This dataset shows FWC-designated bird sanctuaries occurring throughout Florida. The boundaries of each sanctuary were digitized from a variety of sources including historical documents such as FWC establishment orders and parcel plat maps. To ensure accuracy of the digitization process for each bird sanctuary, reference datasets and documents were compiled and divided into three regions: North, East, and West. All reference data was then re-projected to NAD_1983_2011_StatePlane_Florida_East_FIPS_0901_Ft_US, NAD_1983_2011_StatePlane_Florida_West_FIPS_0902_Ft_US, or NAD_1983_2011_StatePlane_Florida_North_FIPS_0903_Ft_US, respectively. These regions and projections were chosen to match the use of US feet in the legal descriptions of each bird sanctuary and any accompanying plat/parcel surveys. After all reference data was prepared, an individual bird sanctuary dataset for each region was created in the appropriate projection. The legal descriptions establishing the bird sanctuaries varied widely in terms of detail. If specific plat books or plat maps were referenced in the legal description, staff used these documents in combination with the available countywide parcels dataset and World Street Map to digitize the sanctuaries. All three bird sanctuary datasets were then merged into one dataset, and this final statewide dataset was reprojected to NAD_1983_2011_Florida_FGDL_Albers. Please see the sources section for more information regarding the reference datasets and legal descriptions. |
