This parcels dataset is a spatial representation of tax lots for Gloucester County, New Jersey that have been extracted from the NJ statewide parcels composite by the NJ Office of Information Technology, Office of GIS (NJOGIS). Parcels at county boundaries have been modified to correspond with the NJ county boundaries and the parcels in adjacent counties.Each parcel contains a field named PAMS_PIN based on a concatenation of the county/municipality code, block number, lot number and qualification code. Using the PAMS_PIN, the dataset can be joined to the MOD-IV database table that contains supplementary attribute information regarding lot ownership and characteristics. Due to irregularities in the data development process, duplicate PAMS_PIN values exist in the parcel records. Users should avoid joining MOD-IV database table records to all parcel records with duplicate PAMS_PINs because of uncertainty regarding whether the MOD-IV records will join to the correct parcel records. There are also parcel records with unique PAMS_PIN values for which there are no corresponding records in the MOD-IV database tables. This is mostly due to the way data are organized in the MOD-IV database.The polygons delineated in the dataset do not represent legal boundaries and should not be used to provide a legal determination of land ownership. Parcels are not survey data and should not be used as such.The MOD-IV system provides for uniform preparation, maintenance, presentation and storage of property tax information required by the Constitution of the State of New Jersey, New Jersey Statutes and rules promulgated by the Director of the Division of Taxation. MOD-IV maintains and updates all assessment records and produces all statutorily required tax lists for property tax bills. This list accounts for all parcels of real property as delineated and identified on each municipality's official tax map, as well as taxable values and descriptive data for each parcel. Tax List records were received as raw data from the Taxation Team of NJOIT which collected source information from municipal tax assessors and created the statewide table. This table was subsequently processed for ease of use with NJ tax parcel spatial data and split into an individual table for each county.***NOTE*** For users who incorporate NJOGIS services into web maps and/or web applications, please sign up for the NJ Geospatial Forum discussion listserv for early notification of service changes.

These data provide an accurate high-resolution shoreline compiled from imagery of YORK RIVER, GLOUCESTER POINT TO GOFF POINT, VA . This vector shoreline data is based on an office interpretation of imagery that may be suitable as a geographic information system (GIS) data layer. This metadata describes information for both the line and point shapefiles. The NGS attribution scheme 'Coastal Cartographic Object Attribute Source Table (C-COAST)' was developed to conform the attribution of various sources of shoreline data into one attribution catalog. C-COAST is not a recognized standard, but was influenced by the International Hydrographic Organization's S-57 Object-Attribute standard so the data would be more accurately translated into S-57.

This bathymetric model of Gloucester Harbor is from NOAA Survey H11277. The data was collected between 2003-09-08 and 2003-09-17. To download this data, go to http://www.ngdc.noaa.gov/docucomp/page?url=http://surveys.ngdc.noaa.gov/mgg/NOS/hsmdb/H10001-H12000/H11277_hsmdb.xml&view=hydro/survey&header=none.This tileset is to support the Peer Beneath the Waves Storymap on the NOAA GeoPlatform.

The Communities at Sea maps use Vessel Trip Report location point data as input to create density polygons representing visitation frequency ("fisherdays"). The data show total labor including crew time and the time spent in transit to and from fishing locations. They do not show other variables such as vessel value or number of pounds landed. The results can be interpreted as maps of "community presence." This layer shows data for the seine fishing gear group for Gloucester, MA from 2011-2015.

Abstract

The dataset was derived by the Bioregional Assessment Programme from multiple source datasets. The source datasets are identified in the Lineage field in this metadata statement. The processes undertaken to produce this derived dataset are described in the History field in this metadata statement.

This Gloucester dataset contains v8.2 of the Asset database (GLO_asset_database_20160212.mdb), a Geodatabase version for GIS mapping purposes (GLO_asset_database_20160212_GISOnly.gdb), the draft Water Dependent Asset Register spreadsheet (BA-NSB-GLO-130-WaterDependentAssetRegister-AssetList-v20160212.xlsx), a data dictionary (GLO_asset_database_doc_20160212.doc), a folder (Indigenous_doc) containing documentation associated with Indigenous water asset project, a folder (NRM_DOC) and a folder (NRM_DOC) containing documentation associated with the Water Asset Information Tool (WAIT) process as outlined below.

The Gloucester Asset database v8.2 supersedes the previous version of the GLO Asset database in asset relevant tables/ feature class only (i.e. AssetDecisions, AssetList, Element_to_Asset, ElementList, tbl_Indigenous_water_asset, tbl_GAL_Species_TEC_decisions_review_23112015 in GLO_asset_database_20160212.mdb and GM_GLO_AssetList_pt, GM_GLO_ElementList_pt in GLO_asset_database_20160212_GISOnly.gdb). This version of GLO asset database has been updated to:

(1) Total number of registered water assets was increased by 18 due to:

(a) The 3 assets changed M2 test to "Yes" from the review done by Ecologist group.

(b) 15 indigenous water assets from OWS were added.

The Asset database is registered to the BA repository as an ESRI personal goedatabase (.mdb - doubling as a MS Access database) that can store, query, and manage non-spatial data while the spatial data is in a separated file geodatabase joined by AID/Element ID/BARID. Under the BA program, a spatial assets database is developed for each defined bioregional assessment project. The spatial elements that underpin the identification of water dependent assets are identified in the first instance by regional NRM organisations (via the WAIT tool) and supplemented with additional elements from national and state/territory government datasets. All reports received associated with the WAIT process for Gloucester are included in the zip file as part of this dataset. Elements are initially included in the preliminary assets database if they are partly or wholly within the subregion's preliminary assessment extent (Materiality Test 1, M1). Elements are then grouped into assets which are evaluated by project teams to determine whether they meet the second Materiality Test (M2). Assets meeting both Materiality Tests comprise the water dependent asset list. Descriptions of the assets identified in the Gloucester subregion are found in the "AssetList" table of the database. In this version of the database only M1 has been assessed. Assets are the spatial features used by project teams to model scenarios under the BA program. Detailed attribution does not exist at the asset level. Asset attribution includes only the core set of BA-derived attributes reflecting the BA classification hierarchy, as described in Appendix A of "GLO_asset_database_doc_20160212.doc", located in the zip file as part of this dataset. The "Element_to_Asset" table contains the relationships and identifies the elements that were grouped to create each asset. Detailed information describing the database structure and content can be found in the document "GLO_asset_database_doc_20160212.doc" located in the zip file. The public version of this asset database can be accessed via the following dataset: Asset database for the Gloucester subregion on 12 February 2016 Public v02 (https://data.gov.au/data/dataset/5def411c-dbc4-4b75-b509-4230964ce0fa).

This is a polygon GIS data layer showing the location and extent of various sidescan, multibeam and swath bathymetry surveys conducted by the USGS, Coastal and Marine Geology Program. Outlines of individual mosaic areas were combined to create one comprehensive layer that could be used to illustrate areas surveyed by USGS/CMGP seafloor mapping programs.

This report presents high-resolution maps of the seafloor offshore of Massachusetts, from Nahant to Gloucester. Approximately 134 km² of the inner shelf were mapped with a focus on the nearshore region in water depths less than 40 m (fig. 1.1). The maps were prepared as part of a cooperative mapping program between the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) and the Massachusetts Office of Coastal Zone Management (CZM). They are based on marine geophysical data, sediment sampling, and bottom photography obtained on two research cruises carried out in 2003 and 2004. The primary objective of this program is to develop a suite of seafloor maps that provide geologic information for management of coastal and marine resources. Accurate maps of seafloor geology are important first steps toward protecting fish habitat, delineating marine reserves, and assessing environmental changes due to natural or human impacts. The maps also provide a geologic framework for scientific research, industry and the public.

The organization of this report is outlined in the navigation bar along the left-hand margin of the page. This is section 1, the introduction. Section 2 briefly describes the mapping products contained in this report and has links to large-format map sheets, that can be viewed on line or downloaded. Section 3 is a description of the data collection, processing, and analysis procedures used to create the map products. Section 4 examines the geologic framework and late Quaternary evolution of the region, and presents two different strategies for mapping the complex seafloor. This report also contains four appendices that include GIS layers of all data collected in this study, and copies of the sample and photographic data used to validate the interpretations.

This layer depicts the Chesapeake Bay Preservation Act (CBPA) areas in Hampton Roads, Virginia, categorized into three delineations: Resource Protection Areas (RPA) include both tidal and connected non-tidal wetlands, as well as tidal shores, and a landward riparian buffer of 100 feet which has the greatest potential to protect and benefit water quality. Resource Management Areas (RMA) area adjacent to the RPA and have the potential to damage water quality without proper management. Only those RMA areas that have a designated boundary are in included in this layer. Some localities define the RMA as the remaining area of the locality that is not in the RPA and therefore no separate boundary is needed.Intensely Developed Areas (IDA) must be designated in the city or county code. Not all localities have designated IDAs. An IDA overlays redevelopment areas that may otherwise be subjected to stricter enforcement of the RPA.Note that the areas provided in this layer are meant for general planning use. Use the CBPA Address Locator application to see if a property is in or near the CBPA. Consult with local CBPA staff for questions about the determination and enforcement of CBPA areas.

The U.S. Geological Survey has conducted geologic mapping to characterize the sea floor offshore of Massachusetts. The mapping was carried out using a Simrad Subsea EM 1000 Multibeam Echo Sounder on the Frederick G. Creed on four cruises conducted between 1994 and 1998. The mapping was conducted in cooperation with the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) and with support from the Canadian Hydrographic Service and the University of New Brunswick.

The long-term goal of this mapping effort is to produce high-resolution geologic maps and a Geographic Information System (GIS) project that presents images and grids of bathymetry, shaded relief bathymetry, and backscatter intensity data from these surveys that will serve the needs of research, management and the public.

This group includes the following items: 1. Hampton Roads Elevation Certificate Building Footprints: includes only building footprints where final elevation certificates are available, with elevations reported in the vertical datum provided on the elevation certificate (NGVD 29 or NAVD 88). 2. Hampton Roads Elevation Certificate Parcels: includes only parcels where final elevation certificates are available, with elevations reported in the vertical datum provided on the elevation certificate (NGVD 29 or NAVD 88). Where necessary, conversions from NGVD 1929 to NAVD 1988 were completed using the VERTCON (NOAA NGS, 2019). Elevation certificates were collected from the following 12 localities: Chesapeake, Franklin, Gloucester County, Hampton, James City County, Newport News, Norfolk, Portsmouth, Southampton County, Suffolk, Virginia Beach, and York County. Localities included in the current inventory were able to provide digital elevation certificate copies. This inventory is not complete for the region, and elevation certificates will continue to be added to the database when available. The elevation certificate database was developed by HRPDC staff with support from the Center for Geospatial, Science, Education, and Analytics at Old Dominion University (ODU). We would like to acknowledge Manuel Solano (ODU) for his contributions to the Gloucester County and City of Norfolk elevation certificate data development.Building footprints are courtesy the VGIN statewide building footprints layer and locality GIS departments. Building attributes and parcels are courtesy of the Hampton Roads Regional Parcels layer and locality GIS departments. Current flood zones are courtesy of the FEMA National Flood Hazard Layer, with base flood elevations reported in NAVD 1988 where available.

Abstract

The dataset was derived by the Bioregional Assessment Programme from multiple source datasets. The source datasets are identified in the Lineage field in this metadata statement. The processes undertaken to produce this derived dataset are described in the History field in this metadata statement.This dataset includes subcatchments relevant to the Gloucester subregion. Subcatchments are connected to inflows or outflows to and from the Gloucester subregion.

Extracted from the geofabric catchments:

The Geofabric Surface Cartography product provides a set of related feature classes to be used as the basis for the production of consistent hydrological cartographic maps. This product contains a geometric representation of the (major) surface water features of Australia (excluding external territories). Primarily, these are natural surface hydrology features but the product also contains some man-made features (notably reservoirs, canals and other hydrographic features).

The product is fully topologically correct which means that all the stream segments flow in the correct direction.

This product contains fifteen feature types including: Waterbody, Mapped Stream, Mapped Node, Mapped Connectivity (Upstream), Mapped Connectivity (Downstream), Sea, Estuary, Dam, Structure, Canal Line, Water Pipeline, Terrain Break Line, Hydro Point, Hydro Line and Hydro Area.

Purpose

Used for surface water modelling

This product contains a geometric representation of the (major) surface water features of 'geographic Australia' excluding external territories. It is intended to be used as the basis for the production of consistent hydrological cartographic map products, as well as the visualisation of surface hydrology within a GIS to support the selection of features for inclusion in cartographic map production.

Dataset History

These subcatchments were aggregated using the AHGF (Geofabric) catchments

AHGFContractedCatchments were aggregated into the GLO subcatchments based on their contribution to selected rivers as depicted in the GEODATA 250K. The reference river network is from Watercourse lines.

Geofabric Surface Cartography is part of a suite of Geofabric products produced by the Australian Bureau of Meteorology. The source data input for the Geofabric Surface Cartography product is the AusHydro v1.7.2 (AusHydro) surface hydrology data set. The AusHydro database provides a seamless surface hydrology layer for Australia at a nominal scale of 1:250,000. It consists of lines, points and polygons representing natural and man-made features such as watercourses, lakes, dams and other water bodies. The natural watercourse layer consists of a linear network with a consistent topology of links and nodes that provide directional flow paths through the network for hydrological analysis.

This network was used to produce the GEODATA 9 Second Digital Elevation Model (DEM-9S) Version 3 of Australia

Geofabric Surface Cartography is an amalgamation of two primary datasets. The first is the hydrographic component of the GEODATA TOPO 250K Series 3 (GEODATA 3) product released by Geoscience Australia (GA) in 2006. The GEODATA 3 dataset contains the following hydrographic features: canal lines, locks, rapid lines, spillways, waterfall points, bores, canal areas, flats, lakes, pondage areas, rapid areas, reservoirs, springs, watercourse areas, waterholes, water points, marine hazard areas, marine hazard points and foreshore flats.

It also provides information on naming, hierarchy and perenniality. The dataset also contains cultural and transport features that may intersect with hydrographic features. These include: railway tunnels, rail crossings, railway bridges, road tunnels, road bridges, road crossings, water pipelines.
