Abstract

These feature classes reside within the BIOLOGY Feature Data Set of the Great Lakes - Straits of Mackinac - 2019 ESI Geodatabase. It contains vector polygons, lines, and points representing FISH data for the Great Lakes - Straits of Mackinac area of interest.

The study area includes the Straits of Mackinac, nearby portions of Lake Michigan and Lake Huron, and adjacent lands and waters in northern Michigan. These data sets contain sensitive biological resource data for freshwater fish species. Vector polygons, lines, and points in these data sets represent fish distribution, concentration areas, and spawning 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 the Great Lakes - Straits of Mackinac study area.

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.

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:

These feature classes reside within the BIOLOGY Feature Data Set of the Great Lakes - Straits of Mackinac - 2019 ESI Geodatabase. It contains vector polygons, lines, and points representing FISH data for the Great Lakes - Straits of Mackinac area of interest.

The study area includes the Straits of Mackinac, nearby portions of Lake Michigan and Lake Huron, and adjacent lands and waters in northern Michigan. These data sets contain sensitive biological resource data for freshwater fish species. Vector polygons, lines, and points in these data sets represent fish distribution, concentration areas, and spawning areas.

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.

Data Set Information

Data Set Scope Code: Data Set
Data Set Type: GIS Files
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 attribute tables associated with the ESI biology data are BIOFILE, SOURCES, and BREED_DT. The geographic data layers containing biological resource information (in this case, FISH, FISHL, and FISHPT) are 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, and the BIOFILE may have multiple records with the same RARNUM representing a variety of species, or a single species with differing attributes.

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.

Activity Log 1

CC ID: 891839
Activity Date/Time: 2019-10
Activity Type: Metadata creation
Responsible Party: Katy Beckham (Research Planning)
Description:

Metadata for the Great Lakes - Straits of Mackinac and St. Clair / Detroit River System ESI atlases were initially created by Research Planning Inc. (RPI) in October 2019.

Activity Log 2

CC ID: 893513
Activity Date/Time: 2020-01
Activity Type: Metadata review, revision, and publication
Responsible Party: David Moe Nelson
Description:

Metadata for the Great Lakes - Straits of Mackinac and St. Clair / Detroit River System ESI atlases were reviewed, revised, and prepared for publication by NOAA in January 2020.

Technical Environment

Description:

The software packages used to develop the atlas are Environmental Systems Research Institute's ArcGIS for Desktop 10.4.1(R) and SQL SERVER(R) (version 2005). The hardware configuration is PCs with Windows Operating System 10.

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, check the sources listed in the Lineage section.

Completeness Report:

These data represent a synthesis of sources of data, e.g., expert knowledge, available hardcopy documents, survey data, maps, and digital data on Fish distributions in the Great Lakes - Straits of Mackinac study area. These data do not represent all Fish occurrences in the Great Lakes - Straits of Mackinac region.

The following list of species includes those for two distinct areas of the Great Lakes: the Straits of Mackinac in northern Michigan, and the St. Clair / Detroit River System in southeastern Michigan. This is because these two study areas were initially combined into a single ArcGIS geodatabase, before being separated for publication. Many species are mapped in both study areas, but there may be other species that are mapped in one study area and not the other.

The following species are included in this data set, though not all occurrences may be mapped (Species_ID, Common Name, Scientific Name [n/a if not applicable]): 68, Chinook salmon, Oncorhynchus tshawytscha; 69, Coho salmon, Oncorhynchus kisutch; 70, Pink salmon, Oncorhynchus gorbuscha; 74, Rainbow trout, Oncorhynchus mykiss; 84, Rainbow smelt, Osmerus mordax; 85, Alewife, Alosa pseudoharengus; 144, Atlantic salmon, Salmo salar; 152, Yellow perch, Perca flavescens; 161, Lake sturgeon, Acipenser fulvescens; 164, Cisco, Coregonus spp.; 165, Lake whitefish, Coregonus clupeaformis; 167, Lake trout, Salvelinus namaycush; 174, Longnose sucker, Catostomus catostomus; 175, White sucker, Catostomus commersoni; 179, Largemouth bass, Micropterus salmoides; 180, Smallmouth bass, Micropterus dolomieu; 185, Northern pike, Esox lucius; 186, Muskellunge, Esox masquinongy; 187, Sauger, Sander canadensis; 188, Walleye, Stizostedion vitreum vitreum; 201, Channel catfish, Ictalurus punctatus; 232, Trout perch, Percopsis omiscomaycus; 237, Burbot, Lota lota; 238, Round whitefish (menomonee), Prosopium cylindraceum; 247, Emerald shiner, Notropis atherinoides; 1266, Lake chub, Couesius plumbeus; 1271, Slimy sculpin, Cottus cognatus; 1285, Brindled madtom, Noturus miurus; 1286, Northern madtom, Noturus stigmosus; 1287, Eastern sand darter, Ammocrypta pellucida; 1288, Kiyi, Coregonus kiyi; 1290, Spoonhead sculpin, Cottus ricei; 1291, Mooneye, Hiodon tergisus; 1292, Silver chub, Macrhybopsis storeriana; 1293, Pugnose minnow, Opsopoeodus emiliae; 1294, River darter, Percina shumardi; 1295, Bloater, Coregonus hoyi; 1296, Round goby, Neogobius melanostomus; 1297, Suckers, Catostomidae spp.; 1298, Deepwater sculpin, Myoxocephalus thompsonii.

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 complete 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.

Lineage

Lineage Statement:

Sources and Process Steps cited below in this metadata record include those used for two distinct areas of the Great Lakes: the Straits of Mackinac in northern Michigan, and the St. Clair / Detroit River System in southeastern Michigan. This is because these two study areas were initially combined into a single ArcGIS geodatabase, before being separated for publication. Some sources and process steps were used in both study areas, but there may be others that pertain to one study area and not the other. . As a final procedural step to prepare the geodatabases for publication, the spatial data data corresponding to each respective area were clipped in ArcGIS according to the two distinct geographic study areas.

Process Steps

Process Step 1

CC ID: 891866
Description:

Two main sources of data were used to depict fish distribution and seasonality for the FISH data layer: 1) personal interviews with resource experts from Bay Mills Indian Community, Chippewa Ottawa Resource Authority (CORA), Grand Traverse Band of Ottawa and Chippewa Indians, Little Traverse Bay Bands of Odawa Indians, Michigan Department of Natural Resources (DNR), Sault Ste. Marie Tribe of Chippewa Indians, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS), and U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) and 2) numerous published and unpublished reports and datasets. Fish species depicted in this atlas include species of conservation interest, or species of commercial, recreational, or ecological importance.

Process Step 2

CC ID: 891867
Description:

General distributions (FISH layer) – Fish general distributions were mapped using expert knowledge collected during workshops. Species included were determined by the experts for each of the basins in the study area. In Lakes Michigan and Huron, fish general distributions were mapped according to bathymetry. Polygons were created for the following depth zones: 0-10 m, 10-40 m, and >40 m, and species assemblages and appropriate life history stages and seasonalities were mapped in each zone. In the St. Clair – Detroit River System study area, fish general distributions were mapped according to geography. Species assemblages and appropriate life history stages and seasonalities were mapped to the following individual areas: St. Clair River, St. Clair Flats, Lake St. Clair, upper Detroit River, lower Detroit River, and western Lake Erie. Expert knowledge for mapping of fish general distributions was supplemented with information from reports and publications.

Process Step 3

CC ID: 891868
Description:

Concentration areas and tributaries (FISH layer) – Concentrations areas of various species were mapped using expert knowledge collected in workshops. Experts were asked to identify concentrations areas for any of the mapped species, and the species were mapped with a concentration of “HIGH” in polygons covering each of these areas. Experts also provided species lists and life history stages present in the tributaries of Lakes Michigan and Huron. Fish in larger tributaries were mapped as polygons, and fish in smaller tributaries and streams were mapped as lines.

Process Step 4

CC ID: 891869
Description:

One main source of data was used to depict fish distribution and seasonality for the FISHL data layer: personal interviews with resource experts from Grand Traverse Band of Ottawa and Chippewa Indians, Little Traverse Bay Bands of Odawa Indians, Michigan Department of Natural Resources (DNR), Sault Ste. Marie Tribe of Chippewa Indians, and U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS). Experts provided species lists and life history stages present in the tributaries of Lake Michigan. Fish in larger tributaries were mapped as polygons, and fish in smaller tributaries and streams were mapped as lines.

Process Step 5

CC ID: 891870
Description:

Two main sources of data were used to depict fish point distribution and seasonality for the FISHPT data layer: 1) personal interviews with resource experts from Bay Mills Indian Community, Chippewa Ottawa Resource Authority (CORA), Grand Traverse Band of Ottawa and Chippewa Indians, Little Traverse Bay Bands of Odawa Indians, Michigan Department of Natural Resources (DNR), Sault Ste. Marie Tribe of Chippewa Indians, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS), and U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) and 2) numerous published and unpublished reports and datasets. Spawning locations – Point locations of spawning sites were provided by Great Lakes Aquatic Habitat Framework (GLAHF). Additional spawning point locations were included from documents, publications, and maps provided by DNR, Michigan SeaGrant, and USGS, and from personal communication with resource experts.

Process Step 6

CC ID: 891871
Description:

The above digital and/or hardcopy sources were compiled by the project biologist to create the FISH, FISHL, FISHPT data layers. Depending on the type of source data, three general approaches are used for compiling the data layers: 1) information gathered during initial interviews and from hardcopy sources are compiled onto U.S. Geological Survey 1:50,000 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 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 FISH, FISHL, and/or FISHPT data layers are made based on the recommendations of the resource experts, and final hardcopy maps and digital data are created.

Process Step 7

CC ID: 896268
Description:

Sources and Process Steps cited above in this metadata record include those used for two distinct areas of the Great Lakes: the Straits of Mackinac in northern Michigan, and the St. Clair / Detroit River System in southeastern Michigan. This is because these two study areas were initially combined into a single ArcGIS geodatabase, before being separated for publication. Some sources and process steps were used in both study areas, but there may be others that pertain to one study area and not the other. . As a final procedural step to prepare the geodatabases for publication, the spatial data data corresponding to each respective area were clipped in ArcGIS according to the two distinct geographic study areas.
