FLORIDA GEOGRAPHIC DATA LIBRARY DOCUMENTATION

TITLE: CLIP Version 4 - Florida Ecologicial Greenways Network Priorities adopted by Flordia Greenways and Trails Council 

Geodataset Name:       CLIPV4_FEGN
Geodataset Type:       RASTER
Geodataset Feature:    30-METER CELL
Feature Count:         6
GENERAL DESCRIPTION:
Either part of a large landscape-scale hub , or an ecological corridor connecting two or more hubs. Hubs indicate core landscapes that are large enough to maintain populations of wide-ranging or fragmentation-sensitive species including black bear or panther and areas that are more likely to support functional ecosystem services. Highest priorities indicate the most significant hubs and corridors in relation to completing a functionally connected statewide ecological network, but all priority levels have conservation value. This data layer was created by the University of Florida Center for Landscape Conservation Planning to provide an ecological component to the Statewide Greenways System plan developed by the Dept. of Environmental Protection, Office of Greenways and Trails. It is intended to represent a statewide network of ecological hubs and linkages designed to maintain landscape-scale ecological functions and fragmentation sensitive biodiversity throughout the state.

This layer was created as part of the Florida Ecological Greenways Network GIS 
Database. The Florida Ecological Greenways Network (FEGN) identifies the 
opportunities to protect large, intact landscapes important for conserving Florida s 
biodiversity and ecosystem services, and serves as a backbone for biodiversity and 
ecosystem protection efforts in Florida. An important goal of the FEGN is to protect a 
functionally connected network of public and private conservation lands from the tip 
of south Florida to the tip of the Florida panhandle while also potentially providing 
functional connectivity to conservation lands in Georgia and Alabama.

Mapped corridors represent opportunity areas within which a linkage could be 
maintained; not all of the area identified in a corridor is necessarily required in order 
to protect a functional linkage. There are specific wildlife corridor design criteria that 
should be consulted during the process of designing functional corridors to facilitate 
protection of habitat, wildlife movement, and ecosystem services. Not all local and 
regional (multi-county) potential corridors are identified, as this model has a 
statewide to regional focus. Local identification of potentially important 
ecological/wildlife corridors should also include identification of local and regional 
riparian (stream) networks, contiguous swaths of natural and semi-natural land 
between existing conservation lands, or other known wildlife corridors that may not 
all be included within the FEGN.














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:
