  6. Closing the Gaps In Florida's Wildlife Habitat Conservation System

 

Florida Vegetation and Land Cover – 2003 - Individual county data can be downloaded

 

Florida Natural Area Inventory - Data Requests

 GeoPlan at University of Florida 

 The Land Boundary Information System  (LABINS)   - The Land Boundary Information System (LABINS) began in 1984 as a means for distributing survey-related data that is maintained and managed by federal and state agencies to the general surveying community.  Today LABINS is available over the Internet and has been greatly enhanced by the addition of digital images of many of the original documents that support the textual data bases.

FREAC - The Florida Resources and Environmental Analysis Center, established in 1969, is the original center within the Institute of Science and Public Affairs (ISPA) at Florida State University (FSU). FREAC professionals conduct research in the general areas of resource management and environmental analysis, as well as provide advice and technical assistance to state and local agencies. Public lands research and analysis, geographic information system development, and graphic representation of digital databases are current and long-range FREAC research interests. FREAC also trains university students in these areas through direct involvement in projects, providing real-world experiences.
