This feature class resides within the BIOLOGY Feature Data Set of the Long Island Sound - 2016 ESI Geodatabase. It contains vector polygons representing BIRDS data for Long Island Sound. The study area includes Long Island Sound, tidal tributaries, freshwater streams, lakes, and land areas in New York and Connecticut. Vector polygons in this data set represent bird distributions, nesting, rafting, roosting, wintering, and migration areas, and vulnerable occurrences. Species-specific abundance, seasonality, status, life history, and source information are stored in associated data tables (described in Entity Attribute Overview below) designed to be used in conjunction with this spatial data layer. This data set is a portion of the ESI data for Long Island Sound. 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.

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.

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 47217 https://www.fisheries.noaa.gov/inportserve/waf/noaa/nos/orr/dmp/pdf/47217.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 10.4(R) and SQL SERVER(R) (version 2005).

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, check the sources listed in the Lineage section.

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. Selection of Species: The 207 bird species displayed in this atlas include: alcids, diving birds, gulls, terns, passerines, pelagic birds, raptors, shorebirds, wading birds, and waterfowl. Species that are federally and state listed, and those that are considered at risk due to oil spills or other potential disasters are included. Particular focus was paid to identifying \x93special use areas\x94 such as migratory or wintering areas, nesting sites, concentration areas, roosting areas, and vulnerable occurrences. 2016-06-01T00:00:00 ESI Program Manager orr.esi@noaa.gov processor Colonial waterbirds, shorebirds, and wading birds: Data for this species group came primarily from US Fish and Wildlife Service, New York Natural Heritage Program, Saltmarsh Habitat and Avian Research Program, Connecticut Natural Diversity Database, International Shorebird Survey, and New York State Significant Coastal Fish and Wildlife Habitats. 2016-06-01T00:00:00 ESI Program Manager orr.esi@noaa.gov processor Waterfowl: Data for these species came primarily from US Fish and Wildlife Service, Mid-Winter Waterfowl Survey, the US Geological Survey Compendium of Avian Occurrence Information, and New York Significant Coastal Fish and Wildlife Habitats. 2016-06-01T00:00:00 ESI Program Manager orr.esi@noaa.gov processor Seabirds: Data on the distribution of Seabirds was primarily provided by the US Geological Survey Compendium of Avian Occurrence Information 2016-06-01T00:00:00 ESI Program Manager orr.esi@noaa.gov processor Avian Subject Matter Expert 2015-01-01 publication NOAA NCCOS Biogeography Branch 2015 CT Natural Heritage Program GIS Data 2015-01-01 publication Connecticut Natural Heritage Program 2015 Compendium of Avian Occurrence Information for the Continental Shelf Waters along the Atlantic Coast of the United States, Final Report (Database Section - Seabirds) 2009-01-01 publication U.S. Geological Survey http://www.data.boem.gov/pi/pdfimages/espis/5/5209.pdf WWW:LINK-1.0-http--link Source Citation URL Source Citation URL information 1978 2014 Comprehensive Conservation Plan 2006-01-01 publication US Fish and Wildlife Service International Shorebird Survey 2014-01-01 publication Manomet Center for Conservation Sciences 2012 2014 Long Island Coastal Waterbird Survey 2007-01-01 publication New York Department of Environmental Conservation 2010 2013 MID-WINTER WATERFOWL SURVEY 2014-01-01 publication UNITED STATES FISH AND WILDLIFE SERVICE, PAUL PADDING 2010 2014 NY Natural Heritage Program GIS Data 2015-01-01 publication NY DEC 2015 Northeast Coastal Areas Study 1999-01-01 publication Connecticut Dept. of Environmental Protection 1999 SALT MARSH HABITAT AND AVIAN RESEARCH PROGRAM 2015-01-01 publication SALT MARSH HABITAT AND AVIAN RESEARCH PROGRAM http://www.tidalmarshbirds.org/ WWW:LINK-1.0-http--link Source Citation URL Source Citation URL information 2011 2014 Significant Coastal Fish and Wildlife Habitats, Long Island Sound and Long Island 2015-01-01 publication NYS DOS http://www.dos.ny.gov/opd/programs/consistency/scfwhabitats.html#li WWW:LINK-1.0-http--link Source Citation URL Source Citation URL information 2015 Significant Coastal Fish and Wildlife Habitats, Long Island Sound and Long Island, GIS Data 2002-01-01 publication NYS DOS https://gis.ny.gov/gisdata/inventories/details.cfm?DSID=318 WWW:LINK-1.0-http--link Source Citation URL Source Citation URL information 2002 otherRestrictions otherRestrictions Access Constraints: None | Use Constraints: None
