Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC) 20200527 vector digital data www.fgdl.org Point locations of rare and imperiled fish collections compiled from various sources intersected with HUC 12 watersheds. Only the most current occurrence of each species found in the watershed are retained.This is an update to the FGDL dataset RARIMPWATERS_2019. The purpose was to identify watersheds (HUC 12) in the State of Florida that contain the most recent occurrences of freshwater fish species that are listed as rare or imperiled based upon federal, state, FCREPA. and the Southeastern Fishes Council listings. Prior to July 1, 2004, the Fish and Wildlife Research Institute (FWRI) was known as the Florida Marine Research Institute (FMRI). The institute name has not been changed in historical data sets or references to work completed by the Florida Marine Research Institute. The institute name has been changed in references to ongoing research, new research, and contact information. 20200527 publication date Complete Annually -87.721378 -79.884761 31.131835 24.471714 None biota operational tiers stream GIS huc 12 FWC HUC12 fish rare imperiled ISO 19115 Topic Categories biota None Florida None 2020 None Acknowledgement of the FWC-FWRI (Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission-Fish and Wildlife Research Institute) as the data source would be appreciated in any products developed from these data, and such acknowledgment as is standard for citation and legal practices for data source is expected by users of this data.

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.

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.
