Hi everyone, it's important to take an active part in the quality of
spatial data. Firstly, regarding the acreage computations in
SHOREZONE_IWWH see this note from Don Katnik:
People are sometimes confused when the acreage field does equal the
value you get from Shape.Area because they don't realize that the
acreage doesn't include the 250 ft upland zone or, for Shoreland Zoning,
forested wetland acres. It's in the attribute metadata.
From the metadata for Shorezone_Iwwh:
Attribute Label: SZ_WtlndAc
Attribute Definition: Wetland acreage based on shoreland zoning
definition (does not include forested wetlands or upland zone)
Secondly if errors are found rather than emailing them around on a
listserv, I think the better approach is to contact the data
administrator as listed in the metadata. In this case it is Don Katnik
at IF&W. 941-4455 or donald.katnik(at)maine.gov.

Can I forward this back to the geolibrary list (where everybody now
thinks the acreage field is wrong)? Or can you?

FYI see comment below regarding acreage fields of shorezone_iwwh - might
want to check that.

You need to use shorezone_iwwh, not iwwh.
The files are different.
Also, you need to troubleshoot the shorezone_iwwh before you
publish...don't just drop it into your Shoreland zoning map without
checking the acreage field, etc.
