Item Identification

Title: Smalltooth sawfish US portion critical habitat for use in ESA/FIFRA consultations
Publication Date: 2024-07-01
Abstract:

These data represent the critical habitat for smalltooth sawfish (Pristis pectinata) as designated by 74 FR 45353, September 2, 2009, Rules and Regulations.The purpose of these data is to visually represent the critical habitat areas for GIS analysis and display.

Purpose:

This spatial data file was modified from NMFS’s “agency-official” species critical habitat data to aid in the ESA/FIFRA section 7 pesticide consultation process. For example, existing data were adapted to incorporate associated watersheds where applicable, based on the USGS Watershed Boundary Dataset HUC-12 data (https://www.usgs.gov/national-hydrography/watershed-boundary-dataset). The modifications to the NMFS critical habitat spatial data make the data more compatible for future analyses with EPA’s Use Data Layers (UDLs). The following “Description” is from the original, “agency-official” data that was used to make this HUC-based map. Most of the metadata record for this species matches the “agency-official” record; however, NMFS added a new "Citation", "File Identifier", “Credits”, “Point of Contact”, and “Lineage Process Step” that are unique to this HUC-based critical habitat data.

Data Use Constraints:

Users be advised that the accuracy of this data set is completely dependent upon the accuracy of the shoreline, State Park and Aquatic Preserve, and National Park data used in the creation process. For more details on this process, see the process description. The text description in 74 FR 45353 is always the one, true definition of smalltooth sawfish critical habitat. These or any other depictions are for information purposes only and shouldn't be relied on for regulatory purposes.

Lineage

Process Steps

Process Step 1

CC ID: 1337469
Description:

Shorelines, roads, state parks, state aquatic preserves, national park boundaries and COLREGS-72 lines were merged to produce the Critical Habitat area described in the text of the rule.

Process Date/Time: 2009-09-02 00:00:00

Process Step 2

CC ID: 1337470
Description:

As described above, this species’ HUC-based critical habitat dataset was modified from the polygon-based species “agency-official” NMFS critical habitat data. This HUC-based critical habitat file represents the HUC-12 watersheds (USGS Watershed Boundary Dataset; https://www.usgs.gov/national-hydrography/watershed-boundary-dataset) that intersect with the “agency-official” critical habitat polygon-based data. The data were reviewed and revised to add any additional HUC-12 watersheds that were determined to have hydrologic connectivity to the critical habitat.
