      <abstract>Aquatic Preserves are state-owned sovereign submerged lands in areas which have exceptional biological, aesthetic, and scientific value, as described in Chapter 258.39, Florida Statutes, which have been set aside for the benefit of future generations. These areas are managed by the Florida Department of Environmental Protection's Office of Coastal and Aquatic Managed Areas.Currently, all Aquatic Preserves are also Outstanding Florida Waters (OFWs). However, it is important to note that there are three Aquatic Preserves whose OFW boundaries differ from the Aquatic Preserve boundary. These are described more specifically in the OFW rule 62-302.700: Indian River - Malabar to Vero Beach - does not include portions of Sebastian and Turkey creeks; Wekiva River - does not include portions of the St. Johns River; and Big Bend Seagrasses - the OFW rule specifies certain "incorporated and unincorporated areas" that are excluded from the Aquatic Preserve.</abstract>
      <purpose>This coverage has been generated to provide a graphic depiction of the Aquatic Preserve boundaries and replace previous unofficial maps. These boundaries are only approximate and should not be used for enforcement or permitting purposes. Please see the use constraints for more details.</purpose>

    <useconst>1. This is not a survey. 2. Boundaries are based on the aquatic preserve descriptions in Section 258.39, Florida Statutes. 3. The boundaries delineated are based on interpretation of aerial photography and on maps and surveys on record in the Bureau of Survey and Mapping, Division of State Lands. 4. All boundaries are approximate. The accurate location of the mean or ordinary high water line will require a field review or survey. 5. Privately owned submerged lands and any publicly owned and maintained navigation channel or public works project as defined in Section 258.40, Florida Statutes, are not identified. 6. For accurate determination of specific sites, contact the Title and Land Records Section of the Bureau of Survey and Mapping, Division of State Lands, 3900 Commonwealth Boulevard, MS 108, Tallahassee, Florida 32399; Phone: (850) 245-2788; Fax: (850) 412-0613.</useconst>

        <procdesc>This dataset was downloaded by the GeoPlan Center on 7/1/2020 from the FDEP website (http://geodata.dep.state.fl.us/). The data was received as a geodatabase and was in the following projection: NAD_1983_2011_Florida_GDL_Albers. The dataset was projected to NAD_1983_HARN_Florida_GDL_Albers using the NAD_1983_HARN_To_NAD_1983_2011 transformation. - Added the field DESCRIPT based on LONG_NAME. - Added the field FGDLAQDATE based on date downloaded from source. - Upcased all text in the attribute table. - Data set was renamed aquap_apr19 from aquatic_preserves</procdesc>

    <distliab>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: http://geoplan.ufl.edu/education.html</distliab>
