In the US state of Florida, there are approximately 250 or so beaches open for swimming.
Using the graphic maps on this website...

...I need the data for each one extracted, *and* an accurate lat/lon researched and recorded.
Most of the data required already exists on the page, so copy/paste or a scraping script could be used.
The lat/lon however, does not exist. That will have to be accurately approximated by studying the map and using a geolocation tool (something based on google maps would be ideal) to determine the lat/lon of each beach.
You should take into account the name of the beach when researching the exact lat/lon. Often, the beach name will appear in Google maps and that will guide you to determine the proper location of the beach's lat/lon.
The data can be delivered to me as a CSV text file, XLS spreadsheet or anything like that.
Required fields for each beach are:
- Beach Name
- County Name
- Sample Point Number
- Location SPID
- Lat
- Lon
There are 34 individual counties in Florida, each accessible from that main map:

Visit the county page for each of the 34 counties, for example, this one for Nassau County:

Notice there are 11 beaches listed on this page. For each of the 11 beaches, extract the data listed and then using any other geolocation tool, determine an accurate lat/lon.
Using the first beach listed as an example, the data you would record in the CSV would look as follows:
Fort Clinch Beach, Nassau, 1, 185, 30.70007, -81.42946
Notice how the lat/lon coordinates define a point directly on the sand of the beach...

Thanks for considering my work. Looking forward to seeing your bids!
