FEATURE ATTRIBUTE TABLES CODES AND VALUES:
ITEM ITEM DESCRIPTION
SHAPE Data attribute inherent to the ESRI shapefile format,
which defines the data as a point, polyline, or polygon.
GISID Unique 5 digit numeric identifier, designed by FNAI.
MACODE Managed Area code, designed by The Nature Conservancy.
Unique identifier for each Managed Area, beginning with "M.USFLHP*".
MANAME Official name of the Managed Area, as determined by the managing
agency. Note that in some cases a Managed Area is contained within
a larger Managed Area (see MAJORMA and MAJORMANAME below). To
select all of the polygons for a Managed Area that contains one or
more smaller Managed Areas, query on both NAME and MAJORMANAME.
MAJORMA MACODE for the major Managed Area. Major Managed Area refers to a
larger managed area that contains the managed area in question.
For example, Abe Trull Research Natural Area is contained within
St. Marks National Wildlife Refuge. For Abe Trull RNA, St. Marks
NWR is the Major Managed Area, and the MAJORMA is M.USFLHP*126
(= MACODE for St. Marks NWR). When the Managed Area is not part
of a larger managed area, this attribute item is coded "N/A."
MAJORMANAM Official name of the major Managed Area that contains the Managed
Area in question. For example, the MAJORMANAME for Abe Trull
Research Natural Area is St. Marks National Wildlife Refuge.
To select all of the polygons for a Managed Area that contains
one or more smaller Managed Areas, query on both NAME and
MAJORMANAME.
MATYPE Five digit code for the Managed Area by lead managing agency.
Each MA has been coded as:
1st Digit = Managing Agency Category (See codes below)
2nd and 3rd digits = Managing Agency (See codes below)

(If MA unit type is unknown, managing agency code is repeated.)
If a managing agency has only one type of MA Unit, the MA Unit Type
code can be the managing agency code repeated (e.g., for Audubon of
Florida sanctuaries, the code is PFAFA).
MATYPE2 Code for the Managed Area by agency category. It is used to
identify properties managed by the Federal Government (TYPE2 = 'F'),
State Government (TYPE2 = 'S'), a Local Government (TYPE2 = 'L'),
or a Private Organization or Individual (TYPE2 = 'P').
OWNERCODE 3 digit code for the main owner of the Managed Area. Note that for
some Managed Areas, the managing agency is different from the owner.
The notation for OWNERCODE is the same as that for Managing Agency
codes in TYPE (see explanation of TYPE for coding options and
definitions).
1st digit = Owner by category:
F = Federal
S = State
L = Local
P = Private
2nd & 3rd digit = Abbreviations for owning agency/entity
(e.g. AF = Air Force)
COOWNER Code(s) for additional owner(s) of the managed area (i.e., in
addition to the agency listed in OWNERCODE, these agencies own at
least a portion of the managed area). See TYPE for coding options
and definitions. If there are no coowners, this field is coded "N/A."
TOTACRES Total acreage of the Managed Area, as provided by the managing agency.
Figures are NOT GIS-calculated (i.e., not polygon-based).
LTF_ACRES Number of acres within the managed area that are in
less-than-fee ownership. Not GIS calculated.
COUNTYCODE Abbreviation for the county or counties where the Managed Area
is located.
PROTSTAT Protection status, either 1,2, or 3. A single-digit code as follows:
Category I (PROTSTAT = 1)
-------------------------
This is the highest protection and reserved for lands that are
specifically and judiciously managed for biodiversity protection.
This category includes lands ownedby private entities that are
managed for biodiversity conservation, and lands administered by
public agencies that are specially designated for biodiversity
conservation through legislative action where natural events
proceed without interference or are mimicked through management.
The governmental agency acting alone cannot change these designations
without legislative action and public involvement. Examples include
The Nature Conservancy preserves and other private preserves committed
to biodiversity conservation, preserves that are state-owned and managed,
some national parks, federal wilderness areas, and some local preserves.
For FNAI purposes, this designation will generally apply to the
following: private sanctuaries and preserves, state preserves and
botanical sites, many local preserves purchased and managed as
environmentally sensitive lands, most national parks and seashores,
national marine sanctuaries, and federal research natural areas..
Category II (PROTSTAT = 2)
--------------------------
This second category applies to lands that are generally managed
for their natural values but that may incur additional uses such as
habitat manipulation for game species and/or some recreation
infrastructure. These activities will likely degrade the quality of
natural communities locally but the majority of the land will be
managed for biodiversity protection. It also includes public lands
with administrative designations for biodiversity conservation.
Examples include private preserves managed for game species, national
wildlife refuges, BLM areas of critical environmental concern, and
state parks. For FNAI purposes, this designation will generally apply
to the following: state parks, state reserves, state geological sites,
state buffer preserves and aquatic preserves, wildlife and environmental
areas, national wildlife refuges, some national park lands, and many
locally managed lands purchased for natural resource protection.
Category III (PROTSTAT = 3)
---------------------------
This category applies to lands maintained for multiple uses, including
consumptive or recreational values, and not specifically or wholly
dedicated to biodiversity conservation. It also includes lands with
restricted development rights. Unrestricted public access is one
criterion that may cause a property to be placed into this category.
Examples include most nondesignated (i.e., multiple-use) public lands
administered by the U.S. Department of Agriculture Forest Service and
Bureau of Land Management, Department of Defense lands, state forests,
regional and large local parks and open space, and private lands
protected from subdivision by conservation easements and other title
restrictions. For FNAI purposes, this designation will apply to state
recreation areas, state gardens and trails, state forests, wildlife
management areas, mitigation parks, lands managed by FL DEP Office of
Greenways and Trails, most water management district properties,
national forests, most Department of Defense lands, many local parks,
and conservation easements on private properties. It also includes
lands tracked primarily for administrative reasons, such as state
historic and archaeological sites, state museums, fish management
areas, national memorials, and national fish hatcheries.

USER NOTES:
A note concerning 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 multicounty or regional level. 1:250000 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 analyses. 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 web pages at: http://www.geoplan.ufl.edu/education.html This dataset has been updated from the previous version on FGDL 3.0.

DATA LINEAGE SUMMARY:
Data was recieved in ARC/INFO export interchange file format by the GeoPlan Center in 2002 from FNAI. The dataset's prior history from FNAI is as follows: This GIS coverage was generated by using ARC/INFO ver 8.0.1 (unix) and exported to NONE compressed .e00 format. Information in the MA data layer was provided to FNAI by the individual managing agencies. Boundary information on managed areas was originally in either digital format or on paper source maps with varying scales. New digital boundary files were integrated into FLMA by FNAI GIS staff. In the case of paper source maps, boundaries were either transcribed by FNAI staff onto 1:24,000 USGS topographic quadrangles and then digitized, or boundaries from paper maps were transcribed by FNAI staff in ArcView using underlying USGS 1:24,000 DRG and on screen digitization methods. FNAI GIS staff then integrated these new digital boundaries into FLMA. An item SOURCE in the polygon feature class of coverage FLMA indicates whether GIS boundaries for each polygon were provided by outside agencies (i.e., "DIGITAL BOUNDARIES PROVIDED BY SOUTHWEST FLORIDA WATER MANAGEMENT DISTRICT") or were FNAI transcribed and digitized as described above (i.e., "FNAI MAPPING AND DIGITIZING"). The following digitizers were used by the FNAI GIS: CalComp DBII, accuracy of +/- .01 inch CalComp DBIII, accuracy of +/- .005 inch CalComp 9500 Series, accuracy of +/- .005 inch The PC ArcView versions 3.1 and 3.2 are used to do some on screen digitization.
