This data set contains sensitive biological resource data for rare plant species and sensitive habitat areas in Maine and New Hampshire. Vector polygons in this data set include rare plant species and communities from the Maine Natural Areas Program and fringe marsh habitat from the Maine Department of Inland Fisheries and Wildlife (MDIFW). 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 Maine and New Hampshire. 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. This project was supported by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), National Ocean Service (NOS), Office of Response and Restoration (OR&R), Emergency Response Division (ERD), Seattle, Washington. completed ESI Program Manager 7600 Sand Point Way NE Seattle WA 98115 orr.esi@noaa.gov pointOfContact ESI Program Manager 7600 Sand Point Way NE Seattle WA 98115 orr.esi@noaa.gov custodian asNeeded Data content is considered static once published.

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. unclassified NOAA Data Management Plan (DMP) NOAA/NMFS/EDM 40377 https://www.fisheries.noaa.gov/inportserve/waf/noaa/nos/orr/dmp/pdf/40377.pdf WWW:LINK-1.0-http--link NOAA Data Management Plan (DMP) NOAA Data Management Plan for this record on InPort. information crossReference vector textTable eng; US biota environment The software packages used to develop the atlas are Environmental Systems Research Institute's ArcGIS for Desktop 10.2(R) .

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. Horizontal Positional Accuracy Spatial components for the biological data layers can come from expert interviews, hardcopy, or digital sources. Some of the spatial components of the biological data layers may have been developed using regional experts who estimate concentration areas. It is difficult to estimate the positional accuracy of such data, except to state that they are compiled on hardcopy base maps with a scale of 1:24,000. Some of the spatial components of the biological data sets are developed from pre-existing digital or hardcopy sources and reflect the positional accuracy of these original data. Note that biological resource data by their very nature are considered "fuzzy", and this should be understood when considering the positional accuracy of vector digital objects representing these resources. See the Lineage and Process_Description sections for more information on the original source data and how these data were integrated or manipulated to create the final data set. Completeness Report These data represent a synthesis of expert knowledge, available hardcopy documents, maps, and digital data on rare plant species and sensitive habitat areas. Habitat features depicted in this data include rare plant species and communities from the Maine Natural Areas Program and fringe marsh habitat from the Maine Department of Inland Fisheries and Wildlife (MDIFW). Rare plant species in NH are tracked by the NH Natural Heritage Bureau and not included on this data due to vulnerability of collection concerns by the Bureau. The NH Natural Heritage Bureau should be contacted directly for up-to-date information or review of specific locations for rare plants, animals, and communities in NH. These data do not necessarily represent all habitat occurrences in Maine and New Hampshire.

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. Habitat features depicted in this data include rare plant species and communities from the Maine Natural Areas Program (MNAP) and fringe marsh habitat from the Maine Department of Inland Fisheries and Wildlife (MDIFW). All digital data received from NH and Maine for the Habitat Layer were edited as necessary to match NOAA ESI Shoreline layer included in this atlas. The MNAPs Rare Plants and Rare and Exemplary Natural Community and Ecosystem Types data maps locations of rare plants and rare and exemplary natural community and ecosystem types in the organized towns of Maine. This dataset is used for status assessment, species management, and habitat conservation of rare plant species and rare and exemplary natural communities and ecosystems in Maine. This subset of data published by MNAP represents species and natural community and ecosystem records for which the Maine Natural Areas Program has precise mapping information and it excludes examples of common natural community and ecosystem occurrences that are not exemplary. The Fringe Marsh (2015) polygon data set from MDIFW identify segments of fringe marsh along Maines coast which provide important habitat for fish and wildlife, especially when adjacent to other coastal habitats such as tidal flats and eelgrass beds. Fringe marsh differs from other coastal "meadow" marshes by location, shape, and vegetation. Fringe marsh tends to be at the edge of the salt water. It tends to be long and linear. Both of these characteristics make fringe marsh different from "meadow" marshes, which can extend much farther inland and have more complex vegetative communities. Fringe marsh may grade into low or high meadow marsh or may be isolated. Although the amount of fringe marsh can affects its value as wildlife habitat, the length of a particular fringe marsh segment probably is not that important. Pieces of fringe marsh separated by other landscape features such as rock may still function as a single ecological unit. The draft data set attempts to map Maine's fringe marsh. The mapping is based on high-resolution, low-tide imagery. Most of the polygons in this data set have not been field verified, but the ability to map fringe marsh from aerial imagery was developed by comparing sample polygons with field evaluations. That work demonstrated a capability to accurately identify fringe marsh segments at least 6 feet wide. This draft data is still being edited (as of Aug 2015), but the fringe marsh areas are not expected to change significantly in the final version of this data. Field verification of specific fringe marsh areas is always recommended when the accuracy of a single polygon is critical to the purpose for which the data is being used. 2016-01-01T00:00:00 ESI Program Manager orr.esi@noaa.gov processor Source Contribution: HABITAT information | Source Geospatial Form: vector digital data | Type of Source Media: UNKNOWN 24000 FRINGEMARSH2015 (FRINGE MARSH HABITAT ALONG MAINE'S COAST) 2015-01-01 publication MAINE DEPARTMENT OF INLAND FISHERIES AND WILDLIFE (MDIFW) 2015 Source Contribution: HABITAT information | Source Geospatial Form: vector digital data | Type of Source Media: UNKNOWN 24000 MNAP_EOS_ORG (RARE PLANT SPECIES AND RARE AND EXEMPLARY NATURAL COMMUNITIES AND ECOSYSTEMS IN MAINE) 2015-01-01 publication MAINE NATURAL AREAS PROGRAM 2015
