* » Abstract |
This data set contains sensitive biological resource data for marine, estuarine, and freshwater invertebrates, and federally and/or state endangered, threatened, or rare insects in the New York/New Jersey Metro Area, Hudson River, and South Long Island region. Vector polygons in this data set represent invertebrate distributions, spawning areas, migration areas, concentration areas, and harvest areas. 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 the the NY/NJ Metro Area, Hudson River, and South Long Island region. 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. |
* 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. |

• 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. |

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. |

• Data 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. |

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. |

Completeness Report |
These data represent a synthesis of digital data, expert knowledge, survey data, maps, and unpublished reports on invertebrate distributions, spawning areas, migration areas, concentration areas, and harvest areas. These data do not necessarily represent all invertebrate occurrences in the NY/NJ Metro Area, Hudson River, and South Long Island region. The following species are included in this data set: (Species_ID, Common Name, Scientific Name or n/a if not applicable): 19, Blue mussel, Mytilus edulis; 25, Softshell clam, Mya arenaria; 41, Bay scallop, Argopecten irradians; 42, Northern quahog, Mercenaria mercenaria; 43, Eastern oyster, Crassostrea virginica; 44, Horseshoe crab, Limulus polyphemus; 45, American lobster, Homarus americanus; 46, Channeled whelk, Busycon canaliculatum; 49, Blue crab, Callinectes sapidus; 73, Longfin squid, Loligo pealeii; 285, Northeastern beach tiger beetle, Cicindela dorsalis dorsalis; 286, Ocean quahog, Arctica islandica; 287, Atlantic surfclam, Spisula solidissima; 377, Tidewater mucket, Leptodea ochracea; 378, Rare insect, n/a; 505, Monarch butterfly, Danaus plexippus; 543, Alewife floater, Anodonta implicata; 554, Eastern elliptio, Elliptio complanata; 575, Rare, LT, or LE invertebrate, n/a; 585, Coastal barrens buckmoth, Hemileuca maia ssp. 5; 586, Pine Barrens underwing, Catocala herodias gerhardi; 588, Atlantic razor, Siliqua costata; 658, Sandplain heterocampa, Heterocampa varia; 659, Checkered white, Pontia protodice; 660, Frosted elfin, Callophrys irus; 661, Gray petaltail, Tachopteryx thoreyi; 662, Hairy-necked tiger beetle, Cicindela hirticollis; 663, Hessel's hairstreak, Callophrys hesseli; 664, Eastern buckmoth, Hemileuca maia maia; 665, Jersey jair underwing, Catocala jair ssp. 2; 666, Leonard's skipper, Hesperia leonardus; 667, Little bluet, Enallagma minusculum; 668, Myrina Fritillary, Boloria selene myrina; 669, Pine Barrens bluet, Enallagma recurvatum; 670, Scarlet bluet, Enallagma pictum; 675, Whelk, 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, 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 Number | 1 |

» Description |
Step 1. Selection of species and data sources. Four main sources of data were used to depict invertebrate distribution and seasonality for this data layer: 1) digital/tabular data sets provided by the New York Natural Heritage Program (NY NHP), NatureServe (NJ), and New York State Department of State (NYSDOS); 2) fishery-independent survey data provided by the Virginia Institute of Marine Science (VIMS), New York State Department of Environmental Conservation (NYSDEC), New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection (NJDEP), and National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS); 3) published and unpublished reports; and 4) expert knowledge from resource experts with the NYSDEC, NJDEP, NPS, Cary Institute, Bayshore Watershed Council, and Molloy College. Invertebrates depicted in this atlas include selected marine and estuarine species of commercial, recreational, ecological, and/or conservation interest. Several known invertebrate concentrations, as well as larger, more general areas where invertebrate habitat exists, were mapped. The invertebrates mapped in the Hudson River estuary are blue crab, freshwater mussels, and rare insect species. |

Step 2. Developing ESI data for blue crab. Blue crab can potentially occur throughout the Hudson River below river mile 74, but only the probable mating and nursery distribution was mapped. Mating and nursery areas are typically shallow (3 m or less) water and salt marsh habitat from river mile 0 to 74 (Kenney pers. comm.). Important concentration areas are Haverstraw Bay, Tappan Zee Bay, and Newburgh Bay. Blue crabs were mapped using NYSDEC Western Long Island beach seine data, ELMR data, and expert knowledge. A large adult wintering concentration occurs November – March in the western part of New York Harbor (Kenney pers. comm.). A concentration of spawning females was mapped in Raritan Bay with information provided by NYSDEC (McKown pers. comm.). |

» Description |
Step 3. Developing ESI data for freshwaters mussels and rare insects. Based on freshwater mussel sampling by the Cary Institute, the section of the tidal Hudson River from river mile 132 to 154 supports a relatively large freshwater mussel population. The species that occur there are the tidewater mucket, alewife floater, and eastern elliptio. Densities (number of mussels per m2) were provided by the Cary Institute and used in the concentration field. Additional locations of the alewife floater and eastern elliptio, as well as rare insect species, were mapped using NY NHP data. Rare and endangered invertebrates were mapped using NY NHP and NatureServe (NJ) data with additional locations were provided by Fire Island National Seashore staff. Some species names were generalized as Rare Insect or Rare Invertebrate to protect sensitive species, as requested by the data provider. A large number of monarch butterflies move through Fire Island and Sandy Hook from August-October during their annual migration and these were included as migration areas. |

» Description |
Step 4. Developing ESI data for shellfish in bays. Shellfish landings data provided by NYSDEC were the primary data source for mapping shellfish distribution and concentrations in the Long Island south shore bays. For concentration, the average number of bushels landed in each bay from 2009 to 2013 was summarized for each species except for whelk. There is no mandatory reporting of harvest for whelk species, resulting in severe underestimates (McKown pers. comm.). Shellfish areas mapped with landings data were assigned the mapping qualifier HARVEST AREA. NYSDOS Significant Coastal Fish and Wildlife Habitat narratives were used to complete the south shore distribution of shellfish. Raritan Bay shellfish distributions were mapped using the Mid-Atlantic ELMR report. For bays in NJ, hardcopy shellfish maps were used to map shellfish concentrations. These maps date as far back as 1983 and are updated as resources allow, with northern quahog in Barnegat Bay the only recently mapped area/species (done in 2012). Pre-2012 data are identified with a concentration value of HISTORIC. Information from resource experts at the NYSDEC, NYSDOS Significant Coastal Fish and Wildlife Habitat narratives, and Mid-Atlantic ELMR data were used to fill data gaps. |

Step 5. Developing ESI data for horseshoe crab. Known horseshoe crab spawning areas were mapped using reports from surveyed sites. The actual spawning distribution is more widespread than is depicted on these maps, as any sandy, bayside beach could be potential habitat. High priority spawning beaches (as determined by the data provider) are indicated with HIGH in the concentration field. Spawning areas were mapped by buffering the shoreline by 50 m. Spawning areas were reviewed by resource experts and Fire Island National Seashore staff. |

Step 6. Developing ESI data for Atlantic surfclam and ocean quahog. Atlantic surfclam distributions in NY were mapped using survey data from NYSDEC. NYSDEC conducts routine population surveys using stratified random sampling. The survey takes place along the south shore of Long Island in that Atlantic Ocean from just east of Rockaway Inlet to Montauk Point, extending 3 nautical miles offshore. The study area is divided into 10 strata, with each stratum extending one mile in width and divided from west to east by Jones, Fire Island, and Moriches inlets. There is only one stratum from Moriches Inlet to Montauk Point, extending one mile from shore. Concentration values were determined by calculating the average clam density (clams/m2) in each stratum from 2005-2012 (total of 4 surveys). Concentrations are described as LOW, MEDIUM, and HIGH corresponding to the first, second and third, and fourth quartiles of density. The NJ surf clam resource is severely depleted with no recent landings except for a bait fishery off of Sandy Hook in prohibited waters. This area was given a concentration of Baitfishery Area. In approved waters the NJ surf clam harvest is virtually nonexistent, and this area was mapped as “historically productive” at the recommendation of NJDEP Bureau of Shellfisheries. Ocean quahogs were mapped using the Essential Fish Habitat (EFH) source document, which states that most adults are found at depths between 25 to 61 m with juveniles at depths of 45-75 m in the middle Atlantic Bight. Based on this information, the ocean quahog distribution was mapped from the 20 m isobath to the offshore extent of the AOI. |

Step 7. Assessing ocean distribution and abundance of selected species. The ocean distributions of blue crab, horseshoe crab, American lobster, and longfin squid were mapped using fisheries independent datasets: New Jersey Ocean Trawl Survey (NJ OTS), VIMS Northeast Area Monitoring and Assessment Program (NEAMAP), and NMFS Bottom Trawl Survey, using the same methods as with marine finfish as described above. For NJ OTS and NEAMAP data, the CPUE was calculated for each species by strata, and concentrations were described as “HIGH”, “MEDIUM”, “LOW” corresponding to the first, second and third, and fourth quartiles. Longfin squid concentrations were described as “ABUNDANT” or “HIGHLY ABUNDANT” due to their abundance in all depth strata. NEAMAP was used to map horseshoe crab and American lobster distributions in NY (except for the offshore strata) and NMFS was used to map blue crab in NY and all invertebrates in the NY offshore strata. A horseshoe crab concentration off the west end of Long Island was identified using the NYSDEC Atlantic surfclam survey data from 1999 – 2012 (6 years). The CPUE of horseshoe crab for each stratum was averaged across all years and concentrations were described as “HIGH”, “MEDIUM”, “LOW” corresponding to the first, second and third, and fourth quartiles. Only the high concentration strata were mapped as a concentration area. |

Step 8. Assessing seasonality and other considerations. The primary sources for invertebrate seasonality were mid-Atlantic ELMR, NJ OTS, EFH source documents, and resource experts from NYSDEC. Depending on the type of source data, two general approaches are used for compiling the data layer: 1) digital data layers are evaluated and used "as is" or integrated with the ESI base map features (ESIP, HYDROP, ESIL) 2) information gathered during initial interviews and reports are compiled and digitized using ESI base map features. See the Lineage section for additional information on the type of source data for this data layer. The ESI, biology, and human-use data are compiled into the standard ESI digital data format. A second set of interviews with participating resource experts are conducted to review the compiled data. If necessary, edits to the INVERT data layer are made based on the recommendations of the resource experts and digital data are created. |
