Data Management Plan
DMP Template v2.0.1 (2015-01-01)
Please provide the following information, and submit to the NOAA DM Plan Repository.Reference to Master DM Plan (if applicable)
As stated in Section IV, Requirement 1.3, DM Plans may be hierarchical. If this DM Plan inherits provisions from a higher-level DM Plan already submitted to the Repository, then this more-specific Plan only needs to provide information that differs from what was provided in the Master DM Plan.
1. General Description of Data to be Managed
Deep-sea corals, also known as cold water corals, create complex communities that provide habitat for a variety of invertebrate and fish species, such as grouper, snapper, and sea bass. The map depicts the relative likelihood of finding suitable habitat for stony corals at a given location and is a prediction based on a statistical model relating several environmental characteristics to the presence of stony corals using observations of stony corals. Stony coral are the primary reef-building corals and produce hard skeletons made of aragonite, a crystal form of calcium carbonate. Please also reference the "Deep-Sea Soft Coral Habitat Suitability" layer. Predictions from these habitat suitability models can be used to support conservation and management of deep-sea corals and to assist with targeting areas for mapping and exploration.
Notes: Only a maximum of 4000 characters will be included.
Notes: Data collection is considered ongoing if a time frame of type "Continuous" exists.
Notes: All time frames from all extent groups are included.
Notes: All geographic areas from all extent groups are included.
(e.g., digital numeric data, imagery, photographs, video, audio, database, tabular data, etc.)
(e.g., satellite, airplane, unmanned aerial system, radar, weather station, moored buoy, research vessel, autonomous underwater vehicle, animal tagging, manual surveys, enforcement activities, numerical model, etc.)
2. Point of Contact for this Data Management Plan (author or maintainer)
Notes: The name of the Person of the most recent Support Role of type "Metadata Contact" is used. The support role must be in effect.
Notes: The name of the Organization of the most recent Support Role of type "Metadata Contact" is used. This field is required if applicable.
3. Responsible Party for Data Management
Program Managers, or their designee, shall be responsible for assuring the proper management of the data produced by their Program. Please indicate the responsible party below.
Notes: The name of the Person of the most recent Support Role of type "Data Steward" is used. The support role must be in effect.
4. Resources
Programs must identify resources within their own budget for managing the data they produce.
5. Data Lineage and Quality
NOAA has issued Information Quality Guidelines for ensuring and maximizing the quality, objectivity, utility, and integrity of information which it disseminates.

Process Steps:
- 2017-05-01 00:00:00 - + Download the 3 zip files from https://coastalscience.noaa.gov/projects/detail?key=35: DSC_PredictiveModeling_US_Northeast_MidAtlantic.zip DSC_PredictiveModeling_US_Southeast.zip DSC_PredictiveModeling_US_Gulf_of_Mexico.zip + From each zip file, extract the ESRI_Grid folder from the Thresholded_Logistic_Outputs folders + For each location, separate rasters into soft and stony: GOM Soft GOM Stony SE Soft SE Stony NE Soft NE Stony ALCY LOPHPERT ALCY ENALPROF ALCY SCLER ALCYGORG MADRAC ALCYCALCAX LOPHPERT ALCYGORG SCLERCARYO ALCYNONGORG MADREP ALCYGORG MADROCUL ALCYNONGORG SCLERFLABELL ANTI SCLER ALCYHOLAX OCULSPP PENN BEBR SCLERFRAME ALCYNONGORG SCLERFRAME PENNSESS CALLO SCLERNONFRAME ANTI SCLERNONFRAME PENNSUBSESS ELLIS PENN STYL GORG HYPNO ISID PARA PLEX + Using the Raster Calculator, Average each of the 6 groupings into a new raster + Project each output into WGS 1984 Auxiliary Sphere + Mosaic to New Raster the 3 soft coral rasters and the 3 stony coral rasters using MEAN as the mosaic operator + Convert Raster to Polygon the soft coral raster and the stony coral raster, unchecking the box to simplify polygons + In each feature class, select features where gridcode = 0 and switch selection + Dissolve both feature classes on gridcode field, unchecking the box to create multipart features + Rename gridcode field to value
- 2017-08-29 00:00:00 - Working from data processed in May 2017: 1. Renamed value field to "predictedLikelihood" 2. Created Domain for predictedLikelihood field based on NCCOS documentation for Low (0-1), Medium-Low (1-2), Medium (2-5), High (6-9), and Very High (10) thresholded values. 3. Assigned Domain to predictedLikelihood field. 4. Updated cartography and legend based on these new descriptor values. 5. Created new layer file.

7. Data Access
NAO 212-15 states that access to environmental data may only be restricted when distribution is explicitly limited by law, regulation, policy (such as those applicable to personally identifiable information or protected critical infrastructure information or proprietary trade information) or by security requirements. The EDMC Data Access Procedural Directive contains specific guidance, recommends the use of open-standard, interoperable, non-proprietary web services, provides information about resources and tools to enable data access, and includes a Waiver to be submitted to justify any approach other than full, unrestricted public access.
None
Notes: The name of the Organization of the most recent Support Role of type "Distributor" is used. The support role must be in effect. This information is not required if an approved access waiver exists for this data.
Notes: This field is required if a Distributor has not been specified.
