Long Island Sound, 2016
Project
Completed
2016
This feature class resides within the BIOLOGY Feature Data Set of the Long Island Sound - 2016 ESI Geodatabase. It contains vector polygons representing sensitive biological resource data for fish in Long Island Sound. The study area includes Long Island Sound, tidal tributaries, freshwater streams, lakes, and land areas in New York and Connecticut. Vector polygons in this data set represent fish distributions, spawning and nursery areas, concentration areas, migration areas, anadromous fish runs, and harvest areas.
Species-specific abundance, seasonality, status, life history, and source information are stored in associated data tables (described in Entity Attribute Overview below) designed to be used in conjunction with this spatial data layer. This data set is a portion of the ESI data for Long Island Sound.
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.
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.
Developed from MERMAid record number 1555. Converted from Content Standards for Digital Geospatial Metadata (version FGDC-STD-001-1998) using 'fgdc_to_inport_xml.pl' script in April 2017. Contact Tyler Christensen (NOS) for details.

As Needed
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.
Map (digital)
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, FISH) 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.
A complete description of entity types, attributes, and attribute values for ESI atlases can be found in the NOAA ESI Guidelines. This includes documentation of the six relational tables (mentioned above) used during data collection.

Although these data have been processed and used successfully on a computer system at the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), no warranty, expressed or implied, is made by NOAA regarding the utility of the data on any other system, nor shall the act of distribution constitute any such warranty. NOAA warrants the delivery of this product in computer-readable format. If problems are encountered in downloading the ESI data or with file corruption, contact NOAA (see Distributor). These data represent a snapshot in time and temporal changes may have occurred. The data are not intended to include all biological or human-use resources present in an area; they focus on species and resources particularly sensitive to oiling. In the event of a spill, they should be used for a first assessment only. The data providers are the experts with regard to individual resources. They should be contacted to confirm if more current data exist or if in-depth information is needed about a particular resource.

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.

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, check the sources listed in the Lineage section.

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.

Developing the spatial framework: The central features of the study area include Long Island Sound, one of the Nation\x92s largest estuaries, and adjacent waters. Fish polygons were created based on the natural geography of the estuarine, tidal, and fresh waters of the study area, combined with species information from published reports, field survey data (e.g. trawl and seine), and expert knowledge. The HYDROLOGY layer in this ESI digital atlas, derived from recent aerial imagery, defined the shoreline of Long Island Sound and tidal tributaries, generally up to the extent of tidal influence and/or the first barrier upstream. Rather than adopt a grid cell spatial framework, we divided the estuarine seascape of the study area into commonly used units including Eastern, Western, and Central Basins of Long Island Sound; Western and Eastern Narrows; Fishers Island Sound; Gardiners Bay; Peconic Bay; and Block Island Sound. Coastal embayments were clipped from these mainstem areas and considered as distinct estuarine units along the New York and Connecticut shores. Major tributaries such as the Connecticut River were subdivided to reflect the salinity gradient within tidal areas, and to separate tidal from non-tidal waters upstream. Some areas were delineated based on known concentrations of high-priority species using GIS data provided by regional experts (CT DEEP 2015a,b,c,d; NYS NHP 2015). Additional non-tidal fresh water bodies (i.e. lakes and streams) were adopted from the HYDROLOGY layer in cases where information was available to attribute these inland polygons with fish species (Jacobs and O\x92Donnell 2009, 2012; NYS DEC 2015 a, b). In some cases, stream polygons were developed by buffering a stream line feature to create a 10m-wide polygon. In all, the distributions of 89 fish species within the study area are represented by 614 polygons. A total of 75 sources were cited to develop the FISH layer.

Developing information for Atlantic and shortnose sturgeon: Atlantic and shortnose sturgeon (both Federal and State Endangered) were mapped to areas where they are known to occur in rivers and estuarine waters of the study area, primarily in Connecticut River (SSSRT 2010) and certain estuarine areas. Areas where Atlantic sturgeon are known to congregate in Long Island Sound are based on GIS data provided by CT DEEP and NYS DEC staff, published literature, and expert knowledge (CT DEEP 2015c, Anderson et al. 2015, Savoy and Pacileo 2003, Waldman et al. 2013).

Developing information for alewife, blueback herring, American shad, and other diadromous species: Alewife and blueback herring (collectively known as river herring), and American shad are anadromous fish that once supported large commercial and recreational fisheries on the Atlantic Coast, but have become depleted due to barriers to migration, habitat loss, and overfishing. Spawning runs were mapped using published information from NYS DEC and CT DEEP as well as knowledge from regional experts (Benway 2015, CRASC 2015; Greene et al. 2009; Hattala et al. 2011; Jacobs and O\x92Donnell 2009, 2012; Savoy et al. 2004; Young 2013). River herring runs were mapped to the first known barrier such as a dam or impassable gradient, unless a fish passage facility is known to exist. If the run went beyond the water features in the ESI HYDROLOGY layer, then it was mapped using stream line features and buffered to create a 10m-wide polygon feature. These areas are designated with "Spawning Area" and "Nursery Area" mapping qualifiers to emphasize these important life history stages. Tidal rivers and embayments that are important to early life stages of river herring and were included as nursery areas. River herring pre-spawning movements in certain rivers were mapped as migration areas. Timing of migration and spawning was based on published life history summaries. Other diadromous (migratory) species in the study area include American eel, striped bass, sea lamprey, hickory shad, and sea-run brown trout. These species were mapped using published information from CT DEEP, NYS DEC, and other sources.

Developing information for Long Island Sound mainstem areas: Major sources of information for fish in Long Island Sound include the published reports from the Long Island Sound Trawl Survey, conducted by Connecticut\x92s Marine Fisheries Division in Old Lyme, CT (Gotschall and Pacileo 2015, Gotschall et al. 2000). A recent study by The Nature Conservancy is based on these trawl survey data, and reports results on a per-species basis (Anderson et al. 2015). These sources were used to attribute fish species to the spatial framework polygons for Long Island Sound.

Developing information for coastal embayments: For the coastal embayments on the New York shore, NYSDEC staff provided Western Long Island (WLI) beach seine data for 1984 to 2013 that was used to develop species lists and concentrations for individual bays (NYS DEC 2014b). The WLI surveys are conducted from May to October and sampling stations are fixed locations based on accessibility. Bays surveyed include Little Neck Bay, Manhassett Bay, Hempstead Harbor, Oyster Bay, Stony Brook Harbor, Port Jefferson Harbor, and Peconic Bay. Trawl survey data were also provided for Peconic Bay (NYS DEC 2014a), and results were used to identify fishes and invertebrates common to that estuary. New York Department of State has designated certain areas as \x93Significant Coastal Fish and Wildlife Habitat\x94, and published assessments with information on fish, invertebrate, and wildlife species present (NYDS 2015). These narratives were used to supplement fish survey data for many areas, especially coastal embayments and shoals. For the coastal embayments and tidal tributaries on the Connecticut Shore, results of the Connecticut Beach Seine Surveys, Inshore Surveys, and other site-specific sources were applied (Molnar and Howell 2015, Howell 2015, Benway 2015).

Other fish species in freshwater streams, lakes, and ponds of Long Island were mapped using information published by New York Dept. Environmental Conservation (NYS DEC 2015 a, b), and also in the Bronx River (Rachlin et al. 2007, Bronx River Alliance 2015). Seasonality was described using published summaries of life history parameters.

Developing information for freshwater fishes in Connecticut: State freshwater fish species within the study area that are either listed or special concern in Connecticut include the banded sunfish (CT state special concern), blueback herring (CT state special concern), American brook lamprey (CT state endangered), bridle shiner (CT state special concern), and rainbow smelt (CT state endangered). These species were mainly mapped using GIS data from Connecticut\x92s Natural Heritage Program (CT DEEP 2015), supplemented with other sources (CT DEEP 2015a; Jacobs and O\x92Donnell 2009, 2012). Other fish species in freshwater streams, lakes, and ponds of Connecticut were mapped using information published by Connecticut\x92s Dept. of Environmental Conservation and other sources (CT DEEP 2015e, Jacobs and O\x92Donnell 2009, 2012; Jacobs et al. 2004). Seasonality was described using published summaries of life history parameters.
