TITLE: CLIP Version 4 - Wetlands for the State of Florida 

Geodataset Name:       CLIPV4_WETLAND
Geodataset Type:       RASTER
Geodataset Feature:    15-METER CELL
Feature Count:         7
GENERAL DESCRIPTION:
The location appears to be a wetland land cover type. Highest priorities indicate wetlands within large intact natural landscapes (although the wetlands themselves may be small or large). Lowest priorities indicate wetlands within fragmented landscapes surrounded by intensive agriculture or urban development; these may still have conservation value. This data layer was created by FNAI, in consultation with water resource experts, originally to inform the Florida Forever environmental land acquisition program. Wetlands were mapped based on the FNAI/FWC Cooperative Land Cover (CLC) data layer, which is a compilation of best-available land cover data for the entire state. The CLC is based on both remote-sensed (from aerial photography, primarily from water management district FLUCCS data) and ground-truthed (from field surveys on many conservation lands) data. Wetlands are prioritized by overlap with FNAI Potential Natural Areas and the UF Land Use Intensity Index (a component of the Landscape Integrity Index).

USER NOTES:








Data have been checked for consistency

Areas Inventory, Tallahassee, FL (available online at www.fnai.org).













GeoPlan relied on the integrity of the attribute information within
the original data.

























This data set was developed as part of the Florida Forever Conservation Needs 
Assessment. These data are intended to address specific performance measures of 
the Florida Forever program and may not be appropriate for general use, and are not 
intended for use in a regulatory decision-making process.















This data is provided 'as is' and its horizontal positional accuracy
has not been verified by GeoPlan

This wetlands layer is based primarily on remote-sensed data, and is not accurate 
enough for regulatory wetlands delineation. Minimum mapping unit was 0.5 acres, 
so smaller wetlands are not included. Some pine plantations that could be classified 
as wetlands are not included.














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:
