A note about data scale:

Scale is an important factor in data usage. Certain scale datasets are not suitable for some project, analysis, or modelling 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>

Data_Quality_Information:
Attribute_Accuracy:
Attribute_Accuracy_Report:
GeoPlan relied on the integrity of the attribute information within the original data.
Quantitative_Attribute_Accuracy_Assessment:
Attribute_Accuracy_Explanation:
The exising Game and Fish Commission data for regions was organized by county. Because these areas were based on County location we converted it to a more accurate depiction of actual count boundries. Some ocean areas were left off from the original coverage but Bays and Inlets can be assumed to fall under the jurisdiction of the region for which they are located. Used existing GFC data to select counties and define the areas with the 1:24000 County boundary coverage used by the Geoplan Center.
Logical_Consistency_Report:
This data is provided 'as is'. GeoPlan relied on the integrity of the original data layer's topology
Completeness_Report:
This data is provided 'as is' by GeoPlan and is complete to our knowledge.

Process_Description:
The process step describes, in general, the process used in the production of data sets. The originating agencies created the original spatial coverage. GeoPlan, during the QA/QC process included the following aspects:

-Reprojected data to FGDL Albers. -Set Precision to DOUBLE. -Set Tolerances to FGDL Standards. -Added the DESCRIPT item based on name from original coverage. -Added the following items: COUNTY, REGION_NUM, DESCRIPT
