Geodataset Type:       SHAPEFILE
Geodataset Feature:    Point
Feature Count:         1111
GENERAL DESCRIPTION:
This data set represents locations where Panama City crayfish (Procambarus econfinae) were observed during field surveys from 1999 through 2012. The Keppner's field surveys on St. Joe lands from April 2003 through June 2004 are included in this shapefile as well as the extended surveys done by FWC in Spring 2012. Panama City crayfish are listed as Species of Special Concern by the state of Florida. The state is currently preparing a new management plan for the crayfish.

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

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:

DATA LINEAGE SUMMARY:
Developed field structure in an empty shapefile.  Appended 34 records from original 
crayfish.shp.  Renumbered site #s and updated other fields such as location and 
count based on crayfishtablenew2003.xls provided by Ed Keppner.  In addition, 
deleted one record with no data (old site # 29) that was not in this spreadsheet.
Process Date: 
Original shapefile provided by Ed and Lisa Keppner of field surveys from 1999 thru 2002. Process Date:
Appended 815 records from pcc_9-2006.shp. Twenty-six of these records were deleted because they were identical to existing records. The appended records had no dates, so referred to crayfishFNAI.xls using a series of concatenate (of lat/long)/summarize/join/select/calculate to update the appended records with dates. Process Date:
Appended 289 records from pcc_sites_4_10_12.shp. Process Date:
GeoPlan received this from Patty Kelly of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service in February 2013. When received the data was shapefile format and Albers HARN projection. The following qaqc steps were performed: -Upcased all records except SCI_NAME -Added DESCRIPT based on LOCATION -Added FGDLAQDATE based on date data collected from source Process Date: 20130222
