This data set contains sensitive biological resource data for herpetiles in Maine, New Hampshire. Vector polygons in this data set represent a few species of sea turtles and inland species of turtles, frogs, and salamanders that are endangered, threatened, or of special concern. 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, 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.

NOAA provides no warranty, nor accepts any liability occurring from any incomplete, incorrect, or misleading data, or from any incorrect, incomplete, or misleading use of the data. It is the responsibility of the user to determine whether or not the data is suitable for the intended purpose. otherRestrictions Access Constraints: None otherRestrictions 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. otherRestrictions Distribution Liability: Although these data have been processed and used successfully on a computer system at the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), no warranty, expressed or implied, is made by NOAA regarding the utility of the data on any other system, nor shall the act of distribution constitute any such warranty. 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. unclassified NOAA Data Management Plan (DMP) NOAA/NMFS/EDM 40378 https://www.fisheries.noaa.gov/inportserve/waf/noaa/nos/orr/dmp/pdf/40378.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 herpetile concentration areas. These data do not necessarily represent all herpetile occurrences in Maine and New Hampshire. The following species are included in this data set: R00036, Rare salamander, n/a; R00168, Northern leopard frog, Rana pipiens; R00169, Blue-spotted salamander, Ambystoma laterale; R00233, Jefferson salamander, Ambystoma opacum; R00252, Wood Frog, Lithobates sylvaticus; R00255, Spotted salamander, Ambystoma maculatum; R00207, Eastern ribbon snake, Thamnophis sauritus; R00219, Northern black racer, Coluber constrictor constrictor; R00002, Green sea turtle, Chelonia mydas; R00004, Kemp's ridley sea turtle, Lepidochelys kempii; R00005, Leatherback sea turtle, Dermochelys coriacea; R00006, Loggerhead sea turtle, Caretta caretta; R00032, Spotted turtle, Clemmys guttata; R00149, Blanding's turtle ,Emydoidea blandingii; R00150, Wood turtle, Glyptemys insculpta. 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. Sea turtles depicted in this data for both Maine and New Hampshire include Kemps ridley (Lepidochelys kempi, federally endangered), loggerhead (Caretta caretta, federally threatened), green (Chelonia mydas, federally threatened), and leatherback (Dermochelys coriacea, federally endangered). While these sea turtles are uncommon off the coast of Maine and New Hampshire, there are occasional seasonal sightings within the Gulf of Maine based on the 2010 Sea Turtle Sightings Per Unit Effort data prepared by The Nature Conservancy, as well as from interviews with local subject matter experts. In New Hampshire, inland species data were obtained from NH Fish & Game Department Reptile and Amphibian Reporting Program and through interview with local resource experts. In Maine, inland species data were obtained from MDIFWs mapped habitats based on observations of wildlife species that are Endangered, Threatened, or of Special Concern, as well as from MDIFW significant vernal pool buffers. MDIFW notes that this data is updated very regularly to reflect new observations and ideally updated monthly. All digital data obtained from NH and Maine for the Herp Layer were edited as necessary to match NOAA ESI Shoreline layer included in this atlas. 2016-01-01T00:00:00 ESI Program Manager orr.esi@noaa.gov processor Source Contribution: HERP information | Source Geospatial Form: EXPERT KNOWLEDGE | Type of Source Media: UNKNOWN DISTRIBUTION AND ABUNDANCE OF REPTILES IN NEW HAMPSHIRE MICHAEL MARCHAND 2015 Source Contribution: HERP information | Source Geospatial Form: EXPERT KNOWLEDGE | Type of Source Media: UNKNOWN DISTRIBUTION AND ABUNDANCE OF SEA TURTLES IN NORTHEAST ATLANTIC Sampson, Katherine A 2016 Source Contribution: HERP information | Source Geospatial Form: vector digital data | Type of Source Media: UNKNOWN ETSC (ENDANGERED, THREATENED, OR SPECIES OF CONCERN) 2015-01-01 publication MAINE DEPARTMENT OF INLAND FISHERIES AND WILDLIFE (MDIFW) 2014 Source Contribution: HERP information | Source Geospatial Form: document | Type of Source Media: online NEW HAMPSHIRE WILDLIFE ACTION PLAN 2015 REVISED EDITION 2015-01-01 publication NH FISH & GAME http://www.wildlife.state.nh.us/wildlife/wap.html WWW:LINK-1.0-http--link Source Citation URL Source Citation URL information 2015 Source Contribution: HERP information | Source Geospatial Form: PDF MAP | Type of Source Media: online RECORDS IN NEW HAMPHSIRE OF SPOTTED SALAMANDER 2014-01-01 publication NH FISH & GAME http://www.wildlife.state.nh.us/wildlife/profiles/spotted-salamander.html WWW:LINK-1.0-http--link Source Citation URL Source Citation URL information 2014 Source Contribution: HERP information | Source Geospatial Form: PDF MAP | Type of Source Media: online RECORDS IN NEW HAMPHSIRE OF WOOD FROG 2014-01-01 publication NH FISH & GAME http://www.wildlife.state.nh.us/wildlife/profiles/wood-frog.html WWW:LINK-1.0-http--link Source Citation URL Source Citation URL information 2014 Source Contribution: HERP information | Source Geospatial Form: PDF MAP | Type of Source Media: online RECORDS IN NEW HAMPSHIRE OF BLANDINGS TURTLE 2014-01-01 publication NH FISH & GAME http://www.wildlife.state.nh.us/wildlife/profiles/wap/dmap-blandingsturtle.pdf WWW:LINK-1.0-http--link Source Citation URL Source Citation URL information 2014 Source Contribution: HERP information | Source Geospatial Form: PDF MAP | Type of Source Media: online RECORDS IN NEW HAMPSHIRE OF BLUE-SPOTTED/JEFFERSON SALAMANDER COMPLEX 2014-01-01 publication NH FISH & GAME http://www.wildlife.state.nh.us/wildlife/profiles/wap/amphibian-bluespottedjeffersonsalamander.pdf WWW:LINK-1.0-http--link Source Citation URL Source Citation URL information 2014 Source Contribution: HERP information | Source Geospatial Form: PDF MAP | Type of Source Media: online RECORDS IN NEW HAMPSHIRE OF NORTHERN LEOPARD FROG 2014-01-01 publication NH FISH & GAME http://www.wildlife.state.nh.us/wildlife/profiles/wap/amphibian-leopardfrog.pdf WWW:LINK-1.0-http--link Source Citation URL Source Citation URL information 2014 Source Contribution: HERP information | Source Geospatial Form: PDF MAP | Type of Source Media: online RECORDS IN NEW HAMPSHIRE OF SPOTTED TURTLE 2014-01-01 publication NH FISH & GAME http://www.wildlife.state.nh.us/wildlife/profiles/wap/dmap-spottedturtle.pdf WWW:LINK-1.0-http--link Source Citation URL Source Citation URL information 2014 Source Contribution: HERP information | Source Geospatial Form: PDF MAP | Type of Source Media: online RECORDS IN NEW HAMPSHIRE OF WOOD TURTLE 2014-01-01 publication NH FISH & GAME http://www.wildlife.state.nh.us/wildlife/profiles/wap/reptile-woodturtle.pdf WWW:LINK-1.0-http--link Source Citation URL Source Citation URL information 2014 Source Contribution: HERP information | Source Geospatial Form: vector digital data | Type of Source Media: online SEA TURTLE SIGHTINGS PER UNIT EFFORT 2010-01-01 publication NORTHEAST REGIONAL OCEAN COUNCIL (NROC) http://www.northeastoceandata.org WWW:LINK-1.0-http--link Source Citation URL Source Citation URL information 2010 Source Contribution: HERP information | Source Geospatial Form: vector digital data | Type of Source Media: online 5000 SIGNIFICANT VERNAL POOL BUFFERS 2016-01-01 publication MAINE DEPARTMENT OF INLAND FISHERIES AND WILDLIFE (MDIFW) http://megis.maine.gov/catalog/ WWW:LINK-1.0-http--link Source Citation URL Source Citation URL information 2016 Source Contribution: HERP information | Source Geospatial Form: document | Type of Source Media: online VERNAL POOL ASSESSMENT 2001-01-01 publication MAINE DEPARTMENT OF INLAND FISHERIES AND WILDLIFE (MDIFW) https://www1.maine.gov/ifw/pdfs/species_planning/reptiles/vernalpools/vernal_pools.pdf WWW:LINK-1.0-http--link Source Citation URL Source Citation URL information 2001
