Florida Department of Health 20160201 vector digital data Tallahassee, FL Florida Department of Health State of Florida http://www.floridahealth.gov/environmental-health/gis/gis-data.html This dataset contains the location of sampling points for the Florida Healthy Beaches Program. The statewide testing program tests for enterococci, which the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has recommended states adopt as a saltwater quality indicator. Enterococci are enteric bacteria that normally inhabit the intestinal tract of humans and animals. The presence of enteric bacteria can be an indication of fecal pollution, which may come from stormwater runoff, pets and wildlife, and human sewage. If they are present in high concentrations in recreational waters and are ingested while swimming or enter the skin through a cut or sore, they may cause human disease, infections or rashes. This is an update to the beachwtr_may11. The data was created to serve as base information for use in GIS systems for a variety of planning and analytical purposes. In 1998, five of Florida's coastal counties began monitoring for enterococci bacteria under a grant-funded pilot program. By the beginning of 2000, 11 Florida counties were participating in the program, which continued through July 2000. In August 2000, the Beach Water Sampling Program was extended to 30 of Florida's coastal counties through state legislation (Senate Bill 1412 and House Bill 2145) and funding. In addition, sampling under the new program now includes fecal coliform as well as enterococci bacteria. The rationale for selecting these two bacteria for analysis and implications of the sampling results are described below. In August 2002, the beach water sampling program began collecting water samples on a weekly basis with additional funding from U.S. EPA. The most recent results from the current program can be reviewed here: http://www.floridahealth.gov/environmental-health/beach-water-quality/index.html 20160201 publication date Complete As needed -87.476867 -79.886046 30.704643 24.506708 None oceans environment None Sampling Healthy Beaches Beaches ISO 19115 Topic Categories health oceans environment Public Data Disclaimer: Content provided by the Florida Department of Health presented herein is for informational purposes only.

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.
