Abstract

This data set contains sensitive biological resource invertebrate data in Maine and New Hampshire. Vector polygons in this data set represent concentration and general distribution areas for bivalves, rare/threatened insects, lobster, horseshoe crab, green urchin, and northern shrimp. Species-specific abundance, seasonality, status, life history, and source information are stored in associated data tables (described below) designed to be used in conjunction with this spatial data layer. This data set is a portion of the ESI data for Maine and New Hampshire. As a whole, the ESI data characterize the marine and coastal environments and wildlife by their sensitivity to spilled oil, and include information for three main components: shoreline habitats, sensitive biological resources, and human-use resources. See also the INVERT_PT (Invertebrate Points) data layer for additional invertebrate information.

Access Constraints:

None

Use Constraints:

DO NOT USE MAPS FOR NAVIGATIONAL PURPOSES. Management boundaries are not to be considered legal boundaries. Edges may have been altered for cartographic processes. Note that the ESI database should not be used to the exclusion of other pertinent data or information held by state or federal agencies or other organizations. Likewise, information contained in the database cannot be used in place of consultations with environmental, natural resource, and cultural resource agencies, or in place of field surveys. Recognize that the information contained in the ESI database represents known concentration areas or occurrences of natural, cultural, and human-use resources, but does not necessarily represent the full distribution or range of each species or resource. This is particularly important to recognize when considering potential impacts to protected resources, such as endangered species, wetlands, etc. Besides the above warnings, there are no use constraints on these data. Acknowledgment of the originators, publishers, contributors, and sources listed would be appreciated in products derived from these data.

Abstract:

This data set contains sensitive biological resource invertebrate data in Maine and New Hampshire. Vector polygons in this data set represent concentration and general distribution areas for bivalves, rare/threatened insects, lobster, horseshoe crab, green urchin, and northern shrimp. Species-specific abundance, seasonality, status, life history, and source information are stored in associated data tables (described below) designed to be used in conjunction with this spatial data layer. This data set is a portion of the ESI data for Maine and New Hampshire. As a whole, the ESI data characterize the marine and coastal environments and wildlife by their sensitivity to spilled oil, and include information for three main components: shoreline habitats, sensitive biological resources, and human-use resources. See also the INVERT_PT (Invertebrate Points) data layer for additional invertebrate information.

Purpose:

The ESI data are intended to provide baseline environmental data for oil spill planning and response. The Clean Water Act with amendments by the Oil Pollution Act of 1990 requires response plans for immediate and effective protection of sensitive resources. The ESI data may be appropriate for many other coastal management efforts, though the original intent should be kept in mind.

Maintenance Frequency: As Needed
Maintenance Note:

Data content is considered static once published. However, if issues with the Geodatabase linkages or table contents are identified, the Geodatabase and/or the associated Map Document may be updated. Assure most current data is being used by downloading from https://response.restoration.noaa.gov/esi_download and/or comparing modification dates provided at this site.

Data Presentation Form: Map (digital)
Entity Attribute Overview:

The primary attribute tables associated with the ESI biology data are BIOFILE, SOURCES, and BREED_DT. The geographic data layer containing biological resource information (in this case, INVERT) is linked to the BIOFILE using the RARNUM field. There is a many-to-many relationship from the data layer to the BIOFILE, as an RARNUM may be repeated in several geographic features. Likewise, in the BIOFILE, the same RARNUM may appear in multiple records, representing a unique combination of species found in that region. To be represented by the same RARNUM, these species groups must also share the same seasonality, concentration, mapping qualifier, and source information. The items in the BIOFILE are ELEMENT, SUBELEMENT, NAME, GEN_SPEC, S, F, STATE, S_DATE, F_DATE, GRANK, GRANKDATE, MAPPING_QUALIFIER, CONC, JAN, FEB, MAR, APR, MAY, JUN, JUL, AUG, SEP, OCT, NOV, DEC, BREED1, BREED2, BREED3, BREED4, BREED5, RARNUM, G_SOURCE, S_SOURCE, and BREED. The G_SOURCE and S_SOURCE fields provide links to the SOURCES table, where object level source information is available. The BREED field is the link to the BREED_DT table, where searchable breed information is provided. The links to both of these tables are also many-to-many. During the collection of the ESI data, six relational data tables are used to store the attribute data. These are the BIORES, BREED, SEASONAL, SOURCES, SPECIES, and STATUS tables. When we create new ESI data, we populate these tables to maintain the integrity of the data collected. Once completed, all information populating these tables is collapsed into the BIOFILE to ease data queries and general usability of the final product.

Technical Environment

Description:

The software packages used to develop the atlas are Environmental Systems Research Institute's ArcGIS for Desktop 10.2(R) . The hardware configuration is PCs with Windows Operating System 7.

Data Quality

Accuracy:

A multi-stage error checking process is used to verify both attribute accuracy and logical consistency throughout data production. The process includes a standardized data entry methodology, data review by in-house and external resource experts, a final Quality Assurance/Quality Control (QA/QC) process, and multiple automated logical consistency checks. Quantitative data (such as densities, counts, abundances, or concentrations) provided by resource experts for inclusion in the data set may vary widely in attribute accuracy, depending upon the methodology used to collect and compile such data. For a more detailed evaluation of source data attribute accuracy, contact the sources listed in the Lineage section.

Horizontal Positional Accuracy:

Spatial components for the biological data layers can come from expert interviews, hardcopy, or digital sources. Some of the spatial components of the biological data layers may have been developed using regional experts who estimate concentration areas. It is difficult to estimate the positional accuracy of such data, except to state that they are compiled on hardcopy base maps with a scale of 1:24,000. Some of the spatial components of the biological data sets are developed from pre-existing digital or hardcopy sources and reflect the positional accuracy of these original data. Note that biological resource data by their very nature are considered "fuzzy", and this should be understood when considering the positional accuracy of vector digital objects representing these resources. See the Lineage and Process_Description sections for more information on the original source data and how these data were integrated or manipulated to create the final data set.

Completeness Report:

These data represent a synthesis of expert knowledge, available hardcopy documents, survey data, maps, and digital data on invertebrate concentration and general distribution areas. Invertebrates depicted in this data include bivalves, rare/threatened insects, lobster, horseshoe crab, green urchin, and northern shrimp. Species of commercial, recreational, ecological and/or conservation interest are emphasized. See also the INVERT_PT (Invertebrate Points) data layer for additional invertebrate information. These data do not necessarily represent all invertebrate occurrences in Maine and New Hampshire. The following species are included in this data set: I00019 ,Blue mussel, Mytilus edulis; I00025, Softshell clam, Mya arenaria; I00034, Sea scallop, Placopecten magellanicus; I00042, Northern quahog, Mercenaria mercenaria; I00043, Eastern oyster, Crassostrea virginica; I00077, Atlantic jackknife clam, Ensis directus; I00107, Squawfoot, Strophitus undulates; I00287, Atlantic surfclam, Spisula solidissima; I00503, European flat oyster, Ostrea edulis; I00543, Alewife floater, Anodonta implicate; I00544, Yellow lampmussel, Lampsilis cariosa; I00635, Brook floater, Alasmidonta varicose; I00044, Horseshoe crab, Limulus polyphemus; I00049, Blue crab, Callinectes sapidus; I00303, Atlantic rock crab, Cancer irroratus; I00305, Jonah crab, Cancer borealis; I00219, Green urchin, Strongylocentrotus droebachiensis; I00721, Rare snail, n/a; I00374, Saltmarsh tiger beetle, Cicindela marginata; I00378, Rare insect, n/a; I00529, Pale swallowtail, Papilio eurymedon; I00663, Hessel's hairstreak, Callophrys hesseli; I00667, Little bluet, Enallagma minusculum; I00670, Scarlet bluet, Enallagma pictum; I00694, Arrowhead spiketail, Cordulegaster oblique; I00711, Ringed boghaunter, Williamsonia lintneri; I00717, Zebra clubtail, Stylurus scudderi; I00045, American lobster, Homarus americanus; I00006, Northern shrimp, Pandalus borealis; I00276, Sevenspine bay shrimp, Crangon septemspinosa; I00289, Daggerblade grass shrimp, Palaemonetes pugio.

Conceptual Consistency:

A multi-stage error checking process, described in the above Attribute Accuracy Report, is used to verify both attribute accuracy and logical consistency throughout data production. This process includes multiple automated logical consistency checks that test the files for missing or duplicate data, rules for proper coding, GIS topological consistencies, and SQL SERVER(R) to ArcGIS(R) consistencies. A final review is made by the GIS manager, before the final Geodatabase and metadata are created. After the data are delivered to NOAA, they are again subjected to several consistency checks, and processed into the final delivery format.

Process Steps

Process Step 1

CC ID: 603953
Description:

Invertebrate distributions were mapped using GIS data sets provided by Maine Department of Marine Resources (MDMR), Maine Department of Inland Fisheries and Wildlife (MDIFW), and New Hampshire Department of Environmental Services (NH DES), as well as through interviews with local resource experts. All digital data obtained from NH and Maine for the Invertebrates Layer were edited as necessary to match NOAA ESI Shoreline layer included in this atlas. The MEDMR provided shellfish GIS data that included individual polygon data sets for eight species of molluscan shellfish. This data was based on locations indicated by town officials, harvesters, Harbormasters, MEDMR biologists, MEDMR specialists, MEDMR Marine Patrol officers or MEDMR scientists from February 2008 to September 2010. The MEDMR also provided GIS data for locations of Maine mussel seed conservation areas as outlined in the Maine Department of Marine Resources Rule 12.06.NH DES provided current and historic GIS data on softshell clams, oysters, blue mussels, surf clams, and razor clams. Other invertebrate concentrations, as well as larger, more general distribution areas in NH and ME coastal waters were developed through interviews with resource experts at UNH, NH DES and NH Fish and Game. Horseshoe crab (Limulus polyphemus) distributions in this atlas include general distribution polygons as well as known spawning sites based on GIS data sets provided by the MEDMR, and from expert opinion provided by UNH. The MDIFW ETSC GIS data set was used to map distributions of invertebrate species classified as endangered, threatened, or of special concern within Maine. NH Freshwater mussel distribution maps were used from the NH Fish & Game Nongame & Endangered Wildlife Program.
