This data set contains sensitive biological resource data for sensitive/rare coastal plants and submerged aquatic vegetation (SAV) for Long Island, New York. Vector polygons in this data set represent sensitive/rare coastal plants recognized by the Natural Heritage Program (NHP) and eelgrass 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 Environmental Sensitivity Index (ESI) data for Long Island. 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.

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. 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.

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\xAE to ARC/INFO\xAE 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 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 habitat distribution and seasonality for this data layer: 1) digital data depicting rare/senstive coastal plants provided by the New York State Natural Heritage Program (NYS NHP) and 2) digital data depicting eelgrass provided by National Park Service (NPS) Fire Island National Seashore, South Shore Estuary Reserve, Peconic Estuary Reserve, and U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) Long Island Sound.The above digital and/or hardcopy sources were compiled by the project biologist to create the HABITATS data layer. Depending on the type of source data, three general approaches are used for compiling a biology data layer: 1) information gathered during initial interviews and from hardcopy sources is compiled onto U.S. Geological Survey 1:24,000 topographic quadrangles and digitized; 2) hardcopy maps are digitized at their source scale; and/or 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 is conducted to review the maps. If necessary, edits to the HABITATS data layer are made based on the recommendations of the resource experts, and final hardcopy maps and digital data are created. 2009-03-01T00:00:00 Source Contribution: HABITATS INFORMATION | Source Geospatial Form: raster digital data | Type of Source Media: hard drive 24000 FIIS_SAV_Quickbird 2005-01-01 publication FIRE ISLAND NATIONAL PARK SERVICE 2004 Source Contribution: HABITATS INFORMATION | Source Geospatial Form: vector digital data | Type of Source Media: CD-ROM 24000 LONG ISLAND BENTHIC HABITAT (FINAL_POLY) 2003-01-01 publication GREENHORN AND O'MARA 2002 Source Contribution: HABITATS INFORMATION | Source Geospatial Form: vector digital data | Type of Source Media: EMAIL 24000 NHP LOW PRECISION SPECIES 07 2007-01-01 publication NYS DEC 2007 Source Contribution: HABITATS INFORMATION | Source Geospatial Form: vector digital data | Type of Source Media: EMAIL 24000 NHP SPECIES 07 2007-01-01 publication NEW YORK STATE DEPARTMENT OF ENVIRONMENTAL CONSERVATION (NYS DEC) 2007 Source Contribution: HABITATS INFORMATION | Source Geospatial Form: vector digital data | Type of Source Media: CD-ROM 24000 SAV - PECONIC ESTUARY PROGRAM 2003-01-01 publication U.S. FISH AND WILDLIFE SERVICE 2000 Source Contribution: HABITATS INFORMATION | Source Geospatial Form: vector digital data | Type of Source Media: CD-ROM 20000 SAV-LONG ISLAND SOUND 2006-01-01 publication U.S. FISH AND WILDLIFE SERVICE 2006
