Identification_Information: Citation: Citation_Information: Originator: Geological Survey of Alabama Publication_Date: 20121107 Title: Existing and proposed marine sand resource areas (Sand_mine_site.shp) Geospatial_Data_Presentation_Form: vector digital data Online_Linkage: none Description: Abstract: This vector polygon shapefile depicts existing and proposed marine sand resource sites in coastal Alabama. Purpose: This theme was created for coastal management purposes in partial fulfillment of a grant from the Alabama Department of Conservation and Natural Resources (ADCNR) State Lands Division, Grant #GSA-CZM-309-12-1. Funding for this project was provided by the ADCNR State Lands Division, Coastal Section (ADCNR-Coastal), in part, by a grant from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, Office of Ocean and Coastal Resource Management, Award No. 11NOS4190104.

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.
