Funding was provided by Navy Region Northwest. This data set was prepared by Concurrent Technologies Corporation, Bremerton, Washington, and Sound GIS, Seattle, Washington with support from Research Planning, Inc., Columbia, South Carolina, for the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), National Ocean Service, Office of Response and Restoration, Hazardous Materials Response Division, Seattle, Washington.
This data set contains sensitive biological resource data for wading birds, shorebirds, waterfowl, diving birds, seabirds, raptors, gulls, and terns in Puget Sound and Strait of Juan de Fuca, Washington. Vector polygons in this data set represent locations of bird resting, feeding, migratory staging, and wintering sites. Species-specific abundance, seasonality, status, life history, and source information are stored in relational data tables (described below) designed to be used in conjunction with this spatial data layer.This data set comprises a portion of the Environmental Sensitivity Index (ESI) data for Puget Sound and Strait of Juan de Fuca, Washington. ESI data characterize the marine and coastal environments and wildlife by their sensitivity to spilled oil. The ESI data include information for three main components: shoreline habitats, sensitive biological resources, and human-use resources. See also the NESTS (Nest Points) data layer, part of the larger Puget Sound and Strait of Juan de Fuca ESI database, for additional bird information.
The ESI data were collected, mapped, and digitized to provide 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.
This project was funded by Navy Region Northwest and supported by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), National Ocean Service, Office of Response and Restoration, Hazardous Materials Response Division, Seattle, Washington.

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, hardcopy 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. See the Lineage and Process_Description sections for more information on the original data source and how these data were integrated or manipulated to create the final data set. 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.
Completeness Report
These data represent a synthesis of digital data on bird resting, migratory staging, feeding, and wintering concentration areas. This information was adapted from Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife's (WDFW) Priority Habitats digital data and Puget Sound Ambient Monitoring Program's Marine Bird Surveys. Contact WDFW for additional information on these databases. See also the NESTS (Nest Points) data layer, part of the larger Puget Sound and Strait of Juan de Fuca, Washington ESI database, for additional bird information. These data do not necessarily represent all bird occurrences in Puget Sound and Strait of Juan de Fuca. The following species are included in this data set: (Species_ID, Common Name, Scientific Name [n/a if not applicable]): 1, Common loon, Gavia immer; 3, Red-throated loon, Gavia stellata; 7, Western grebe, Aechmophorus occidentalis; 26, Bufflehead, Bucephala albeola; 27, Long-tailed duck, Clangula hyemalis; 28, Harlequin duck, Histrionicus histrionicus; 31, Pacific loon, Gavia pacifica; 47, Pigeon guillemot, Cepphus columba; 50, Rhinoceros auklet, Cerorhinca monocerata; 79, Cormorant, Phalacrocorax sp.; 104, Murre, Uria sp.; 106, Ancient murrelet, Synthliboramphus antiquus; 136, Caspian tern, Sterna caspia; 299, Scaup, Aythya spp.; 300, Goldeneye, Bucephala spp.; 302, Scoters, Melanitta spp.; 1001, Gulls, n/a; 1002, Shorebirds, n/a; 1003, Waterfowl, n/a.
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 (such as dangles, unnecessary nodes, etc.), and SQL SERVER(r) to ARC/INFO(r) consistencies. A final review is made by the GIS manager, where the data are written to CD-ROM and the metadata are written.After the data are delivered to NOAA, they are again subjected to a number of quality and consistency checks. In the process of checking for topological and database consistencies, new ID's and RARNUM's or HUNUM's are also generated. The new ID's are a combination of atlas number, element number, and record number. In addition, the value used to represent the element is modified to reflect the type of feature being mapped. In the case of an element that is normally represented by a point or polygon, a value of 20 is added to the standard element value for mapping of linear features. In the case where an element usually mapped as a polygon is represented by a point, a value of 30 is added to the regular element value. The RARNUM's are also modified to include the atlas number, so multiple atlases can be combined and RARNUM's remain unique. RARNUM's are redefined on an element basis, so "resource at risk" groupings will contain only a single element. HUNUM's are also modified to include the atlas number.
Two main sources of data were used to depict bird distribution for this data layer: (1) Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife's (WDFW) Priority Habitats and Species database, and (2) WDFW's Marine Bird Density Atlas.From the WDFW Priority Habitats and Species data, we extracted polygons depicting concentration areas for harlequin duck, shorebirds, and waterfowl. From the WDFW Marine Bird Density Atlas, we extracted the 1-minute survey cells with the three highest density categories for each species and species group. Concentration and seasonality information was provided by resource experts, or was extracted from published sources, reports, and survey data.The above digital and/or hardcopy sources were compiled by the project biologist to create the BIRDS data layer. Depending on the type of source data, three general approaches are used for compiling a biology data layer: (1) information gathered during initial interviews and from hardcopy sources are compiled onto U.S. Geological Survey 1:24,000 topographic quadrangles and digitized; (2) hardcopy maps are digitized at their source scale; (3) digital data layers are evaluated and used "as is" or integrated with the hardcopy data sources. See the Lineage section for additional information on the type of source data for this data layer.

The compiled ESI, biology, and human-use data are plotted onto hardcopy draft maps. Following the delivery of draft maps to the participating resource experts, a second set of interviews is conducted to review the maps. If necessary, edits to the BIRDS data layer are made based on the recommendations of the resource experts, and final hardcopy maps and digital data are created.
