Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission, Office of Public Access and Wildlife Viewing Services 20150817 vector digital data St. Petersburg, FL Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission-Fish and Wildlife Research Institute State of Florida http://geodata.myfwc.com/ These data represent the site locations of the Great Florida Birding Trail. The GFBWT is a program of the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission. At its core is a network of nearly 500 sites throughout Florida selected for their excellent bird watching, wildlife viewing or educational opportunities. This is an update to GFBT_2009. To provide locational information and access URLs to site locations of the Great Florida Birding Trail. This 2,000-mile, self-guided highway trail is designed to conserve and enhance Florida's wildlife habitats by promoting bird watching and wildlife viewing activities, conservation education and economic opportunity. 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. 20150817 publication date Complete As needed -87.436631 -79.898590 30.929632 24.511560 None location environment biota ISO 19115 Topic Categories biota environment location These data are unrestricted.

Boland imported these data into a personal geodatabase and formatted the imported fields appropriately. Two records did not import correctly because of <NULL> values in the Latitude and Longitude fields. Upon further inspection, these two records were deleted because they were listed as "CLOSED" in the SITENAME field. He then imported the table into a file geodatabase, resizing the fields appropriately. In ArcMap, Boland imported the XY data from the file gdb table using the Latitude and Longitude fields in the WGS84 Datum. He then exported the data out as a point feature class and finally projected it into NAD83(2011)_Florida_GDL_Albers_meter projection.

When downloaded the data was in shapefile format and the coordinate system was NAD_1983. The data was projected to GCS_North_American_1983_HARN using the NAD_1983_To_HARN_Florida transformation. -Added DESCRIPT field, populated it based on SITENAME -Added FGDLAQDATE and populated it based on the date GeoPlan received the data -Recalculated LATITUDE and LONGITUDE -Restructured table -Uppercased all fields -Renamed data from GreatFloridaBirdingTrail_FL_pnt to gfbt_2015. Please Note: Previous TRGIS data layers (prior to 2014) were misidentified in the metadata as being in Albers HARN. FFWCC-FWRI said all TRGIS data is PCS Albers (Not HARN). The data now has a HARN transformation and so all of the data is shifted (<1m) from previous FGDL versions.

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.
