Florida National Estuarine Resarch Reserves (NERR) Boundaries Authoritative FDEP Open Data Administrator Florida Department of Environmental Protection Florida National Estuarine Resarch Reserves (NERR) Boundaries FDEP Open Data Administrator Summary
This data is a subset of the Marine Protected Areas displaying only the boundaries of the National Estuarine Resarch Reserves present in the State of Florida.
Provides detailed boundaries for the 3 National Estuarine Research Reserves (NERR) located in Florida. The 3 NERRs are - Apalachicola NERR, Guana Tolomato Matanzas NERR, Rookery Bay NERR. A NERR is a partnership between federal and state agencies to provide for the better management of coastal resources in which the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration provides funding and guidance. Each NERR in Florida includes both lands directly managed by the Office of Resilience and Coastal Protection, and lands managed by other agencies.

Dataset Coastal Range Monument Locations Florida Department of Environmental Protection, WRM, Shared Support Program This layer was created by the Bureau of Beaches and Coastal Systems to show where monuments have been established in each of the 24 program counties. Topographic information is collected by surveying profiles at the monuments. These profiles are collected every four years as part of our Coastal Regional Monitoring Program or after a major storm event. This information provides a technical basis for construction permit review, establishment and restudy of coastal construction control lines, monitoring of shoreline changes, as well as providing a basis for assessing the need for beach restoration and other beach erosion control methods. The points are representive of the GPS location of the monuments and may not indicate an actual concrete monument. They are not to be taken as a legal description of these positions nor to be used for survey purposes. The Attribute table contains listings of the range monuments for each regulated coastal county. Dataset Outstanding Florida Waters Florida Department of Environmental Protection (DEP), Division of Environment Assessment and Restoration (DEAR) The legislature of the State of Florida established a category of surface water features called "Outstanding Florida Waters" that are to be protected from any degradation from their current water quality classification. A description of the water features eligible for inclusion as an OFW and a list of currently established OFWs is contained in Rule 62-302.700, F.A.C. Additionally, "Waters" are defined in Section 403.031, F.S., as "... rivers, lakes, streams, springs, impoundments, and wetlands ... including fresh, brackish, saline, tidal, surface, and underground waters." Chapter 62-340, F.A.C., "Delineation of the Landward Extent of Wetlands and Surface Waters" details the plants and soil types that indicate the existence of wetland or surface water, under authority granted in Section 373.421, F.S. Most of the OFWs are contained within the boundaries of publicly-owned lands managed for conservation and/or recreation so that the extent of the water features that are protected can be defined by the legal boundary of the park, recreation area, preserve, or other publicly-owned property. Three categories of OFWs do not have boundaries so described: 1) the three river segments designated as wild and scenic under the Florida Scenic and Wild Rivers Program, federal Wild and Scenic Rivers Act and the Myakka River Wild and Scenic Designation and Preservation Act; 2) the 16 streams or lakes in the National Forests, and 3) the 56 streams and lakes defined as Special Waters. As a portion of an Environmental Protection Agency Wetland Protection grant, a separate project to reduce the boundaries of the OFWs to a digital format was undertaken by the FDEP. Some digital data existed and was compiled from many different source formats and scales. These data were incorporated into a statewide coverage but because of the lack of documentation and concerns about accuracy, other approaches were investigated to improve portions of the data. Other divisions within the FDEP have felt the need to develop digital coverages for the State-owned or managed properties they oversee and are in the process of reducing the legal descriptions on deeds into a digital form by interpreting and transferring the legal description to a quad sheet or using one or another of the COGO (COordinate GeOmetry) systems. These lands include the Aquatic Preserves and the State Park boundaries. Where possible, to minimize duplication of effort, the Division of Environmental Permitting either acquired the boundaries already created for the Aquatic Preserves, or entered into a joint venture to create boundaries for the 145 lands managed by the Division of Parks and Recreation. Dataset Florida Hydrography Dataset (FHD) (Formerly NHD) - Areas (100k) Florida Department of Environmental Protection The Florida Hydrography Dataset (FHD) is based on the retired National Hydrography Dataset (NHD) national framework for assigning reach addresses to water-related entities, such as industrial discharges, drinking water supplies, fish habitat areas, wild and scenic rivers. Reach addresses establish the locations of these entities relative to one another within the FHD surface water drainage network, much like addresses on streets. Once linked to the FHD by their reach addresses, the upstream/downstream relationships of these water-related entities--and any associated information about them--can be analyzed using software tools ranging from spreadsheets to geographic information systems (GIS). GIS can also be used to combine FHD-based network analysis with other data layers, such as soils, land use and population, to help understand and display their respective effects upon one another. Furthermore, because the original NHD provides a nationally consistent framework for addressing and analysis, water-related information in the FHD linked to reach addresses by one organization (national, state, local) can be shared with other organizations and easily integrated into many different types of applications to the benefit of all.
