The workshop was sponsored by the Florida Department of Environmental Protection, the South Florida Water Management District, and the South Florida Ecosystem Restoration Task Force and the Wetlands Subcommittee of the Federal Geographic Data Committee. , I Introduction The Executive Summary provides an overview of the findings and recommendations of 80 senior resource managers, scientists, and data managers who attended a two-day workshop in West Palm Beach, Florida on September 22 and 23, 1994, to begin discussions about improving program communication and coordinating the development and use of spatial data information in South Florida. This report describes the format of the workshop and the discussions and recommendations developed by the work groups. Also included are proposed actions for the development, distribution, and use of spatial information in South Florida. The workshop was organized as a result of the myriad governmental programs focusing on the restoration of the South Florida ecosystem. Program identification and information exchange is a prerequisite for success- ful implementation of any restoration strategy. To initiate the information exchange process, the Florida Department of Environmental Protection (FDEP), the South Florida Water Management District, and the South Florida Ecosystem Restoration Federal Task Force (Federal Task Force) sponsored the Interagency Spatial Information Workshop. The workshop was also identified by the Federal Geographic Data Committee (FGDC) as a means of high- lighting the importance of, and requirements for, spatial data standards. This committee is responsible for establishing content standards for Federal agencies using spatial data. These standards provide a consistent approach and format for the description of data characteristics. More than one-half of the spatial programs identified in this workshop are Federal and will eventually need to comply with the FGDC requirements. The Workshop Process The workshop was designed as a series of structured work sessions through which participants could reach consensus on how to improve interagency program communication, spatial data access, and information exchange. Participants were organized into the sessions based primarily on expertise. In addition, the workshop participants reviewed information on existing spatial programs for accuracy and completeness, identified missing programs and/or potential data needs, and targeted programs with the potential for integra- tion. The workshop consisted of four facilitated sessions on Day 1 and three on Day 2. Plenary sessions were held at the beginning and end of each day.

The primary objectives were to: � identify current and planned programs and activities with respect to the collection of spatial data and information (i.e., geographically referenced features that are described by geographic positions and attributes for the South Florida ecosystem); � identify programs and activities for integration and for gaps in spatial information needed to address the defined issues and management objectives; � identify mechanisms to ensure continued and updated communications among individuals and programs regarding collection, availability, and accessibility of spatial data of the South Florida ecosystem; and � initiate planning for the integrated collection, transfer, sharing, and analysis of spatial data needed to address issues and management objectives. Summary of Workshop Components Information Survey Assessment Workshop participants were divided into four groups on Day 1 to evaluate the accuracy and completeness of the program information survey results. Participants reviewed the informa- tion survey results, identified missing programs, assessed programs for similarities, and identified perceived or observed programmatic data gaps needed for ecosystem management. A plenary session was held at the end of the day to discuss group results. Interagency Program Communication. This work session addressed the needs and mechanisms to facilitate communication between agencies (and within agencies) so that all interests (including the public) have the opportunity to know what activities and programs exist or are planned in the South Florida ecosys- tem. The focus was on programs that generate, collect, or gather spatial data and information. The session also addressed the role, authority, and commitment of the agencies to facilitating communication and devel- oping an effective baseline survey of the aforementioned programs. In addition, interagency program com- munication was considered a prerequisite to the effective exchange of data and information for technical applications and South Florida resource management. Spatial Data and Information AccesslExchange. This group focused on a series of topics related to spatial data and information access/exchange. The group identified the primary issues associated with, and recom- mendations for, addressing each topic (e.g., type of action(s) required, responsible institution(s), timing of action, etc.). Program and Spatial Data Integration and Ecosystem Management This work session focused on the integration of programs and spatial data in the South Florida ecosystem. The primary objective was to identify methods for integrating programs and spatial data that address South Florida ecosystem manage- ment objectives. A secondary objective was to develop an outline for developing a pilot or series of pilot projects that link ecosystem management objectives to programs and spatial data. 2 Interagency Spatial Information Workshop Vol. I Recommendations The workshop resulted in a number of proposed actions for the development, distribution, and use of spatial information in South Florida. They can be summarized as follows: 1) completing the workshop inventory and developing an update process; 2) integrating spatial programs where appropriate; and 3) making spatial information available for ecosystem restoration. These recommendations resulted from the workshop's consensus-building process. The workshop participants all agreed that the inventory was useful and that it still needs to incorporate many of the programs that were identified as missing. It was clear that full state, regional, and local participation is required. All current and planned academic programs and activities collecting spatial information also need to be surveyed. In addition 'this information must be updated and maintained if the communication of ongoing activities in South Florida is to be successful in the long term. The participants determined that these efforts should be sanctioned and encouraged by the Federal Task Force and the Governor's Commission. Participants also agreed that the coordination and integration of programs is essential to ecosystem restora- tion. Participants recognized that a common set of priority spatial needs, agreed to by all agencies involved in the restoration effort, needs to be established. In addition, the participants determined that an ad-hoc group under the direction of the Governor's Commission and the Federal Task Force should immediately develop a pilot project for the Taylor Slough-Florida Bay region to demonstrate the efficacy of building and synthesizing spatial information to address management issues, and make such information available via the Internet and CD-ROM. These same groups should also create and empower a work group to be responsible for coordi- nating and integrating spatial data in the entire South Florida region. The need for access to spatial information was also highlighted by the participants. The FGDC should be asked to strongly encourage all agencies using spatial data in South Florida ecosystem restoration to commit to program coordination and sharing of digital data and technologies. Workshop participants also recom- mended that the Federal Task Force mandate the use of FGDC metadata and spatial data transfer standards for each of its agencies in South Florida. A formal recommendation by the Governor's Commission of the use of these standards by state, regional, and local agencies is also essential. Finally, the need for a focal point or clearinghouse of information on spatial programs was highlighted by the work groups. Participants recom- mended that the information developed through the information surveys be made available on the Internet. For a more detailed summary of the workshop participants recommendations, see pp. 27-29. 3 Interagency Spatial Information Workshop This workshop highlighted the importance of interagency spatial information in the implementation of manage- ment strateaies affectina the South Florida ecosystem. It set the stage for long-term interagency cooperation and inform@fion exchan-ge among the programs developing or using spatial data in South Florida. About 80 representatives, primarily managers, from Federal, State, regional, and local agencies participated. The workshop focused on reaching consensus among the participants about how to improve program communica- tion, enhance data accesslexchange, and promote integrated program efforts. In addition, the workshop resulted in the development of a comprehensive summary of spatial programs and data that would be useful in the ecosystem restoration effort. The workshop represents a first step toward assembling the types of information and data exchange mechanisms that will be useful in the ecosystem restoration process. IHistory of the Project The scale and scope of the South Florida ecosystem places a high priority on spatial data information. Both the South Florida Ecosystem Restoration Federal Task Force (Federal Task Force) and the State recognize that a focal point is required for spatial information. As a result, this workshop was developed as a mecha- nism for beginning the process to establish a framework for improving knowledge about, and access to, spatial information. In addition, the Wetlands Subcommittee of the Federal Geographic Data Committee (FGDC) served an integral role in workshop planning and implementation, because of the meeting's focus on spatial data. As a result of these Federal and State concerns, an ad-hoc South Florida Spatial Information Team was established to facilitate a process to encourage multi-agency participation in the identification, cataloging, and distribution of spatial information for the South Florida ecosystem. The team is comprised of representatives of the Wetlands Subcommittee of the FGDC, Florida Department of Environmental Protection (FDEP), South Florida Water Management District, Science Subgroup of the Federal Task Force, and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA). The team's principal objectives are to: 1) catalog background information about regional programs collecting spatial information and to make this information available for use in South Florida restoration efforts; 2) enhance coordination and communication between regional and spatial programs-especially those that have overlapping responsibilities; and 3) encourage and facilitate the use of FGDC spatial data transfer standards for the spatial groups of South Florida. Private and nonprofit partners will be included in the larger effort after considerable progress has been made with the interagency programs. Because the current effort focuses to a large degree on programmatic integration, it did not seem appropriate to include private and nonprofit entities. However, academic and private efforts have much to offer the restoration effort and will be included in the process at a later date. IWorkshop Objectives The workshop intended to set the stage for long-term interagency cooperation and information exchange among the programs developing or using spatial data in South Florida. In addition, it served as a useful means of highlighting the importance of spatial data in the restoration effort. The primary objectives were to: � identify current and planned programs and activities with respect to the collection of spatial data and information (i.e., geographically referenced features that are described by geographic positions and attributes for the South Florida ecosystem); � identify programs and activities for integration and for gaps in spatial information needed to address the defined issues and management objectives; � identify mechanisms to ensure continued and updated communications among individuals and programs regarding collection, availability, and accessibility of spatial data of the South Florida ecosystem; and Interagency Spatial Information Workshop Vol. / E initiate planning for the integrated collection, transfer, sharing, and analysis of spatial data needed to address issues and management objectives. Background on South Florida Issues The project study area is the same as that used in the Federal Task Force's ecosystem restoration effort. The restoration area encompasses approximately 28,000 kM2 and is divided into nine watershed regions (Figure 1). They include: the Kissimmee River Basin; Lake Okeechobee and Okeechobee Waterway Estuaries; Loxahatchie River Region; Everglades Agricultural Area; Water Conservation Areas; Big Cypress Watershed; Everglades National Park; C-1 11 Basin, Card Sound, Biscayne Bay, and the Florida Keys; and the Lower East Coast Urban Area. The Federal Task Force has since identified a tenth region from Lake Okeechobee and Okeechobee Waterway Estuaries and the Big Cypress Watershed areas. Information in future team efforts will be organized by these 10 regions. South Florida is a heterogeneous system of wetlands, uplands, coastal areas, and marine areas, dominated by the watersheds of the Kissimmee River, Lake Okeechobee, and the Everglades. Prior to drainage, wet- lands dominated the ecosystem, covering most of central and southern Florida (Science Subgroup, 1994). The wildlife abundance of predrainage South Florida was maintained by the complex annual and long-term hydrologic patterns of the natural system, as expressed in wet-dry cycles, drying and flooding rates, surface water and water depth patterns, annual hydroperiods, flow volumes, and, at the coast, salinity and mixing patterns. Superimposed over the periodic changes were sporadic events such as storms, fires, and freezes, which helped to establish and maintain habitat heterogeneity. Wetland productivity was dependent on dy- namic storage and sheet flow, large spatial scale, and habitat heterogeneity (Science Subgroup, 1994). Human alterations in the hydrologic system beginning in the late 1800s and continuing to the present day have created water quality and water quantity problems for South Florida's natural systems, including the Everglades and the estuaries. Hydroperiods and hydropatterns, which relate to the duration, timing, and extent that wetlands are wet, have been greatly distorted. The quantity, timing, and location of freshwater flow to estuaries have been greatly modified. Excess nutrients and contaminants add to the problems experi- enced by living organisms in both the wetlands and the estuaries. The pace of deterioration seems to be increasing. Known wildlife populations are now a fraction of their original size of even 30 years ago. Florida Bay is experiencing obvious catastrophic change manifested in massive seagrass die-offs and noxious algal blooms. Even the Florida Keys reef tract is not immune to probable land-based detrimental influences. The regional human population currently exceeds 5 million and is expanding rapidly. Tourism is a major industry, much of the area's attraction being due to remaining natural areas and their living resources. Agri- culture, consisting primarily of sugarcane, winter vegetables, and citrus, form another significant industry. Most of the population of South Florida is concentrated along the lower east coast in Palm Beach, Broward, and Dade Counties. This is the most heavily urbanized area not only of South Florida, but the entire state. Southwestern Florida, however, is growing at a faster rate (Science Subgroup, 1994). This expanding human presence has dramatically changed the South Florida ecosystem. In addition to the hydrologic alterations, the changes include an increasing water demand by agricultural and urban uses, while at the same time, the water supply has actually been decreased by the conversion of land to agricultural and urban uses and by shunting to the coast of freshwater that previously was stored in wetlands, soils, and aquifers (Science Subgroup, 1994). Other changes are water quality and treatment problems, soil subsidence in the Everglades Agricultural Area, nutrient enrichment, pollution by contaminants, invasion of nonnative plants and animals, fragmentation of habitats and landscapes, loss of wetland areas and functions, altered fire regimes, and declines in reef and estuarine resources (Science Subgroup, 1994). 6 Interagency Spatial Information Workshop Vol I Figure 1 South Florida Ecosystem Subregions 11^ 7:7 1 Kissimmee River Basin 2 Lake Okeechobee/Okeechobee Waterway Estuaries 3 Loxahatchee River Region 4 Everglades Agricultural Area 5 Water Conservation Areas 6 Big Cypress Watershed 7 Everglades National Park 8 C-1 11 Basin/ Card Sound/ Biscayne Bay/ Florida Keys 9 Lower East Coast Urban Area (Metropolitan Ridge) Note These regions have been mod1fied since the workshop, a tenth region was established that comprises the Caloosahatchee River Basin and portions of Southwest Florida 7 Interagency Spatial Information Workshop VoL I The Workshop Process Pre-workshop Planning. Preparation for the workshop required the participation of several agencies at the Federal, State, and regional level. The workshop was sponsored by the FDEP, the Federal Task Force, Wetlands Subcommittee of the FGDC, and the South Florida Water Management District. In addition, the National Biological Service and NOAA provided critical assistance. A team of professionals from these organizations met on several occasions to plan the workshop and assemble materials necessary for work- shop implementation. Figure 2 outlines the workshop process. In preparation for the workshop, information about Federal, State, and local programs was generated through a survey. Contacts were identified and given a one-page information survey with questions about the content, quality, and availability of the data included in their program (Figure 3). Substantial information about spatial programs was generated from the survey and at the workshop. The survey resulted in the development of information on over 150 programs that possess spatial data for the South Florida region. A series of matrices were assembled after the initial survey was completed to enable workshop participants to review the information generated. Information was organized by agency and data group. Some of the information listed in the tables was inferred through interpretation of the information surveys. Day 1. The importance of spatial information in the management of the South Florida ecosystem was dis- cussed in the plenary session held during the morning of the first day. The objective of the session was to discuss the major ecosystem management efforts in South Florida and how spatial data are linked to these efforts. Summary information about Federal and State efforts related to ecosystem restoration were dis- cussed. In addition, information about Federal and State data infrastructures were also summarized. In the afternoon, workshop participants were divided into four groups organized by data themes (abiotic, biotic, human activities, and water quality) to assess survey results. Participants reviewed the information survey results, identified missing programs, assessed programs for similarities, and identified perceived or observed programmatic data gaps needed for ecosystem management. A plenary session was held at the end of the day to discuss group results. Day 2. The second day was organized into work groups in the morning and a group plenary session in the afternoon. Workshop participants were divided into three groups: 1) interagency program communication; 2) spatial data and information access/exchange; and 3) program and spatial data integration and ecosystem management. Each group focused on a series of predetermined topics using a structured process. Findings were presented and discussed during the afternoon plenary session. The interagency program communication group focused on identifying the needs and mechanisms to facilitate communication between agencies. The group identified several issues or impediments to program communi- cation. Strategies were developed to address each issue or impediment. These strategies described infor- mation prerequisites; required program commitments; incentives; interim, short-term, and long-term solutions; technologies; and funding requirements necessary for overcoming these issues or impediments. The spatial data and information access/exchange group focused on several topics including: 1) identifying priority data gathering needs to support management of the South Florida ecosystem; 2) evaluating and implementing the ongoing development of standards for data accuracy and quality assurance; 3) identifying public access and sharing needs to improve dissemination of data; 4) evaluating interagency organizational needs in terms of GIS access requirements, training needs, and support structure; and 5) identifying data and product needs. The program and data integration group focused on a series of topics that addressed spatial data integration and ecosystem management. The group focused initially on identifying management issues that impede the integration of programs and spatial data. The group also identified several pilot projects that could be under- taken to link ecosystem management objectives to a spatial data program. 8 ~0 ~0qF~i~qoure 2 The Workshop Process for a Successful Information Survey Assessment nd Goals - Review information Ab~iot~ic expectations surveys for accuracy and d National Spatial completeness Data ~Inf astructure Summary and review of the information sheet ~- Identify missing programs ~� Florida Spatial Data and information Infrastructure ~- Work group instructions ~- Determine program ~� South Florida Restoration - Work group assignments similarities Goals, Management Structure, and Information ~- Identify Needs perceived/observed programmatic gaps in ~� Florida Bay Ecosystem data needed for Management Area ecosystem management, � SFWMD Office of Ecosystem restoration, etc Restoration 8 00 to 10 00 10 30 to 11 45 ~1 1 00 to 3 45 Day 1 - Thursday September 22, 1994 1 Results and 2 Work Group Work Group A Interagency Program Communication Topic A ~� or roup A Interagency Pro ram Communication Work Group ~qB Spatial Topic B � Work Group B Spatial Data and Data and Information Information Access/Exchange Access/Exchange Topic C � Work Group C Program and Spatial Data Integration and Work Group C Program Topic n Ecosystem Management and Spat~ia Data Integration and Ecosystem Management ~2q7struct~io ~6qW Overv~, In ns essful D~qi ew ~struct~'~o~n~s for a Su~c~' ~qO~q"r~v ~qW ~ W ~p ~ ~0 Purpose and Goa ~s ~P~'rp ~s ~o~n C t~q7 Workshop expectat~6q7~, ~6q7~-FGDC and Na ~'~on~la~l Spatial r ~q7R~ev~ie~,~,~.~,~D Re dp ~a~y ~1 suits a Discus, D~a~y ~u Objectives ~n~8q7 ~a~' Discuss D~ay 2 Work G~iro ~0 ~'~r b~j ~'t~"e~s W rkG ~q9 8 30 to 9 00 9 00 to 12 00 Day 2- Friday September 2~q3,1994 Interagency Spatial Information Workshop Vol. I Figure 3.

It is organized into four parts: 1) information survey assessment, 2) interagency program communication; 3) spatial data and information accesslex- change; and 4) program and spatial data integration and ecosystem management. Y, @4hfoell*iibtibh,@ priv vy@ The purpose of the Day 1 working groups was to evaluate data from the information surveys and to identify missing programs or data gaps. Workshop participants were assigned to groups based on their expertise. However, some participants were assigned to groups outside of their expertise in order to achieve balance among the groups. The afternoon work-group session was conducted using a four-step process. First, the information survey results were reviewed to determine if the results were interpreted accurately. Second, programs that were not captured in the survey were identified. This step required the most time because it involved considerable discussion about identifying missing programs. Third, programs having similar or overlapping objectives were identified. Fourth, perceived or observed gaps in data needed for ecosystem restoration and management were identified. Each of the group leaders summarized the work-group results at the Day 1 afternoon plenary. Work-group Tools. Workshop participants were provided with four matrices for use in their groups. The first table (Figure 4) summarized the information collected from the information surveys and was used to evaluate the data transfer/interpretation process. The second table (Figure 5) organized programs by data group and was used primarily to identify missing programs, although it was also useful for evaluating data transfer and interpretation. The third table was intended for use in identifying overlapping programs or those with key similarities. The fourth table was used to identify additional data needed for management. A list of data categories was developed prior to the workshop (Table 1). They provide an organized method for summarizing spatial programs. Also, the categories provide some indication of the availability of spatial Table 1.

Data categories were arranged into four groups based on similar characteristics: 1) abiotic resources; 2) biotic resources; 3) human uses and activi- ties; and 4) water resources. Detailed definitions of each category appears in Appendix A. A summary of formation tabulated by data category appears in Appendix C. In addition, a set of data characteristics was also developed to provide additional background information about the program's information content. The objective was to characterize the focus of the information content (e.g., Does the program's data focus on freshwater or saltwater resources? Does it include status and trends type information? Does it include information on some type of contaminants?). Definitions of the data characteristics are included in Appendix A. Appendix B lists the characteristics for each of the programs surveyed. All of the tabular materials were revised after the workshop. The materials were revised primarily as a result of workshop commentary. IPart 1 - Review Information Survey Transfer Process Overall, participants agreed that the information gathered seemed to be accurate and complete. The interpre- tation of the data from the information surveys to the tabular summaries was also acceptabl e. However, the groups noticed a number of problems including the following: m The format of the information survey did not provide sufficient detail to identify program similarities. m The participants recognized that the identification of data categories and characteristics through interpre- tation of the survey was often difficult. 12 Interagency Spatial Information Workshop VoL I � Information is lacking on the scale for which the data are intended. Information explaining that the data are part of a local, regional, state or national data set is required. � Information about when the data were collected or developed is necessary. � The groups determined that several data categories were missing, unnecessary or redundant to others. For example, the Water Resources group recommended that water reuse and aquifer storage/recovery be added as two additional data categories. They also recommended the deletion of the water quantity category since it was redundant to hydrology. The Biotic Environments group recommended merging the aquatic and wetland habitats categories into one; creating a new category for birds (separating them from wildlife); and combining zooplankton and phytoplankton into one category. � The data characteristics included in Figure 4 (i.e., contaminants, abundance, distribution, status and trends, freshwater, and saltwater) were considered to be vague. The Water Resources group recom- mended that the freshwater and saltwater characteristics categories be changed to groundwater (fresh), groundwater (salt), surface water (fresh), and surface water (salt). Part 2 - Identifying Missing Programs In this step, each of the groups reviewed programs listed in each of the data categories. A number of pro- grams not captured in the initial survey were identified by participants. Information surveys were completed for some of these programs after the workshop. The Abiotic Environments group identified several programs that collect or organize abiotic data that were not captured in the inventory. This group focused on programs that relate or pertain to physical environmental features or characteristics in the South Florida ecosystem. The missing programs included: NOAA satellite data and its nautical charting program; the FIDEP's Mercury program; the Army Corps of Engineers' Coast of Florida Study and a geological project; air quality monitoring by the National Park Service in the Everglades; and marine geological research by the U.S. Geological Survey. The Biotic Environments group also identified several programs not captured in the inventory. This group focused on the biological resources of the ecosystem. The Human ActivitieslJurisdictions group identified numerous federal, state, and local programs. This group focused primarily on data categories and identified programs that were missing in each. This group identified several programs for most of the data categories. The Water Resources group identified several missing programs. This group focused on those programs that collect or organize spatial information related to the quality or distribution of water resources in the South Florida ecosystem. This group identified the Army Corps of Engineers'Coast of Florida Study and Section 404 Permits program; the C-111rraylor Slough project; and the Kissimmee River Restoration program. I Part 3 - Identifying Program Similarities Three of the four groups determined that too much sorting would be required to adequately carry out this step. A general recommendation was that simple lists of programs by characteristics or geography would be helpful. However, the Abiotic Environments reviewed the programs listed in each of the data categories and identified those that might have overlapping or similar activities. Per the workshop commentary recommendations, Appendix D lists programs that were identified for each of the data categories. Although the programs may not overlap in terms of activities and types of data being collected or organized, the lists provide some indication of the focus of spatial programs. In addition, they identify where there is an abundance of data and where information is lacking. For example, the hydrologic and wetland habitat categories include 39 and 29 programs, respectively. This indicates that integration should occur, for a few selected programs, to make more efficient use of public resources. 13 Interagency Spatial Information Workshop Vol, Part 4 - Additional Data Needed for Management The objective of this session was to identify the types of spatial data currently not available that would be useful in the restoration process. These are spatial data that are currently not available or accessible. In addition, participants were not allowed to identify needs that would be included in any of the four work groups. Listed below are the data needs identified by the four groups. HydrologyModelfing. Better information is needed on historical hydrological data modelling efforts; better hydrological data is needed for planning purposes (i.e., planning for future water supplies). Informationon water circulation and mixing in Florida Bay is needed. An inventory of South Florida hydrological models and their associated data needs should be conducted. SolidlHazardous Waste. Better information is needed about solid waste site capacity and its relationship to projected population growth. The proximity of waste sites to wetlands should be identified. The locations of waste incinerators need to be compiled. Incinerator "impact areas" also need to located and mapped. Groundwater contamination plumes and deep well injection site information needs to be available. Also needed is spatial information about abandoned waste site locations. Offshore Activities. An inventory of oil spills in the ecosystem should be conducted. A database should be compiled on ship groundings and the locations of derelict vessels. Sites and boundaries of offshore dump (dredge spoil/other) sites need to be identified. This should include historical information on materials dumped at the sites. Information should be acquired on petroleum exploration leases, including both onshore and offshore leases. Public Facilities. Location information is needed on power lines, oil and gas pipelines, and the locations of water control facilities. Data is needed about runoff characteristics between pervious and impervious sub- stances (considered critical for land use planning). Bathymetry. Improved bathymetric resolution is required for Florida Bay. Also, nearshore bathymetric infor- mation is required in the Bay. I Summary of Day 1 Work groups The overriding theme from this session is that better consistency and compatibility between data sources is required. As a result, improved lines of communication between programs need to be established, and efforts coordinated where appropriate. In addition, participants agreed that a clearinghouse of data is required. It was noted that a data dictionary summarizing programs identified through the workshop process would be useful. Such a reference should be easily accessible; should provide standardized information about each program; and ideally would provide information from a variety of perspectives (e.g., area of coverage, data category, data completeness, etc.). 14 Interagency Spatial Information Workshop Vol. I gi@ ........ .. ...... ,Inte" ragenpri,,f, rogramCbmifib'd 16' if qj;@, -1@1@; 1@i@ i@ M This work session addressed the needs and mechanisms to facilitate communication between agencies (and within agencies) so that all interests (including the public) have the opportunity to know what activities and programs exist or are planned in the South Florida ecosystem. The focus was on programs that generate, collect, or gather spatial data and information. The session also addressed the role, authority, and commit- ment of the agencies to facilitating communication and developing an effective baseline survey of the afore- mentioned programs. In addition, interagency program communication was considered a prerequisite to the effective exchange of data and information for technical applications and South Florida resource manage- ment. Three session issues were discussed. With the impediments to program exchange in consideration, the participants were asked to develop solutions to those impediments. Impediments It was acknowledged by the work session members that interagency program communication is an important and relevant topic and that the effective exchange of program information and activities is currently inad- equate. The following were identified as impediments to accomplishing interagency program communication and adequate completion and coverage of the information surveys. � Some organizations don't make an effort to know what goes on beyond their own programs and remain single-minded in their mission. Effective interagency and external communication and exchange of information about their programs is perceived as a hindrance to their mission. � It is a bother to communicate. Communication about programs and exchange between programs is considered a burden and therefore the extra effort often does not occur, even though the need is recog- nized. � Everyone has different communication methods and they often result in redundancy, lack of effective communication, and displeasure at the resultant effort required to communicate. � Communication is perceived as negative and may impact them or their program. � Filling out the program and activity information surveys that form the baseline for effective program communication was not a priority to some of the contacts. They saw no gain. � Individual agencies, in many cases, did not coordinate the request for information survey completion. It was difficult to determine who in a given organization should receive and be responsible for appropriate handling of the requested information. � The request was not clear and did not adequately describe the benefits to potential participants. The title of the effort was misleading and implied that the focus was on data management and managers. � It was not well articulated as to what the information surveys were to be used for. It was not intuitively understood that in order to develop an integrated management approach to the large scale of the South Florida ecosystem, the scope of current activities form an important information base._ � Information surveys and requests were not sent to all pertinent agencies. I General Comments It was determined that the program information surveys were a critical element to the goal of program informa- tion exchange and they should be enhanced in coverage. Often there is a need to find information quickly and knowledge of where to look and who to contact is not readily available, even within individual agencies. There was concern that it may be difficult to keep the information current. It was observed that the information must be made easily available in a variety of media. A very important component of reaching success relative to 15 Interagency Spatial Information Workshop VoL program information exchange will be the satisfaction of contributors seeing something important for them in the process. The session participants also felt that the effort to expand and complete the program information should stay with current and planned programs. It was considered too big a task to concurrently try to initiate an effort to assess and develop information on past programs. There was some question as to how the coordinating effort initiated through program information exchange relates to the seemingly myriad competitive efforts to coordinate. Participants were asked to address, at a minimum: 1) information prerequisites, 2) individual program commitments, 3) incentives to ensure participation, 4) institutional participation, 5) interim and short- term/long-term solutions, 6) what role technologies should play, and 7) funding requirements. I Issue 1. How do we enlist full participation in providing program information? The session participants determined that the full participation of the various agencies with mandates and programs collecting spatial data and information in the South Florida ecosystem should be accomplished. Information Prerequisites The request to participate in the program exchange process must have a concise and articulate explanation of what is wanted, why a program should participate, and the expected and intended use of the informa- tion. The appropriate person to receive the program information survey should be identified. Session participants concluded that these were easy recommendations to address. Program Commitments Individual program contacts should be assigned as the responsible person to provide program information. Programs should simply commit the necessary resources to accomplish the effort. It was believed that there was no real burden on a program to participate. Agency policy should mandate participation by programs. Incentives It was felt that once the information became public and was perceived as important and useful that peer pressure to be identified with the South Florida restoration efforts would promote participation. This information would provide easy access and awareness to other programs. The information should make planning and budgeting more efficient between agencies. Developing a useful set of information products will encourage participa- tion. The participants agreed that voluntary incentives will not elicit full participation. It was felt that participation will have to be addressed through agency policy. 16 Interagency Spatial Information Workshop VoL I Institutions The primary facilitators to achieve full participation were recom- mended to include the South Florida Ecosystem Restoration Federal Task Force (Federal Task Force), the Governor's Com- mission on a Sustainable South Florida (Governor's Commis- sion), and appropriate regional planning councils. County session participants felt that counties should be approached individually, but no clear resolution on guaranteeing success was articulated. It was suggested that the League of Cities may be a facilitating body at the local level. Interim, Short-term, and For the short-term it was recommended that additional information Long-term Needs surveys were needed prior to producing the proceedings. The effort should target nonparticipating or missing agencies. It was observed that the information surveys in their current form allow a broad range for what defines a program. In some cases a program was presented as a single "project" and in others it was presented as a broad suite of "projects." It was recommended that an interim effort be made to develop a clear articulation of what criteria should define a program so that the expected update process will eventually put all programs at a comparable level. For the long-term it was recommended that a computerized database format for the information surveys be developed and provided to responders. Technologies Ultimately, the information needs to appear in an electronic database. Funding This should not be a big issue for participation. Resource needs are minimal and only require the time to complete the information surveys. Issue 2: How do we make program information available? For this issue the session members focused on making the resultant program information available to the widest and most appropriate body of users. Information Prerequisites Availability of the information needs to be announced through a wide range of media. Completed information surveys should be gathered for as many potential participants as possible. The notice of availability needs to be placed in the multitude of elec- tronic bulletin boards. A focus on South Florida partners should be the first priority. Program Commitments Support at the program level will be required. Contact person(s) must be ready to provide additional program information as interested parties learn about their programs. Data distribution will ultimately be a major issue that individual pro- grams or agencies must be prepared to handle. 17 Interagency Spatial Information Workshop Vol I Program Information Pilot Project -Available on the Internet A result of the Workshop was the development of a pilot project to make the program information available on the Internet The EPA Off ice of Information Resources Management, the FDEP Florida Marine Research Institute, and the NOAA Strategic Environmental Assessments Division collaborated to make the program information surveys available on the EPA Gulf of Mexico Program's Gulf Information Network (GIN) Instructions forAccess and Use � Access should be through a World Wide Web browser such as NCSA Mosaic@ Optimum use of Mosaic is achieved through a high-speed connection If you are unsure about this first level of access, check with your local network administrator to make sure you will have a successful connection � In Mosaic, submit the URL to hftp //www epa gov � Scroll down to the EPA home page and double-click on the Gulf of Mexico Program � You will now be in the GIN home page Scroll down to State Partners and click on the State of Florida icon � Find the South Flonda Restoration Electronic Library and click. � You will now be in the Workshop program information surveys and can click on an area on the South Florida map to list the table of contents for the pertinent programs identified for that area Click on the table of contents to read a specific information survey Remember that this is a pilot off ort The programs currently identified do not represent the breadth of programs collecting spatial data in the region Additional programs, especially academic and local, may be added at a later date The EPA Off ice of Information Resources Management has developed the World Wide Web implementation of this pilot effort The aforementioned collaborators are in the process of developing a database that is based on the assessment of the information surveys and the classification by data categories (e g, water quality) Itisexpected that query capabilities about programs in South Florida will be available in the near future Incentives Effective information exchange brings people together for cost sharing, promotes efficiency in data collection, and prevents redundancy It would be expected that a synergistic effect of communication between programs will increase beyond the mere exchange of information about individual efforts Partnerships will be built and enhanced Institutions The agency contact responsible for the program plays a key role in facilitating this process The Federal Task Force and the Governor's Commission should take a proactive role in ensuring the success of this effort Ultimately, they should promote the participation of local, academic, and nonprofit organizations Connectivity and participation by top managers is critical for the suc- cess of this process Interim, Short-term, and In the short-term, the EPA, as part of the South Florida partnership, will Long-term Needs commit to assist in the development of a pilot electronic version of the information surveys There is a long-term need to develop a lead agency or consortium that will facilitate this effort 18 Interagency Spatial Information Workshop VoL I Technologies It is important that a variety of technologies are used to make program information available. Suggestions include hard copy, floppy disc, CD- ROM, Internet, and electronic bulletin boards. Journals and other publications should be used as well. Funding In the short-term, EPA will help facilitate Internet implementa- tion. FDEP and NOAA will continue to pursue and encourage participation by additional agencies. Issue 3: How do we make this an evolving process that maintains and updates program information and distribution? A process to allow the addition of new programs must be developed. This will require a substantial network of organizations and internal organizational networks to ensure that new programs are identified and listed. Information Prerequisites The current information surveys should be date-stamped so that updating can be identified. Program Commitments Program contacts must commit to a regular schedule of updating. Generally, this is not successful and is often the source of failure of this type of exercise. Incentives See Issues 1 and 2. Institutions See Issues 1 and*2. Interim, Short-term, and A long-term commitment will be required to maintain and update this Long-term Needs information base. A lead agency or consortium of agencies will need to be established. Technologies A variety of methods to update information must be used. Initially, mailed survey forms and word-processing files can be used, but partici- pants should move toward the Internet as an update too[. It will be important to have a quality-control process for updating the information surveys Funding A short-term pilot EPA/FDEP/NOAA effort to electronically implement the program information was developed during the workshop. This effort will minimally address updating and maintenance. Long-term electronic information exchange is a major issue and needs to be addressed at the agency level in conjunction with the Federal Task Force and the Governor's Commission. 19 Interagency Spatial Infonnation Workshop VoL @,M .. ................. 77@,j 0, Failure to adequately address spatial information access and exchange will substantially impede the ability to solve the problems facing South Florida. Currently, insufficient cataloging and maintenance of data important to the region is resulting in countless duplication of efforts to identify and retrieve data. It is paramount that current and future data collections follow a protocol that facilitates data access and exchange. Effective information management, analyses, and utilization must form the foundation on which to build an ecosystem approach to South Florida ecosystem management. New tools are available that, if properly implemented, could facilitate integrated management. Based on present trends in information technology, it appears that computer networking and Geographic Information System (GIS) technologies will become the foundation for maintaining, exchanging, and processing resource management information. Networking will bring informa- tion from a variety of sources, and GIS will offer a new and powerful tool that will integrate and analyze disparate resource data and display the information in a form that is easily interpreted by managers. Careful attention must be given to the implementation of these tools, or ecosystem management in South Florida will not be successful. Topic 1: Identify priority data-gathering needs to support management of the I South Florida ecosystem. Issues Nondigital historical data provide an important source of information. Although outside the scope of the current inventory and workshop, it should not be ignored. Conversion of this data is problematic and should be addressed in the overall scope of South Florida data exchange. Positional accuracy reflects the data quality. Better accuracy leads to more confidence in the data. Data should be as accurate as possible within financial constraints. Standard positional accuracy enables different data to be used together (comparability). However, different levels of accuracy are needed for different uses (i.e., local, state, and national projects have different accuracy needs). Interagency coordination of data collection activities is needed to prevent redundant data collection and to provide multiple-purpose data. Recommendations Create a data inventory and directory. Conduct a continuing and more detailed survey of available data and information. The workshop survey is a good start. The inventory results should be cataloged in a directory in a fashion similar to a library card catalog. Establish a central repository for the directory. A decision needs to be made about whether this should be housed locally or through a Federal coordinating group such as the FGDC. Leadership is needed to establish a group to coordinate generation of the inventory. The inventory needs to be electronic so that data collectors can enter the information. An analysis of the level of information accuracy (e.g., location of a sample station within 1 ft. or 50 ft., eleva- tions at 6 in. or 5 ft.) is needed for ecosystem management in South Florida. This should include a cost- benefit analysis. Through the existing framework of the Federal Task Force and the Governor's Commission, funding opportu- nities should be explored (e.g., grants through the EPA). 20 Interagency Spatial Information Workshop VoL i Topic 2: Evaluate and implement the ongoing development of standards for data accuracy and quality assurance. Recommend additional needs specific to the South Florida ecosystem. Issues The Federal metadata standards are in place, but completing the task will be difficult. The standards are lengthy, complicated, and have not been reviewed and adopted by state and local governments. Due to the size and complexity of GIS data sets, errors are difficult to eliminate. Quality assurance/quality control (QA/QC) procedures could be enhanced through peer review and user feedback. No datum standards have been established. Data in different datums cannot be used together. Users must either convert data, or a standard must be agreed upon. There was some debate about whether a stable conversion exists. Many organizations, are mandated to use a specific datum, so standardization may be impossible. Data collected at different scales cannot be integrated well. Recommendations The group strongly agreed that metadata. is needed. The FGDC should work within the framework of the Federal Task Force and the Governor's Commission to disseminate FGDC standards to state and local agencies for review and comment as soon as possible. This should include on-site presentations to regional and local participants. It is important that all organizations generating spatial information adopt the FGDC metadata standards. As data exchange becomes a practice it is critical that a mechanism be established to provide a feedback loop for users to report errors to data sources. The metadata should include a contact person. Further discussion is needed to address procedures for distributing data updates. Topic 3: Identify public access and data-sharing needs in order to make recommendations to improve dissemination of data. Consider security, coordination mechanisms, and formatting to meet wide-ranging user needs. Within the framework of the current organizational structures, South Florida consensus groups should ad- dress common data themes. These groups should address data sources, technical specifications, collection standards, stewardship, and quality assurance procedures for specific data sets. Issues Resource allocation is an impediment to public access. Data is distributed in various formats. Although the Federal data transfer standard has been established, software vendors do not yet provide a conversion utility. Large vendors are working on this, but small soft- ware vendors may not be. There is not a consistent public access policy among the various levels of government. This hinders consis- tency in cost reimbursement. Data sets are at different levels of readiness. Sometimes there is reluctance to release data. There is no standard or policy guiding when to release data. Some data is confidential/sensitive. With open record laws, how will this be handled? Recommendations A standard exchange format is desirable. Poll South Florida participants to find out if their software vendors are providing a conversion utility for the Federal data transfer standard. 21 Interagency Spatial Information Workshop VoL I Data distribution costs should be minimized up front. Suggestions include: 1) publishing data on CD-ROM, 2) providing data on-line for retrieval, and 3) increasing access to the Internet. Metadata should provide provisional/disclaimer statements and intended use documentation. This documen- tation should be included with the data. Agencies must be able to ensure that the confidentiality of data is retained when information is shared. Further discussion is needed on how to share proprietary information in case of an emergency (e.g., Hurri- cane Andrew). Topic 4: Evaluate interagency organizational needs in terms of GIS access requirements, training needs, and support structure. Make recommendations specific to interagency eff orts needed for the use of GIS tools for the South Florida ecosystem. Issues Training is the major issue associated with this topic. Different levels of training are needed for various users. Training should include opportunities for technical exchange. Topics include general GIS concepts, use of software, and standards. Managers must be brought up to speed on the capabilities of GIS. Recommendations Pool training efforts to provide interagency joint funding opportunities. Establish a user group. Rotate hosting responsibilities to minimize impacts to workloads. Explore training opportunities in the universities to minimize costs. Minimize training needs by developing easy-to-use inter- faces. Provide multi-level training, for example: ArcView@ for data users; ARC/INFO@ for GIS technical level; and GIS concepts for upper management. Topic 5: Identify and evaluate information and data summary, synthesis, and product needs for technical analyses and integrated, multi-agency decision-making for the South Florida ecosystem. Issues This topic involves the synthesis of raw data in order to present information in a meaningful manner. This will require training on what data is in existence and how it is appropriately used. Appropriate action will require knowledge of which questions need to be asked, which questions can be answered, and how to find the answers. Recommendations An effective data and information management program should be implemented to collect, translate, and integrate technical information for South Florida ecosystem managers, technical managers, and the public. Develop a mechanism for disseminating information products as well as data. This is an important action. Develop customized information delivery systems such as ARCView and COMPAS. These are software and data systems packaged to provide information for various users such as managers, the public, or technical personnel. Include intended use clauses in metadata and provide training on what information and software are available and how to use them. 22 Interagency Spatial Information Workshop VoL I P", A- "Ih OMtibtVan, @11E D" 04 tir?, "Y' m di, 0,@ @@ & PIPSYR, 10 11@'R This work session focused on the integration of programs and spatial data in the South Florida ecosystem. The primary objective was to identify methods for integrating programs and spatial data that address the South Florida ecosystem management objectives. A secondary objective was to develop an outline for developing a pilot or series of pilots that link programs and spatial data to ecosystem management objectives. The session consisted of five topical areas. The first topic focused on identifying management impediments and issues for facilitating multiple agency integration of programs and spatial data. The second considered whether a multi-agency pilot or set of pilot projects should be undertaken that link ecosystem management objectives to programs and spatial data to address administrative, programmatic, and technical requirements. The third identified the prerequisites and requirements necessary in implementing a pilot or series of pilots. The fourth focused on determining whether a multi-agency team should be formed to explore the develop- ment of pilot project(s). Finally, the fifth topic attempted to identify which management objectives might be addressed within the pilot(s). Topic 1. What are the management impediments/issues to facilitating multiple I agency integration of programs and spatial data? There are a number of impediments to the appropriate integration of programs and spatial data. Chief among them is the lack of a common set of goals and objectives for South Florida Ecosystem restoration that would lead to a shared vision and mutual commitment among agencies. Differing agency mandates and the need to address one's own mandates first are thought to be impediments to cooperative work with others, particularly when personnel and funding are tight. Top-to-bottom commitment to funding, personnel, and equipment for interagency coordination is wanting. Agency commitments have not been translated from the highest levels of bureaucracy through supervisory levels to individuals working at the project level. Shortfalls in cooperative working relationships have resulted in duplication of effort and a narrowed vision of data usefulness. Even when agencies do want to share data, the group determined that data compatibility is a major impedi- ment to program integration. The level of detail and geographic coverage required varies by program. Levels of expertise, quality assurance, and quality control vary between agencies. Recommendations Interagency Commitment -A Shared Vision. Coordination and heightened interaction of programs between agencies need to be given higher priority. A common set of goals and objectives agreed to by all agencies involved in the South Florida Ecosystem restoration must be developed and promulgated as a shared vision. At the project level, this shared vision must be considered when developing individual project objectives. Project leaders are encouraged to consider not only the needs of their agencies, but also the objectives and priorities of the South Florida Ecosystem restoration effort. In reviewing these priorities the project leaders should consider how project data could be used by other agencies. Contact with these other agencies at an early stage of planning could benefit all groups and lead to a broader scale of understanding for meeting overall goals. Interagency goals and objectives should be outlined prior to undertaking joint activities. This may be accomplished, for example, in memoranda of understanding developed prior to project initiation. The purpose would be to identify, by individual project components, the project activities, agency responsibilities, and the timing of project components. Agency Commitment - Resources. A commitment must be clearly established by each agency. Budget- ing and personnel issues must be resolved internally before initiating joint activities with other agencies. For example, personnel and associated tools (computers, research equipment, boats, etc.) must be assigned to cooperating interagency projects. Certain agency programs in support of interagency efforts may require augmentation. Managers should consider providing dedicated personnel, particularly for data management, 23 Interagency Spatial Information Workshop Vol. and explore possibilities for leveraging personnel, funding, and equipment between cooperating agencies. Cooperation among agencies should lead to pooled resources and more effective responses to the mandates of the agencies involved. Commitments must be clear and such efforts must be established as a priority within each participating agency. Overview Organizations. Identifying areas of potential coordination and resolving issues of data compatibil- ity, scale, and QA/QC can be greatly expedited by groups tasked with oversight of the South Florida land- scape restoration. The Governor's Commission and the Federal Task Force should deal with all players at the highest levels and set priorities for the direction of the proposed South Florida Spatial Data Coordination and Integration Group working at the technical level with individual projects. Governor's Commission on Sustainable Development. The group recommended that the Governor's Com- mission be asked to identify and prioritize, jointly with the Federal Task Force, the environmental issues of concern to South Florida and the management goals and objectives related to these issues. Additionally, the Governor's Commission should provide the interagency commitment and seek the necessary commitments from the individual agencies represented. South Florida Ecosystem Restoration Task Force. The Federal Task Force should be asked to identify and prioritize, jointly with the Commission, the environmental issues of concern to South Florida and the manage- ment goals and objectives related to these issues. Additionally, the Federal Task Force should provide the interagency commitment and seek the necessary commitments from the individual agencies represented. Federal Geographic Data Committee. The FGDC should be asked to strongly encourage all agencies using spatial data in South Florida ecosystem restoration to commit to program coordination and sharing of digital data and technologies. The FGDC should facilitate the development of the National Spatial Data Infrastruc- ture (NSDI) in South Florida by working with state, regional, county, and local governments as well as the Federal agencies involved. The South Florida effort should be used to test and implement regional applica- tion of the NSDI, including development of a regional clearinghouse and the use of metadata and spatial data transfer standards. Proposed South Florida Spatial Data Coordination and Integration Group. The workshop recommended that an integration and spatial data group be established to facilitate implementation of program coordination and spatial data sharing. One of the first tasks should be to oversee the development of pilot project(s) as dis- cussed below. The group should interact with all relevant agencies at the technical level to ensure that effective coordination and integration occur. The precise organization and placement of the group within the South Florida infrastructure needs to be determined jointly by the Governor's Commission and the Federal Task Force. Topic 2. Should a multi-agency pilot or set of pilot projects be undertaken that link ecosystem management objectives to programs and spatial data in order to address administrative, programmatic, and technical requirements? The group endorsed the idea that a pilot or series of pilots should be undertaken. Pilots should emphasize near-term, manage ment-oriented, tangible results using spatial data. Pilot projects would represent an early application of an integrated, interagency approach to the solution of issues of concern to South Florida ecosystem restoration. Pilot studies will test the efficacy of cooperative support at all levels of government and bring the strengths of each agency to bear on a common set of objectives. A pilot or series of pilots will test protocols for interagency cooperation and data sharing, as well as test the applicability of one agency's data to another's needs. Pilots are desirable to move agencies toward a shared vision and to forward the restoration of the South Florida ecosystem. Testing cooperation together with data transfer and integration also facilitates development of the NSDI. 24 Interagency Spatial Information Workshop VoL Recommendations Early Pilots. Two early pilots exist. They are: 1) the National Biological Service (NBS) Florida Gap project and the NOAA Coastal Change Analysis Program, planned as a result of this workshop, and 2) the Florida Bay pilot now under way. The NBS/NOAA project is a joint effort involving land cover mapping and coastal habitat change, and is dependent on cooperation and the use of spatial data from all levels of government. Cooperation among many levels of government, division of labor, and the sharing of spatial data to achieve multiple objectives are present in these pilots. These pilots should be endorsed. Topic 3. In developing a pilot project, what prerequisites or requirements and I criteria should be used as a guide? The particular environmental problem(s) or issue(s) to be addressed must be defined along with the manage- ment objectives and goals to be achieved. Pilots should meet the goals and objectives of the Governor's Commission and the Federal Task Force. The data needs and agencies to be involved, including Federal, State, regional, county and local, must be determined prior to the pilot. Agency commitments must be ob- tained. FGDC standards must be used. Topic 4. Should a multi-agency team be formed to explore development of a pilot I or pilots? Identifying areas of potential coordination and resolving issues of data compatibility, scale, and QA/QC can be greatly expedited by the formation of a group tasked with facilitating the development of pilot projects for South Florida landscape restoration. Recommendations A multi-agency team, the Spatial Data Coordination and Integration Group (see Topic 1), should be formed, consisting of both policy-makers and technical staff. The team will determine the environmental focus as well as the data needs, agencies to be involved, and potential for success. As an aid to determining which agen- cies potentially should be involved, the team should make use of these proceedings, which provide program- matic information surveys and several synthesized tables that allow quick identification of topical areas by program. They also should seek agency commitments and facilitate the assembly of the organized set of individuals to undertake the pilot or pilots. The development of project objectives, priorities, and commit- ments should be established through a consensus-building process. Issues of working within the constraints of the Federal Advisory Committee Act (FACA) should be explored. FACA restricts the Federal Task Force's ability to consult with State or private groups, or to meet and negotiate with their representatives. Topic 5. What management objectives might be suggested for pilot consideration? Pilot or pilots should address known environmental issues and management goals for the restoration of the South Florida ecosystem. The group identified three pilot types that relate to ecosystem restoration manage- ment objectives. These include: 1) a Florida Bay pilot; 2) land cover/land use projects; and 3) hydrologic and water quality modelling (e.g., linking the South Florida Water Management District Model to the Florida Bay model). 25 Interagency Spatial Information Workshop Vol I Spatial Information Pilot Project: Steps Required for Implementation The group identified a number of steps that must occur for the development of a pilot project: 1 .Define environmental issues/problems and management goals/strategies 2. Define data needs 3. Define what already is being done (conduct inventory) 4. Define gaps and conflicting data 5 Identify programs to integrate 6 Define the lead roles in project implementation 7 Define mutual interests 8. Obtain commitments from participating agencies 9. Develop a draft work plan a identify project activities - identify responsibilities - establish schedule - determine funding 10. Obtain commitments through a memorandum of understanding 11. Implement project. 26 Proposed Actions for the Development, Distribution, and Use of Spatial Information in South Florida This section highlights several actions that would improve the development, use, and distribution of spatial information. These recommendations were developed as a result of the consensus-building approach used at the workshop. They are organized into three groups: 1) completing the inventory begun through this workshop and establishing an update mechanism; 2) integrating spatial programs where appropriate, and 3) making spatial information available for ecosystem restoration. Action Group 1: Complete Inventory of Spatial Programs and Establish an Update Process Completion of Interagency Inventory. A completed inventory of all programs and activities collecting spatial information important to South Florida restoration and sustainability, current or planned, must be accom- plished. This workshop identified only a subset of all interagency programs collecting or organizing spatial information in South Florida. The Federal Task Force should work with the workshop organizers to instruct members to participate in the effort. The Governor's Commission should also ask its representative members to assist in completing the inventory by working with the workshop organizers to identify and solicit full State, regional, and local participation. Inventory Academic Programs. The workshop did not focus on academic programs. As a result, consider- able information about private programs has not been assembled. The Governor's Commission should request that the new Florida Atlantic University, Center for Environmental Studies assist the workshop orga- nizers in an inventory of all current and planned academic programs and activities collecting spatial informa- tion important to South Florida restoration and sustainability. Program Communication. The maintenance, updating, and inclusion of new programs and activities must be facilitated if the communication of ongoing activities in South Florida is to be successful in the long-term. This will require an infrastructure and possibly a designated lead agency. The Federal Task Force should instruct its Science Subgroup and Information and Public Outreach Committee, and the Govemor's Commis- sion should instruct its Ecosystem Planning and Management Subcommittee and Science Research Priorities Advisory Committee, to develop and recommend an infrastructure for the long-term communication effort. IAction Group 2: Coordination and Integration of Spatial Programs Develop Priority Spatial Information Needs. Coordination and heightened interaction of programs between agencies needs to be given higher priority. A common set of goals and objectives agreed to by all agencies involved in the South Florida Ecosystem Restoration must be developed and promulgated as a shared vision for improved coordination. The Governor's Commission and the Federal Task Force should instruct partici- pants to begin an integration and coordination process for known priority needs of spatial inf6rmation. Implement Pilot Project in Taylor Slough-Florida Bay. An ad-hoc group under the direction of the Governor's Commission and the Federal Task Force should immediately develop a pilot project for the Taylor Slough-Florida Bay region to demonstrate the efficacy of building and synthesizing spatial information to address management issues, and make such information available via the Internet and CD-ROM. Such a pilot would represent an early application of an integrated, interagency approach to the solution of issues of concern to South Florida ecosystem restoration. The pilot will emphasize management-oriented goals and objectives, and should be capable of producing tangible results in the near-term. Federal, State, regional, county and local agencies will be involved to the extent that they have relevant data ready for transfer and integration in the near-term. 27 Interagency Spatial Information Workshop VoL I Integrate Spatial Data Programs. The Governor's Commission and Federal Task Force should create and empower a work group, the Spatial Data Coordination and Integration Group, to be responsible for coordinat- ing and integrating spatial data. Working at the technical level with individual projects, the group would facilitate the implementation of program coordination and spatial data sharing. The group should interact with all relevant agencies at the technical level to ensure that effective integration occurs. The group will deter- mine the environmental focus as well as the data needs, agencies to be involved, and potential for success. It also should seek agency commitments and facilitate the assembly of the team to undertake projects involv- ing spatial data. The development of project objectives, priorities, and commitments should be undertaken via a consensus-building process. Issues of working within the constraints of FACA should be explored. The precise organization and placement of the group within the South Florida infrastructure needs to be deter- mined jointly by the Governor's Commission and the Federal Task Force. Action Group 3: Spatial Information Access FGDC Promotion of Program Integration. The FGDC should be asked to strongly encourage all agencies using spatial data in South Florida ecosystem restoration to commit to program coordination and sharing of digital data and technologies. The FGDC should facilitate the development of the National Spatial Data Infrastructure in South Florida by working with State, regional, county and local governments as well as the Federal agencies involved. The South Florida effort should be used to test and implement regional applica- tion of the National Spatial Data Infrastructure, including the development of a regional clearinghouse and the use of metadata and data exchange standards. MandatelPromote Use of FGDC Standards. Improving information access was identified as a priority among the workshop participants. The need to accelerate the implementation of FGDC standards among Federal agencies and to promote their use among state, regional, county, and local agencies is fundamental to achieving better access to spatial information. The metadata standards establish a documentation proce- dure that assists potential users in determining their interest in a particular data set (i.e., "Do I want to access this data set?"). The FGDC also promulgates Spatial Data Transfer Standards that, when used, enable the transfer of data sets from one computer to another; frequently, data sets cannot be transferred between computers because of the different languages used. Workshop participants recommended that the Federal Task Force mandate the use of FGDC metadata and spatial data transfer standards for each of its agencies in South Florida. Although Federal agencies are required to meet these standards, it was determined that an additional mandate would provide greater incentive among Federal agencies to hasten the use of FGDC standards. Participants also recommended that the use of FGDC standards should be encouraged at the State, regional, county and local levels by the Governor's Commission. Although these standards are not a requirement, their use would complement eff orts at the Federal level and improve information access and transfer. A formal recommendation by the Governor's Commission of the use of metadata and spatial data transfer standards by state, regional, county, and local agencies operating in South Florida is required. Make Information Available via the Internet. The need for a focal point or clearinghouse of information on spatial programs was highlighted by the work groups at the workshop. Participants recognized that the information gathered through the information surveys was useful, but that more detailed information needs to be gathered for many of the programs. As a result, the workshop information surveys have been loaded onto the Internet. They are available on the EPA Gulf of Mexico Program's Gulf Information Network (GIN). The directory can be accessed using a World Wide Web browser and submitting the URL: http://www.epa.gov. The GIN home page will be found under the Gulf of Mexico Program. In addition, plans are under way to implement a joint NOAAIFDEP initiative to gather detailed metadata-type information on selected spatial programs that address management needs for ecosystem restoration in South Florida. This survey will go beyond what was gathered from the workshop information surveys. For example, information will be included about the types of data, geographic coverage, period of record, use of data, etc. 28 Interagency Spatial Information Workshop VoL The project will target a subset of the priority information needs identified by the Governor's Commission and the Federal Task Force. The project's geographic focus will be limited to one of the ecosystem subregions. This information will be stored in a relational-type database and made available via the Internet. Users will be able to query the database and produce tabular, and to a limited degree, graphic results. 29 References Interagency Working Group. 1994. Draft 1994 Interagency Working Group Report.
