Unknown 		Time period for which this BIA is considered active.
BIA_name
Unknown 		Identifying name of this Biologically Important Area
BIA_size
Unknown 		Area, in square kilometers, of this BIA.
BIA_type
Unknown 		Type of Biologically Important Area, can be one of Reproductive, Feeding, Migratory Corridor, or Small and Resident Population.
BIA_ID
Unknown 		Unique identifier for each Biologically Important Area across all seven regions in US waters.
Shape
Unknown 		Feature geometry.
migr_dir
Unknown 		General description of what direction the animals are migrating, if this is a migratory corridor BIA.
region
Unknown 		The region (one of seven regional divisions in US waters that reflect Large Marine Ecosystem delineations [Sherman & Alexander, 1986]) this BIA belongs to.
