventory OWNER Name of the main owner of the Managed Area. Additional owners, if any, are listed in COOWNERs. Note that for some Managed Areas, the managing agency is different from the owner. COOWNERS Name(s) of additional owner(s) of the managed area (i.e., in addition to the agency listed in OWNER, these agencies own a portion of the managed area). TOTACRES Total number of acres within the Managed Area. Figures are not GIS calculated (i.e., not polygon-based) unless specified in COMMENTS 1(2). Managed Area acreage figures are obtained directly from the managing agencies. LTF_ACRES Number of acres within the Managed Area that are in less-than-fee ownership. Figures are not GIS calculated (i.e., not polygon-based) unless specified in COMMENTS 1(2). Acreage figures are obtained directly from the managing agencies. COUNTY Abbreviation (the first four letters of the county name) for the county or counties where the Managed Area is located (exception: DADE = Miami-Dade County). PROTSTAT Protection Status. The Nature Conservancy and the Florida Natural Areas Inventory 1 Category I. This is the highest protection and reserved for lands that are specifically and judiciously managed for biodiversity protection. This category includes lands owned by private entities that are managed for biodiversity conservation, and lands administered by public agencies that are specially designated for biodiversity conservation through legislative action where natural events proceed without interference or are mimicked through management. The governmental agency acting alone cannot change these designations without legislative action and public involvement. Examples include The Nature Conservancy preserves and other private preserves committed to biodiversity conservation, preserves that are state-owned and managed, some national parks, federal wilderness areas, and some local preserves. For FNAI purposes, this designation will generally apply to the following: private sanctuaries and preserves, state preserves and botanical sites, many local preserves purchased and managed as environmentally sensitive lands, most national parks and seashores, national marine sanctuaries, and federal research natural areas. 2 Category II. This second category applies to lands that are generally managed for their natural values but that may incur additional uses such as habitat manipulation for game species and/or some recreation infrastructure. These activities will likely degrade the quality of natural communities locally but the majority of the land will be managed for biodiversity protection. It also includes public lands with administrative designations for biodiversity conservation. Examples include private preserves managed for game species, national wildlife refuges, BLM areas of critical environmental concern, and state parks. For FNAI purposes, this designation will generally apply to the following: state parks, state reserves, state geological sites, state buffer preserves and aquatic preserves, wildlife and environmental areas, national wildlife refuges, some national park lands, and many locally managed lands purchased for natural resource protection. 3 Category III. This category applies to lands maintained for multiple uses, including consumptive or recreational values, and not specifically or wholly dedicated to biodiversity conservation. It also includes lands with restricted development rights. Unrestricted public access is one criterion that may cause a property to be placed into this category. Examples include most nondesignated (i.e., multiple-use) public lands administered by the U.S. Department of Agriculture Forest Service and Bureau of Land Management, Department of Defense lands, state forests, regional and large local parks and open space, and private lands protected from subdivision by conservation easements and other title restrictions. For FNAI purposes, this designation will apply to state recreation areas, state gardens and trails, state forests, wildlife management areas, mitigation parks, lands managed by FL DEP Office of Greenways and Trails, most water management district properties, national forests, most Department of Defense lands, many local parks, and conservation easements on private properties. It also includes lands tracked primarily for administrative reasons, such as state historic and archaeological sites, state museums, fish management areas, national memorials, and national fish hatcheries. MANAGER Name and/or official job title of the current manager of the Managed Area. MGRINST Manager Institution. Part of the manager's address. MGRCITY Manager City. City where the manager works. Part of the manger's address. MGRPHONE Manager Phone. Area code and phone number of the manager. DESC1 General description of the Managed Area, focusing on natural communities and rare species found within the Managed Area. This attribute has been split into two parts because of the shapefile text field limitation. DESC2 Description, continued from DESC1. COMMENTS1 General comments concerning a Managed Area. This attribute has been split into two parts because of the shapefile text field limitation. COMMENTS2 General comments concerning a Managed Area. This attribute has been split into two parts because of the shapefile text field limitation. DIG_COM Source of the digital boundaries and date. Indicates whether GIS boundaries were provided by an outside agency (e.g., "DIGITAL BOUNDARIES PROVIDED BY SOUTHWEST FLORIDA WATER MANAGEMENT DISTRICT") or were transcribed and digitized by FNAI staff as described earlier (i.e., "FNAI MAPPING AND DIGITIZING"). Includes date (month/year) digital boundary file was received by FNAI and/or revisions were made by FNAI staff. MANAME_AB A shortened (abbreviated) name of the Managed Area (used primarily for map labeling). DESCRIPT GeoPlan added item based on MANAME GeoPlan FGDLAQDATE Date GeoPlan downloaded data from source. GeoPlan SHAPE Feature geometry. ESRI Coordinates defining the features. AUTOID Unique ID added by GeoPlan GeoPlan SHAPE.AREA Area in meters GeoPlan SHAPE.LEN Perimeter in meters GeoPlan Overview: ZZ = Not applicable or data not available. When performing statistical analyses on the TOTACRES field (i.e., using ArcView or ArcGIS to calculate total acreages for a group of Managed Areas), subtract all Managed Areas that are a part of a major Managed Area (i.e., Managed Areas that have a MAJOR_MA). This is necessary to avoid duplication of acreages since the TOTACRES field for a major Managed Area includes the acreage(s) of smaller Managed Area(s) nested within it.
