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.

More recent data are available from FMRI for the South Florida Water Management District area. The original regional data sets may contain more detailed seagrass attribution schemes. This polygon GIS data set represents a compilation of statewide seagrass data from various source agencies and scales. The data sources were mapped from photography ranging in date from 1987 to 1999. The original source data sets were not all classified in the same manner; some used the Florida Land Use Cover and Forms Classification System (FLUCCS) codes 9113 for discontinuous seagrass and 9116 for continuous seagrass; some defined only presence and absence of seagrass, and some defined varying degrees of seagrass percent cover. In order to merge all of these data sources into one compilation data set, FMRI reclassified the various source data attribute schemes into two categories: "continuous" and "discontinuous" seagrass.Downloaded Onlinepublication dateSpatial Attribute InformationFlorida Marine Research Institute (FMRI)20030000vector digital datahttp://www.floridamarine.org/N/A1999ground conditionFMRIFMRI staff MAPJOINed seven regional seagrass data sets using ArcInfo Workstation. The source data sets had different attribute schemes, that FMRI staff consolidated into two categories for this data set: "continuous " and "discontinuous" seagrass. In areas of overlap between source data sets, the more recent source was used. No edgematching was performed between data sets of differing source dates. FMRI converted these data to shapefile and geodatabase format for additional analyses. Data have been UNIONed with county boundaries extended beyond Florida state waters.FMRI20030000GeoPlan downloaded this data in shapefile format from the FMRI FTP site: ftp.floridamarine.org/users/ism/datareq/ and projected to FGDL Albers HPGN.
