- Abstract:
-
This data set represents the extent, approximate location and type of wetlands and deepwater habitats in the conterminous United States. These data delineate the areal extent of wetlands and surface waters as defined by Cowardin et al. (1979). Certain wetland habitats are excluded from the National mapping program because of the limitations of aerial imagery as the primary data source used to detect wetlands. These habitats include seagrasses or submerged aquatic vegetation that are found in the intertidal and subtidal zones of estuaries and near shore coastal waters. Some deepwater reef communities (coral or tuberficid worm reefs) have also been excluded from the inventory. These habitats, because of their depth, go undetected by aerial imagery. By policy, the Service also excludes certain types of "farmed wetlands" as may be defined by the Food Security Act or that do not coincide with the Cowardin et al. definition. Contact the Service's Regional Wetland Coordinator for additional information on what types of farmed wetlands are included on wetland maps
- Purpose:
-
The present goal of the Service is to provide the citizens of the
United States and its Trust Territories with current geospatially
referenced information on the status, extent, characteristics and
functions of wetlands, riparian, deepwater and related aquatic
habitats in priority areas to promote the understanding and
conservation of these resources.
- Supplemental_Information:
-
This data set represents the extent, approximate location and type
of wetlands and deepwater habitats in the state of Florida.
The wetland maps were produced as topical overlays using U.S.
Geological Survey topographic maps as the base. The hard copy
product is a composite map showing topographic and planimetric
features from the USGS map base and wetlands and deepwater
habitats from the Service's topical overlay. Thus, the data are
intended for use in publications, at a scale of 1:24,000 or smaller.
Due to the scale, the primary intended use is for regional and
watershed data display and analysis, rather than specific project
data analysis. The map products were neither designed or intended
to represent legal or regulatory products.
Comments regarding the interpretation or classification of wetlands
or deepwater habitats can be directed to the U.S. Fish and Wildlife
Service, Division of Federal Program Activities, Branch of Habitat
Assessment <http://www.fws.gov/duspit/contactus.htm>

of wetlands or deepwater habitats can be addressed by visiting <http://www.fws.gov/wetlands/FAQs.html>
These data were developed in conjunction with the publication
Cowardin, L.M., V. Carter, F.C. Golet, and E.T. LaRoe. 1979.
Classification of Wetlands and Deepwater Habitats of the United
States. U.S. Department of the Interior, Fish and Wildlife Service,
Washington, DC. FWS/OBS-79/31. Alpha-numeric map codes
have been developed to correspond to the wetland and deepwater
classifications described.
These spatial data are not designed to stand alone. They form
topical overlays to the U.S. Geological Survey 1:24,000 or 1:25,000
scale topographic quadrangles. Note that coastline delineations
were drawn to follow the extent of wetland or deepwater features
as described by this project and may not match the coastline shown
in other base maps.
Any use of trade, product, or firm names is for descriptive purposes
only and does not imply endorsement by the U.S. Government.
Although this Federal Geographic Data Committee-compliant
metadata file is intended to document the data set in nonproprietary
form, as well as in Arc/INFO format, this metadata file may include
some Arc/INFO-specific terminology.
The wetland classification system is hierarchical, with wetlands and
deepwater habitats divided among five major systems at the broadest
level. The five systems include Marine (open ocean and associated
coastline), Estuarine (salt marshes and brackish tidal water), Riverine
(rivers, creeks, and streams), Lacustrine (lakes and deep ponds), and
Palustrine (shallow ponds, marshes, swamps, sloughs). Systems are
further subdivided into subsystems which reflect hydrologic conditions.
Below the subsystem is the class which describes the appearance of
the wetland in terms of vegetation or substrate. Each class is further
subdivided into subclasses; vegetated subclasses are described in
terms of life form and substrate subclasses in terms of composition.
The classification system also includes modifiers to describe hydrology
(water regime), soils, water chemistry (pH, salinity), and special modifiers
relating to man's activities (e.g., impounded, partly drained). See chart
below for details:

This data set represents the extent of wetlands and deepwater habitats
that can be determined with the use of remotely sensed data and within
the timeframe for which the maps were produced. Wetlands are shown
here only for the state of Florida and small areas outside of the state. The
accuracy of image interpretation depends on the quality of the imagery,
the experience of the image analysts, the amount and quality of the
collateral data, and the amount of ground truth verification work conducted.
There is a margin error inherent in the use of imagery, thus detailed on the
ground inspection of any particular site, may result in revision of the wetland
boundaries or classification, established through image analysis.
Wetlands or other mapped features may have changed since the date or
the imagery and/or field work. There may be occasional differences in
polygon boundaries or classifications between the information depicted on
the map and the actual conditions on site.

Original stable base hard copy maps of wetland and deepwater habitats
were created based on USGS state and quadrangle boundaries. These
maps were converted to digital files using various software packages
(WAMS, ARC and others). The digital files were stored as ESRI Import/
Export files corresponding to a single 1:24,000 USGS quadrangle. These
digital files were imported and converted to ESRI Coverage format and
checked for topological and attribute errors. All coverages were converted
from a UTM map projection to an Alber's Equal Area map projection and
the horizontal datum was converted from NAD27 to NAD83 were necessary.
Polygons attributed as "Uplands" were removed from the dataset and polygons
were merged at quadrangle boundaries where the quadrangle line divided
polygons with the same attribute. The data was loaded into a seamless SDE
geodatabase for the conterminous United States. These steps were conducted
using both Arc Macro Language (AML) and ArcMap editing tools. All point
data from the original ESRI Coverages were buffered by 11.28 meters
(1/10 of an acre) and incorporated into this polygon feature class. Linear
features from the original ESRI Coverages were merged at quadrangle
boundaries where the quadrangle line divided lines with the same attribute.
Linear data is stored in a separate feature class.
Further data improvements included the conversion of all old wetland codes
that contained 'OW' to the new code containing 'UB'. All polygons labeled
as 'OUT', 'No Data' and 'NP' were removed from the database.

The Florida Geographic Data Library is a collection of Geospatial Data
compiled by the University of Florida GeoPlan Center with support from
the Florida Department of Transportation. GIS data available in FGDL is
collected from various state, federal, and other agencies (data sources)
who are data stewards, producers, or publishers. The data available in
FGDL may not be the most current version of the data offered by the
data source. University of Florida GeoPlan Center makes no guarantees
about the currentness of the data and suggests that data users check
with the data source to see if more recent versions of the data exist.
Furthermore, the GIS data available in the FGDL are provided 'as is'.
The University of Florida GeoPlan Center makes no warranties, guaranties
or representations as to the truth, accuracy or completeness of the data
provided by the data sources. The University of Florida GeoPlan Center
makes no representations or warranties about the quality or suitability
of the materials, either expressly or implied, including but not limited
to any implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular
purpose, or non-infringement. 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:
