<useconst>THE DATA INCLUDED IN FGDL ARE 'AS IS' AND SHOULD NOT BE CONSTRUED
AS LEGALLY BINDING. THE UNIVERSITY OF FLORIDA GEOPLAN CENTER SHALL
NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY DAMAGES SUFFERED AS A RESULT OF USING,
MODIFYING, CONTRIBUTING OR DISTRIBUTING THE MATERIALS.

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:

The Guana Tolomato Matanzas shapefile was received in the 
following projection: UTM zone 17, NAD83. The data was 
projected to FGDL Albers HARN.

Rookery Bay National Estuarine Research Reserve

The Rookery Bay shapefile was received in the following 
projection: UTM zone 17, NAD83. The data was projected 
to FGDL Albers HARN.

The individual polygons were merged to create FLNERR.

- Area and Perimeter fields were added with X-tools
- A DESCRIPT field was added based on NAME
- A FGDLAQDATE field was added based on the date 
  received from source</procdesc>
