Lands tracks the areas of sovereign submerged lands that have been disposed of
or encumbered by lease or easement. The limits of sovereign submerged lands can
be difficult to define.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>Generally
if a water body was originally meandered, appears to be navigable, is not man
made and is not subject to a previous disposition, legislative mandate or
court order, then lands below the ordinary high water line can
be presumed to be sovereign submerged lands.<SPAN

topography, defining the ordinary high water line and limits of
navigability can be difficult and when there is a question, only the courts can
define the line.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>Therefore, we do
not have a broad–brush GIS data set that accurately depicts all sovereign
submerged lands in the state.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes">

we have <BR>"some" of the state-owned submerged lands in Florida, but we don't

follow to the link to the BTLDS Lands Records Web Map to explore the data. I
