The coverage is the historical extent of seagrass beds in Tampa Bay. Vector coverage was rasterized using ELAS software. The project was completed by US Fish and Wildlife Service and FWC/FMRI during the mid 1980's.

These data provide an accurate high-resolution shoreline compiled from imagery of PORT OF TAMPA, FL . 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 digital elevation model (DEM) is a part of a series of DEMs produced for the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration Coastal Services Center's Sea Level Rise and Coastal Flooding Impacts Viewer. The DEMs created for this project were developed using the NOAA National Weather Service's Weather Forecast Office (WFO) boundaries. Because the WFO boundaries can cover large areas, the WFO DEM was divided into smaller DEMs to ensure more manageable file sizes. The Tampa (FL) WFO DEM was split into two smaller DEMs. They are divided along county lines and are: 1. Tampa (FL) WFO - Citrus, Hernando, Pasco, Pinellas, and Hillsborough Counties 2. Tampa (FL) WFO - Manatee, Sarasota, Charlotte, and Lee CountiesThis is Tampa Bay file 1 of 2. This metadata record describes the DEM for Tampa (FL) WFO - Citrus, Hernando, Pasco, Pinellas, and Hillsborough Counties. The DEM includes the best available lidar data known to exist at the time of DEM creation for the coastal areas of Citrus, Hernando, Pasco, Pinellas, and Hillsborough counties, that met project specifications.The DEM is derived from LiDAR datasets collected for the Florida Department of Emergency Management (FDEM) and the Southwest Florida Water Management District (SWFWMD). The FDEM LiDAR data for Manatee, Sarasota, Charlotte and Lee Counties was collected in 2007 and 2008. Small portions of Manatee and Charlotte Counties were collected in 2005. Hydrographic breaklines used in the creation of the DEM were obtained from FDEM and SWFWMD. In some cases, the National Wetlands Inventory and National Hydrography Dataset were used to supplement breaklines from FDEM and SWFWMD. The DEMs are hydro flattened such that water elevations are less than or equal to 0 meters.The DEM is referenced vertically to the North American Vertical Datum of 1988 (NAVD88) with vertical units of meters and horizontally to the North American Datum of 1983 (NAD83). The resolution of the DEM is approximately 5 meters.The NOAA Coastal Services Center has developed high-resolution digital elevation models (DEMs) for use in the Center's Sea Level Rise And Coastal Flooding Impacts internet mapping application. These DEMs serve as source datasets used to derive data to visualize the impacts of inundation resulting from sea level rise along the coastal United States and its territories.The dataset is provided "as is," without warranty to its performance, merchantable state, or fitness for any particular purpose.

In 1995, the Tampa Bay Estuary Program adopted a goal of restoring seagrass areal coverage to 1950s levels after decades of decline. Reaching this goal required collaboration from public and private sectors, and the implementation of over 450 projects (e.g., wastewater upgrades, stormwater improvements, habitat restoration, education, and many others) at an estimated cost of $649 M. Nutrient loading has been cut in half, water clarity is now similar to 1950s levels, and in 2016, 16,857 ha of seagrasses were reported baywide – about 1,480 ha above the original restoration goal. Ongoing monitoring and assessments continue to describe both the total extent and composition of Tampa Bay seagrass beds which guide current management efforts. In addition, ancillary benefits of Tampa Bay’s seagrass resource recovery have started to emerge that will provide additional support and guidance for future management and recovery efforts.

The spatial datasets within this archive support the Tampa Bay Estuary Program (TBEP) funded Alafia River Historically Mined Lands Watershed Restoration Plan (TBEP Tech Report #08-25, https://drive.google.com/file/d/1dcwlIrubfy43lja8Ovou6P2YOM1cVRV7/view). The purpose of this project was to develop a basin-wide assessment and comprehensive restoration plan to address the enhancement and restoration potential of historically mined lands in the Alafia River watershed. The identified objectives to meet that purpose include: • Creating and facilitating a stakeholder forum (Working Group) that coordinates technical expertise, partnerships and financial resources to address restoration needs in the Alafia River watershed. • Building on recent work by Tampa Bay Water and TBEP to identify and address Alafia River watershed hydrologic, water quality, and habitat needs. • Assessing restoration potential, approaches, and benefits for water quality improvement, flows, and habitat creation/enhancement on historically mined lands. • Developing a plan for restoration of publicly owned historically mined land areas in the Alafia River watershed. This dataset includes all relevant shapefiles and raster files used during the project including information on the extent of historically mined lands and reclamation areas, native habitats and stream channels, soil conditions, hydrology, and restoration and conservation opportunities.

For the full FGDC metadata record, please click here. These data have been created to represent General/Suggested Oil Spill Protective Booming Strategies designed to protect areas that are environmentally and economically sensitive to oil and hazardous material spills (Oil Spill Sensitive Areas). These data were originally created and assembled by the NOAA Scientific Support Coordinator for US Coast Guard District Seven in circa 1992-1993 in cooperation with local Area Committees in accordance with regulations set forth by the National Response Plan of the Oil Pollution Act of 1990. They were provided to FWC-FWRI (Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission - Fish and Wildlife Research Institute, (at that time known as the Florida Marine Research Institute) in the fall of 2003 as paper maps and PDF maps for each of the US Coast Guard's Marine Safety Office (MSO) Areas of Responsibility (Captain of the Port Zones for Miami (at that time consisting of both what are now known as Sector Miami and Sector Key West), Tampa (now Sector Saint Petersburg), Jacksonville, Savannah, Charleston, and San Juan (Puerto Rico/US Virgin Islands)). In 1999-2000, FWC-FWRI began the process of digitizing the boom strategies depicted on these paper and PDF maps into arc (line) shapefiles, beginning with the maps from MSO Tampa, followed by MSO Miami, then MSO Jacksonville. In the Winter & Spring of 2003-2004 FWC-FWRI mapjoined these data to expand and improve upon the database so it could be used as a core business data layer for the Marine Resources Geographic Information System (MRGIS) library. Using various spatial coding functions, such as "calculate length" and "build geometry", additional attribute information has been added to the spatial database to generate length in feet and meters for summary and reporting purposes. An example of where this can be useful is when performing a spatial selection a summary of the total length of boom can be easily generated. These data are maintained as a part of the MRGIS Library and used with automated map production software to create new printed Geographic Response Plan maps for spill contingency planning and response purposes. Through the years of 2008-2009, FWC-FWRI partnered with the US Coast Guard and Florida Department of Environmental Protection - Bureau of Emergency Response to conduct a series of workshops to review and update these detailed Geographic Response Plan (GRP) data and maps for revised Digital Area Contingency Plans. The GRP revision workshop attendees were from or determined by the specific Area Committee of each Sector. The process of data entry and maintenance is ongoing at FWRI as of July 2011. Data will be entered and undergo quality assurance/quality control processes before new maps are re-produced for distribution and inclusion into Digital Area Contingency Plans and other GIS and/or map products. A versioned geodatabase has been created in SQL/SDE to track changes and manage data entry as well as digital QA/QC processes, such as consistency checks. A map service has also been created that is available to all the public and stakeholder community to view the latest version of this geodata. The map service displays data directly from the Enterprise versioned database.

The spatial data is used to produce response maps and in a GIS (The Florida Marine Spill Analysis System and Digital Area Contingency Plans) to provide timely, accurate, and valuable information to oil spill responders. Maps are produced (as PDF) with the sensitive area sites and protective boom strategies depicted on them. The maps are then "hyperlinked" in PDF to the sensitive area detail data sheets that contain the attribute data for the site in a data report form. The report form contains information on key stakeholders for the area, wildlife resources to be protected, nearby staging areas, recommended protection strategies (a verbal description of the booming strategy depicted on the map), the latitude/longitude of the site, and other response related information needed by first responders. The Booming Strategies have been developed by professional oil spill responders who have participated in the Geographic Response Plan Revision Workshops described. Please see process steps for more information about the history of the GRP revision workshops. NOTE: Booming Strategies were not done at the Sector Mobile (USCG District 7) GRP Workshop. These have been compiled from approved booming strategies related to the Deepwater Horizon oil spill response and are NOT YET approved as "Official Area Contingency Plan" booming strategies.

The Surficial Aquifer System (SAS) depth to water table surface grid was created by subtracting the water table surface grid from the DEM.
