This data set contains areas designated as undeveloped coastal barriers in accordance with the Coastal Barrier Resources Act,
as amended. This boundary data set was digitized between 4/1/2007 and 4/1/2010 from the official John H. Chafee Coastal Barrier
Resources System (CBRS) maps enacted by law. This data set complies with the National Spatial Data Infrastructure (NSDI) and
other standards established by the Federal Geographic Data Committee (FGDC). The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS) endorses
this data set as having been compiled to meet forty feet horizontal accuracy at the ninety-five percent confidence level relative
to the boundaries shown on the official CBRS maps. However, these digital boundaries are only representations of the official
CBRS boundaries and are not to be considered authoritative. The FWS is not responsible for any misuse or misinterpretation
of this digital data set, including use of these boundaries to determine eligibility for federal financial assistance such
as federal flood insurance. The official CBRS maps are enacted by Congress and maintained by the FWS. Copies of the official
CBRS maps are available for viewing at the FWS national headquarters, regional and field (local) offices, and are also available
for download at http://www.fws.gov/habitatconservation/coastal_barrier.htm. For an official determination of whether or not
an area or specific property is located within the CBRS, or for any questions regarding the CBRS, please contact your local
FWS office. Contact information for FWS field offices can be found at http://www.fws.gov.
