GSA file: bal_mob_portsall.shp Geospatial_Data_Presentation_Form: vector digital data Publication_Information: Publication_Place: Tuscaloosa, Alabama Publisher: Geological Survey of Alabama Description: Abstract: USACE: Contains physical information on commercial facilities at the principal U.S. Coastal, Great Lakes and Inland Ports (clipped by the GSA to the boundaries of Mobile and Baldwin Counties, Alabama). The data consists of listings of port area's waterfront facilities, including information on berthing, cranes, transit sheds, grain elevators, marine repair plants, fleeting areas, and docking and storage facilities. Collection of data is performed on a rotational basis to ensure on-site accuracy at each facility. Purpose: This dataset was compiled by the GIS program of the Geological Survey of Alabama in support of the "Comprehensive GIS Inventory in Coastal Alabama" as funded by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) through the Coastal Impact Assistance Program (CIAP). USACE: The Navigation Data Center had several objectives in developing the U.S. Waterway Data. These objectives support the concept of a National Spatial Data Provide public access to national waterway data. Foster interagency and intra-agency cooperation through data sharing. Provide a mechanism to integrate waterway data (U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Port/Facility and U.S. Coast Guard Accident Data, for example). Provide a basis for intermodal analysis. Assist standardization of waterway entity definitions (Ports/Facilities, Locks, etc.). Provide public access to the National Waterway Network, which can be used as a basemap to support graphical overlays and analysis with other spatial data (waterway and modal network/facility databases, for example). Provide reliable data to support future waterway and intermodal applications.

If the user has modified the data in any way they are obligated to describe the types of modifications they have performed on the hardcopy map. User specifically agrees not to misrepresent these data sets, nor to imply that changes they made were approved by Geological Survey of Alabama (GSA). The GSA should be acknowledged as the originator of the data. This data set is to be used as a primary reference source. This is public information and may be interpreted by organizations, agencies, units of government, or others based on needs; however, they are responsible for the appropriate application. Federal, State, or local regulatory bodies are not to reassign to the originators any authority for the decisions they make. Photographic or digital enlargement of these maps to scales greater than that at which they were originally delineated can cause misrepresentation of the data. If enlarged, the maps will not include the fine detail that would be appropriate for mapping at the large scale. Digital data files are periodically updated. Files are dated, and users are responsible for obtaining the latest version of the data. Boundaries of polygons extending into the water (ocean or Great Lakes) should be considered arbitrary.
