Coastal County Divisions for Shoreline Cleanup Operations

For the full FGDC metadata record, please click here. These Coastal County Divisions are a data product produced in cooperation by The Response Group and the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission's Fish and Wildlife Research Institute - Center for Spatial Analysis to represent Operational Areas for Response to the Mississippi Canyon - 252 - Deepwater Horizon Oil Spill Incident. This data set was originally created by the Response Group (TRG), but has been subsequently edited and expanded to match with established county boundaries and include landward bay and estuary areas. Coverage has been expanded around Florida, the Florida Keys, and the Florida East Coast to the Florida/Georgia state line. This dataset will become the official Operational Areas for the Florida Peninsular Command Post. The improvements in boundary matching that has been done for Sector Mobile should also be considered in using this data set to replace the existing Operational Areas in that region also.
