This data set contains sensitive biological resource data for sea turtles and select estuarine/freshwater reptiles for the Florida Panhandle. Vector polygons in this data set represent sea turtle and select estuarine/freshwater reptile distribution. 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. This data set comprises a portion of the ESI data for Florida Panhandle. 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. See also the REPTPT (Reptile Points) data layer, part of the larger Florida Panhandle ESI database, for additional reptile information. 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. 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; the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), United States Coast Guard (USCG), Office of Incident Management and Preparedness Washington, D.C.; and the Fish and Wildlife Research Institute (FWRI), Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission, St. Petersburg, Florida. 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 notPlanned https://response.restoration.noaa.gov/sites/default/files/esimaps/gisdata/FloridaPanhdle_2012_datafig.jpg Depicts the relationships between spatial data layers and attribute data tables for the Florida Panhandle ESI data.

Besides the above warning, there are no use constraints on these data. 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: These data represent a snapshot in time and temporal changes may have occurred. These 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, and/or in-depth information is needed about a particular resource. unclassified NOAA Data Management Plan (DMP) NOAA/NMFS/EDM 40724 https://www.fisheries.noaa.gov/inportserve/waf/noaa/nos/orr/dmp/pdf/40724.pdf WWW:LINK-1.0-http--link NOAA Data Management Plan (DMP) NOAA Data Management Plan for this record on InPort. information crossReference vector eng; US biota environment The software packages used to develop the atlas are Environmental Systems Research Institute's ARC/INFO(R) (version 9.3) and SQL SERVER(R) (version 2000).

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 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, survey data, maps, and digital data on sea turtle and select estuarine/freshwater reptile distribution. See also the REPTPT (Reptile Points) data layer, part of the larger Florida Panhandle ESI database, for additional reptile information. These data do not necessarily represent all reptile occurrences in Florida Panhandle. The following species are included in this data set: (Species_ID, Common Name, Scientific Name [n/a if not applicable]): 2, Green sea turtle, Chelonia mydas; 3, American alligator, Alligator mississippiensis; 4, Kemp's ridley sea turtle, Lepidochelys kempii; 5, Leatherback sea turtle, Dermochelys coriacea; 6, Loggerhead sea turtle, Caretta caretta; 7, Diamondback terrapin, Malaclemys terrapin; 9, Hawksbill sea turtle, Eretmochelys imbricata; 12, Gulf salt marsh snake, Nerodia clarkii clarkii; 21, Gopher tortoise, Gopherus polyphemus; 24, Eastern indigo snake, Drymarchon couperi; 29, Carolina gopher frog, Lithobates capito; 30, Florida pine snake, Pituophis melanoleucus mugitus; 180, Alligator snapping turtle, Macrochelys temminckii; 200, Pine Barrens treefrog, Hyla andersonii; 201, Florida Bog Frog, Lithobates okaloosae; 202, Suwannee River cooter, Pseudemys suwanniensis; 203, Barbour's map turtle, Graptemys barbouri; 204, Common kingsnake, Lampropeltis getula. 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 SQL SERVER(R) to ARC/INFO(R) consistencies. 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 IDs and RARNUMs or HUNUMs are also generated. The new IDs 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 RARNUMs are also modified to include the atlas number, so multiple atlases can be combined and RARNUMs remain unique. RARNUMs are redefined on an element basis, so "resource at risk" groupings will contain only a single element. HUNUMs are also modified to include the atlas number. Two main sources of data were used to depict reptile distribution and seasonality for this data layer: 1) personal interviews with resource experts from: U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS), Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission - Fish and Wildlife Research Institute (FWC-FWRI), Big Lagoon State Park, Gulf Islands National Seashore (NPS), and Escambia County; 2) digital data sets provided by: FWC-FWRI and Florida Natural Areas Inventory (FNAI); and 3) published and unpublished documents. The above digital and/or hardcopy sources were compiled by the project biologist to create the REPTILES data layer. Depending on the type of source data, three general approaches are used for compiling the data layer: 1) information gathered during initial interviews and from hardcopy sources are compiled onto U.S. Geological Survey 1:24,000 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 compiled ESI, biology, and human-use data are plotted onto hardcopy draft maps. Following the delivery of draft maps to the participating resource experts, a second set of interviews are conducted to review the maps. If necessary, edits to the REPTILES data layer are made based on the recommendations of the resource experts, and final hardcopy maps and digital data are created. 2012-08-01T00:00:00 Source Contribution: REPTILES INFORMATION | Source Geospatial Form: HARDCOPY TEXT | Type of Source Media: ONLINE ALLIGATOR FACTS 2011-01-01 publication FLORIDA FISH AND WILDLIFE CONSERVATION COMMISSION (FWC) http://myfwc.com/wildlifehabitats/managed/alligator/alligator-facts/ WWW:LINK-1.0-http--link Source Citation URL Source Citation URL information 2011 Source Contribution: REPTILES INFORMATION | Source Geospatial Form: HARDCOPY TEXT | Type of Source Media: ONLINE ALLIGATOR SNAPPING TURTLE BIOLOGICAL STATUS REVIEW REPORT 2011-01-01 publication FLORIDA FISH AND WILDLIFE CONSERVATION COMMISSION (FWC) http://myfwc.com/media/2273250/Alligator-Snapping-Turtle-BSR.pdf WWW:LINK-1.0-http--link Source Citation URL Source Citation URL information 2011 Source Contribution: REPTILES INFORMATION | Source Geospatial Form: vector digital data | Type of Source Media: ONLINE APALACHICOLA RIVERKEEPER: SAVING AN AMERICAN TREASURE 2011-01-01 publication APALACHICOLA RIVERKEEPER http://www.apalachicolariverkeeper.org/home0.aspx WWW:LINK-1.0-http--link Source Citation URL Source Citation URL information 2011 Source Contribution: REPTILES INFORMATION | Source Geospatial Form: HARDCOPY TEXT | Type of Source Media: PAPER ASSESSING THE STATUS OF THE DIAMONDBACK TERRAPIN IN NWFL AND TERRAPIN MONTHLY OCCUPANCY UPDATE (2009) 2009-01-01 publication O'CONNOR, R.
