Vector polygons in this data set represent known terrestrial mammal concentration areas. 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 Massachusetts and Rhode Island. 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. 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 51808 https://www.fisheries.noaa.gov/inportserve/waf/noaa/nos/orr/dmp/pdf/51808.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. Completeness Report These data represent a synthesis of expert knowledge, available hardcopy documents, and digital data from the Massachusetts Division of Fisheries and Wildlife (MADFW) and Rhode Island Department of Environmental Management (RI DEM), and scientists on terrestrial mammal concentration areas. These data do not necessarily represent all terrestrial mammal occurrences in Massachusetts and Rhode Island. Rare terrestrial mammal species in Massachusetts were not included in their entirety in this atlas due to vulnerability of collection concerns by the MADFW NHESP. NHESP should be contacted directly for up-to-date information or review of specific locations. The following species are included in this data set: T00281, New England cottontail, Sylvilagus transitionalis; T00283, Northern myotis, Myotis septentrionalis; T00292, American water shrew, Sorex (Otisorex) palustris; T00294, Smoky shrew, Sorex fumeus; T00295, Southern bog lemming, Synaptomys cooperi; T00058, Meadow vole, Microtus pennsylvanicus; T00293, Eastern mole, Scalopus aquaticus; T00296, Woodland jumping mouse, Napaeozapus insignis. 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. Terrestrial mammals were primarily mapped to key habitats upon which they depend in the geographic areas where they are most commonly found according to the species profiles in the 2015 Rhode Island Wildlife Action Plan and 2015 Massachusetts State Wildlife Action Plan. Species that mainly utilize upland habitats such as forest or grasslands were mapped to generalized land polygons and include the New England cottontail (Sylvilagus transitionalis), northern myotis (Myotis septentrionalis), woodland jumping mouse (Napaeozapus insignis), and also a sub-species of meadow vole (Microtus pennsylvanicus) indigenous to New Shoreham (Block Island). The southern bog lemming (Synaptomys cooperi) occurs in freshwater emergent marsh mainly in the Great Swamp Management Area in South Kingstown, and the eastern mole (Scalopus aquaticus) is localized to sandy floodplains along the lower Pawcatuck River. The American water shrew (Sorex (Otisorex) palustris) was mapped to both forested swamps and to its specific areas of vulnerability as determined by the 2016 RI DEM Natural Heritage Areas dataset. The smoky shrew, which occurs in only a limited area of interior forest in Rhode Island, was mapped using the Natural Heritage data and assigned the mapping qualifier of “Vulnerable Occurrence”. Distribution polygons for the American water shrew, eastern mole, and woodland jumping mouse were also informed by capture points provided by Charles Brown, RI DEM. Distribution polygons for the New England cottontail and northern myotis within the Cape Cod National Seashore were also supported by expert knowledge provided by Robert Cook, National Park Service. Rare terrestrial mammal species in Massachusetts were not included in their entirety in this atlas due to vulnerability of collection concerns by the MADFW NHESP. NHESP should be contacted directly for up-to-date information or review of specific locations. 2016-01-01T00:00:00 ESI Program Manager orr.esi@noaa.gov processor 750000 2015 RHODE ISLAND WILDLIFE ACTION PLAN 2015-01-01 publication RHODE ISLAND CHAPTER OF THE NATURE CONSERVANCY, RHODE ISLAND DEPARTMENT OF ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT, UNIVERSITY OF RHODE ISLAND, AND THE RHODE ISLAND NATURAL HISTORY SURVEY http://www.dem.ri.gov/programs/bnatres/fishwild/swap15.htm WWW:LINK-1.0-http--link Source Citation URL Source Citation URL information 2015 750000 MASSACHUSETTS STATE WILDLIFE ACTION PLAN 2015 2015-01-01 publication MASSACHUSETTS DIVISION OF FISHERIES AND WILDLIFE http://www.mass.gov/eea/agencies/dfg/dfw/wildlife-habitat-conservation/state-wildlife-conservation-strategy.html WWW:LINK-1.0-http--link Source Citation URL Source Citation URL information 1980 2015 750000 NATURAL HERITAGE AREAS 2016 SPATIAL DATA AND SUPPLEMENTAL SPECIES LIST 2016-05-11 publication PAUL JORDAN, RHODE ISLAND DEPARTMENT OF ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT http://www.rigis.org/data WWW:LINK-1.0-http--link Source Citation URL Source Citation URL information 2016-05-11 RHODE ISLAND TERRESTRIAL MAMMAL CAPTURE POINTS DATA CHARLES BROWN, RHODE ISLAND DIVISION OF FISH AND WILDLIFE 2002 2010
