A Basin Management Action Plan (BMAP) is a water quality restoration plan prepared pursuant to Section 403.067(7) Florida Statutes. BMAPs are designed to reduce pollutant loadings to achieve the limitations identified in an adopted Total Maximum Daily Load (TMDL) through a comprehensive set of management strategies - permit limits on wastewater facilities, urban and agricultural best management practices, conservation programs, etc. These broad-based plans are developed with local stakeholders - they rely on local input and local commitment - and are adopted by Secretarial Order and are enforceable.
This feature class contains lands that make up the State Parks and State Trails in Florida as of May 5th. 2022
Watersheds are the next level of drainage areas larger than Subwatersheds. They represent the USGS 10 Digit Hydrologic Unit Code (HUC) drainage areas. Watershed boundaries were updated by incorporating SFWMD subject matter experts advice and newer data from business units when available. The HUC code from USGS is not populated for AHED Watersheds because there is not a one to one correspondence between the two datasets. In AHED, topology rules are enforced among the features of Basin, Subbasin, Watershed, SubWatershed and Rainarea feature classes.
The Waterbody feature class was populated from the USGS NHDinGeo 24K dataset. Primary Waterbody features (CanalSegments) have been edited to correct their geometries using the latest county aerial imagery. Boundaries for other waterbody subtypes such as marsh and lake boundaries are edited when needed. Waterbodies are split into two separate features where structures are located. Waterbody has a Subtype that includes the following types: Lake, Lagoon/Bay, Canal Segment, Stream/River, Marsh and Estuary.
Line coverage of major rivers in Florida
This is a statewide polygon layer in which each polygon has a unique Water Body Identification number (WBID). The assessment units are drainage basins, lakes, lake drainage areas, springs, rivers and streams, segments of rivers and streams, coastal, bay and estuarine waters in Florida. The polygons roughly delineate the drainage basins surrounding the water body assessment units. The WBIDs are used in the Basin Rotation Total Maximum Daily Load (TMDL) program as well as other applications. WBIDs are assigned a FDEP district as part of their attribution. There are multiple instances where a WBID may be assigned to an FDEP district, but physically fall within the boundary of a different district. This is because WBIDs are grouped together into basins called Planning Units and there are instances where a Planning Unit basin will fall across FDEP district boundaries. In these cases, for consistency's sake, all the WBIDs that are in the Planning Unit will be assigned to the same FDEP district. For information on which district the WBID physically falls in, please refer to the FDEP Regulatory Districts layer.
This dataset contains the best available locations of springs that have had some data collection or field activities or were included in publications by various agencies. This layer supersedes the previous FLORIDA SPRINGS (2016) layer.
This data set is a compilation of discrete boundary polygons created for individual NPS units and represents the most current data for the National Park System. The initial data set was compiled in 2002 from a variety of National Park Service (NPS) and cooperative sources as noted in this metadata. Beginning in 2004, individual park boundary polygons are being replaced with more precise and accurate administrative boundaries developed by the NPS Land Resources Division as they become available.
This dataset (2012-2020) is a compilation of the Land Use/Land Cover datasets created by the 5 Water Management Districts in Florida based on imagery -- North West Florida Water Management District (NWFWMD) 2019, Suwannee River Water Management District (SRWMD) 2019-2020, St. John's River Water Management District (SJRWMD) 2013-2016, 2013 (Dec 2012 – Mar 2013) - Duval, Bradford, 2014 (Dec 2013 – Mar 2014) - Alachua, Baker, Clay, Flagler, Lake, Marion, Nassau, Osceola, Polk, Putnam, St. John’s, 2015 (Dec 2014 – Mar 2015) - Brevard, Indian River, Okeechobee, Seminole, Volusia, 2016 (Dec 2015 – Mar 2016) - Orange, South West Florida Water Management District (SWFWMD) 2020 and South Florida Water Management District (SFWMD) 2017-2019. Codes are derived from the Florida Land Use, Cover, and Forms Classification System (FLUCCS-DOT 1999) but may have been altered to accommodate region differences.
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 Resilience and Coastal Protection. 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.
The NFHAP Coastal Spatial Framework and Indicator Datasets consist of a geospatial base layer developed in ArcGIS, and associated data fields joined to the spatial framework. The Coastal Spatial Framework is a layer of 612 distinct polygons covering coastal areas of the Continental U.S. Polygons represent either coastal watersheds (land) or coastal waters (estuaries, inshore marine, offshore marine),and are classified into six regions and 22 nested subregions. Each polygon is assigned a unique code (UniqueID) to provide location reference for indicator data, and enable joins to separate data tables.s for information recorded in the Bibliography and Assessment tables. Key indicator data fields attributed to each estuarine polygon include scores for eutrophication, pollutants and contaminants, coastal watershed land use changes, and freshwater inflow and hydrologic alteration over time. In addition, a composite score is calculated as the geometric mean of the four indicator scores.
This GIS data set represents coral and hardbottom habitats off Broward, Miami-Dade and Palm Beach Counties Florida. These data are the results of an integrated mapping project undertaken to provide a habitat map of the shallow Broward County seafloor between the 0m and 35m contour. All data were mapped in ArcGIS9 and polygons were drawn at a scale of 1:6000 with a one acre minimum mapping unit. The entire area mapped was roughly 110 square-kilometers. For the production of these polygons, high resolution LADS bathymetry was used to map reef geomorphology, acoustic data (QTC and Echoplus) were used to aid in defining the geomorphologic features into habitat types, and a waterproof drop video camera from a boat was used as groundtruthing to confirm substrate type. The shallow inshore seafloor from the 0m to -6m contour was mapped using a combination of assimilated data types including aerial photography and high-resolution bathymetry and the deeper seafloor habitats, from the -6m to the -35m contour, were mapped using mostly high-resolution bathymetry and acoustic ground discrimination. The result produced a seamless GIS benthic habitat classification of the entire nearshore reef system in Broward County. Refer to the final project report: Development of GIS Maps for Southeast Florida Coral Reefs, for a complete description of the classification.
