These data are intended as a general reference map only. More information on activities permitted in individual areas can be found on the FWC Division of Freshwater Fisheries Web site: https://myfwc.com/fishing/freshwater/sites-forecasts/fish-management/. This GIS data set was created to represent a comprehensive statewide data set of Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC) Fish Management Areas. 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. 20190822 Based on information from the FWC Division of Freshwater fisheries Management Complete None planned -87.298147 -79.915768 31.007141 25.721606 ISO 19115 Topic Category boundaries ISO 19115 Topic Category environment geoscientificInformation boundaries FWRItheme fish mapping GIS bounds boundaries managed areas Florida Counties FWC Region FWC Region-North Central FWC Region-Northwest FWC Region-South FWC Region-Southwest FWC Region-Northeast Florida Waterbodies Water Management Districts Northwest Florida Water Management District Suwannee River Water Management District Southwest Florida Water Management District South Florida Water Management District St. Johns River Water Management District FWRIplace Florida statewide Available without restriction.

A total of 11 Fish Management Areas (FMAs) that were no longer designated as FMAs by FWC’s Division of Freshwater Fisheries were removed from the dataset. By the same authority, 3 FMAs were added: (1) Edward Medard Park FMA, (2) Baymeadows FMA, and (3) Largo Central Park Preserve FMA. Additionally, Crescent Lake was added to the Clermont Chain FMA, and Tenoroc FMA was edited to include 26 individual lakes, instead of a single representative polygon. 20190822 Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission-Fish and Wildlife Research Institute GISLibrarian GIS Data Librarian mailing and physical

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 None.
