This data set contains sensitive biological resource data for Steller sea lions and polar bears in Northwest Arctic, Alaska. Vector points in this data set represent Steller sea lion haul-outs and polar bear dens. Species-specific abundance, seasonality, status, life history, and source information are stored in relational data tables (described below) designed to be used in conjunction with this spatial data layer. See also the M_MAMMAL (Marine Mammal Polygons) data layer, part of the larger Northwest Arctic, Alaska ESI database, for additional marine mammal information.This data set comprises a portion of the Environmental Sensitivity Index (ESI) data for Northwest Arctic, Alaska. ESI data characterize the marine and coastal environments and wildlife by their sensitivity to spilled oil. The ESI data include information for three main components: shoreline habitats, sensitive biological resources, and human-use resources. The ESI data were collected, mapped, and digitized to provide 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.

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. 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 successfully on a computer system at the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, 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.

The process includes a standardized data entry methodology, hardcopy 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 This biological data set was developed from pre-existing digital sources and reflects the positional accuracy of these original data. See the Lineage and Process_Description sections for more information on the original data source and how these data were integrated or manipulated to create the final data set. 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. Completeness Report These data represent a synthesis of expert knowledge and latitude/longitude data on Steller sea lion haul-outs and polar bear dens. Refer to the M_MAMMAL (Marine Mammal Polygons) data layer for additional Steller seal lion and polar bear information. These data do not represent all marine mammal occurrences in Northwest Arctic, Alaska. The following species are included in this data set (Species_ID, Common Name, Scientific Name, if applicable): 1, Steller (Northern) sea lion, Eumetopias jubatus; 90, Polar bear, Ursus maritimus. 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 (such as dangles, unnecessary nodes, etc.), and ORACLE(r) to ARC/INFO(r) consistencies. A final review is made by the GIS manager, where the data are written to CD-ROM and the metadata are written.After the data are delivered to NOAA, they are again subjected to a number of quality and consistency checks. In the process of checking for topological and database consistencies, new ID's and RARNUM's or HUNUM's are also generated. The new ID's are a combination of atlas number, element number, and record number. In addition, the value used to represent the element is modified to reflect the type of feature being mapped. In the case of an element that is normally represented by a point or polygon, a value of 20 is added to the standard element value for mapping of linear features. In the case where an element usually mapped as a polygon is represented by a point, a value of 30 is added to the regular element value. The RARNUM's are also modified to include the atlas number, so multiple atlases can be combined and RARNUM's remain unique. RARNUM's are redefined on an element basis, so "resource at risk" groupings will contain only a single element. HUNUM's are also modified to include the atlas number. Two main sources of data were used to depict distributions of marine mammals for this data layer. These sources included 1) personal interviews with resource experts from U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS); and 2) National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) latitude/longitude data depicting occurrences of Steller sea lion haul-outs, and USFWS latitude/longitude data depicting occurrences of polar bear dens. Latitude/longitude data and seasonality information were gathered during initial interviews with resource experts. The latitude/longitude data were converted into geographic point features and incorporated in an ArcInfo system to create the M_MAMPT data layer. All ESI, biology, and human-use data were plotted onto scanned images of U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) 1:250,000 topographic quadrangles that were used as base maps. Following creation of draft maps, a set of interviews was conducted with the resource experts. Participants who were unable to attend the meetings were sent a set of maps to review. Edits to the M_MAMPT data were made based on the recommendations of the resource experts. 2002-05-01T00:00:00 Source Contribution: Marine mammal information | Source Geospatial Form: Expert knowledge | Type of Source Media: CD-ROM Polar bear denning and feeding areas Kalzdorff, S.
