Description:
Abstract:
The North Carolina Department of Environment, Health, and Natural
Resources, Division of Marine Fisheries, in cooperation with the
NC Center for Geographic Information and Analysis, developed the
GIS Data set, Fisheries Nursery Areas, to describe areas where
the initial post-larval and juvenile development of young finfish
and crustaceans in North Carolina occurs.  The file enables the
user to identify these protected areas.
Purpose:
This data was created: to assist governmental agencies and
others in making resource management decisions, to help protect
the areas designated as Fisheries Nursery Areas, and for use in
a Geographic Information System (GIS).

>Revisions and updates to this layer include:
>3.) filename: fna1298  The December 1998 update to this layer
>consisted of projecting the data from NAD27 datum, State Plane
>projection, units of measure feet TO: NAD83 DATUM, State Plane
>PROJECTION, UNITS OF MEASURE METERS.  This was done to comply
>with the NC Geographic Information Coordinating Council's
>"Statement of Direction for North Carolina Corporate Geographic
>Database Horizontal Reference, Datum and Unit of Measure".
>This reprojecting was done in various ways depending on the data
>type and content.  Vector data was projected using the 'project'
>command in ESRI's Arc software and topology was cleaned and
>built based on coverage needs.  Raster data was projected using
>ESRI's Grid module and various steps as applicable.
>2.) filename: fna396  The March 13, 1996 revision involved
>the joining of look up tables to the polygon attribute table
>(.PAT).  These tables were originally created for this
>data layer in 1989.  The relate items needed for the linking
>relationship were dropped out of the .PAT.  The item named
>SEQ# had no purpose for this datalayer and was also dropped.
>There were no changes made in content to the data.
>1.) filename: fna792  The July 1992 update consisted of
>mapjoining the individual 24 k quads into one continuous coverage.
>This version maintained the 5 associated relate tables.

Data_Quality_Information:
Attribute_Accuracy:
Attribute_Accuracy_Report:
The NC DEHNR-DMF delineated the boundaries on 24k USGS paper topographic
maps. NCCGIA digitized these boundaries and attributed them with DMF
codes.  All relate tables have been added to the feature attribute
tables.  The digital files were plotted and overlayed to the originals
and label corrections were made.  This digital file is updated
irregularly.
Logical_Consistency_Report:
Using ESRI's ARC/INFO GIS software, the
dataset was built for arc and polygon topology using the "build" command.
The data set was then cleaned with a fuzzy tolerance of 1 foot.  Topology
has not been edited since the last build or clean.
Completeness_Report:
These data represent the locations of primary, secondary, and special
secondary nursery areas, where the initial post-larval and juvenile
development of young finfish and crustaceans occurs, as determined
by the Division of Marine Fisheries. Each nursery area is labeled as
primary, secondary, and special secondary.
Positional_Accuracy:
Horizontal_Positional_Accuracy:
Horizontal_Positional_Accuracy_Report:
Fisheries nursery area boundaries were marked on 7.5 Minute
USGS paper topographic maps which meet National Map Accuracy
Standards, using a best estimate with reference to surrounding
features.  Boundaries drawn were digitized and check plots used
to ensure correct boundary location within a line width.

Process_Description:
CGIA provided clear poly film overlays to NC DEHNR-Division of
Marine Fisheries for mapping of the nursery areas.  The overlays
were taped to USGS 1:24,000-scale topo maps and registration marks
were transferred.  Next, using the given shoreline information of
the topo maps, the nursery area polygons  and their identification
numbers were drawn. The overlays were passed onto CGIA for automation.

CGIA received the overlays and digitized the nursery areas
as depicted.  The polygons were labeled according to the
identification numbers given, and additional attribute
information given by NC DMF was entered into the .PAT.
The individual coverages were joined together to form
one statewide coverage. Relate tables were joined to the
feature attribute tables.

Overview_Description:
Entity_and_Attribute_Overview:
A polygon coverage depicting boundaries of primary,
secondary, and special secondary nursery areas.
The polygon attributetable (PAT) has attribute data including
total area in coverage units (square meters), total perimeter
(linear meters), polygon internal identification number, polygon
user identification number, name of the 1:24,000-scale topographic
quadrangle, a DMF regulation number, a nursery area id number,the
county name, a code for the body of water in which the nursery
area is found, the water body name, a DMF district location,
and a nursery area type.  A deductive estimate was used to
determine the attribute accuracy value.
