Vector polygons in this data set represent eelgrass, widgeon grass, water celery, macroalgae, and oyster reef distribution. 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 the NY/NJ Metro Area, Hudson River, and South Long Island region. 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.

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 51890 https://www.fisheries.noaa.gov/inportserve/waf/noaa/nos/orr/dmp/pdf/51890.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 digital data on eelgrass, widgeon grass, water celery, macroalgae, and oyster reef distributions. These data do not necessarily represent all benthic habitat in the NY/NJ Metro Area, Hudson River, and South Long Island region. The following species are included in this data set: (Species_ID, Common Name, Scientific Name or "n/a" if not applicable): 83, Water celery, Vallisneria americana; 213, Submersed aquatic vegetation, n/a; 1035, Macroalgae, n/a; 1184, Oyster reef, n/a. 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. Benthic habitats were mapped using available digital data for Barnegat Bay, the Hudson River estuary, and the South Shore of Long Island. Benthic habitats mapped in this atlas consist of submerged aquatic vegetation (SAV) and bivalve reefs. Benthic habitat was given the mapping qualifier of .High Ecological Value. as it provides spawning, nursery, and foraging habitat for fish and shellfish, habitat for macroinvertebrates, and food for waterfowl, fish, and mammals. The Hudson River estuary and Barnegat Bay have data sets for SAV inventories conducted in multiple years. In these cases, SAV in the most recent year for each area was mapped with a concentration value of .Present. while SAV from prior years was given the concentration value of .Potential.. SAV may eventually recover or be restored in areas where it has been lost, and it was recommended by the data providers that these areas be included in the atlas. Hudson River SAV was mapped using the combined Hudson River National Estuarine Research Reserve (NERR)/New York State Department of Environmental Conservation (NYSDEC) vector digital data from 1997, 2002, and 2007. The most recently mapped year (2007) was used to differentiate SAV classified as .Present. from the past or .Potential. distribution. The dominant species in the Hudson River estuary SAV community is water celery (Vallisneria americana). The dominant seagrass in Barnegat Bay and the South Shore estuary is eelgrass (Zostera marina), with widgeon grass (Ruppia maritima) occurring in shallower areas with lower salinity. Barnegat Bay SAV was mapped with 1979, 2003, and 2009 data, with 2009 SAV mapped as .Present.. Long Island.s South Shore estuary benthic habitats were mapped using the 2002 New York State Department of State (NYSDOS) benthic habitat data set and supplemented with Fire Island SAV data. Fire Island SAV data was included only in areas where it did not overlap with the NYSDOS data. The only bivalve reefs mapped in this AOI were in South Oyster Bay. In addition to seagrass and reefs, areas with macroalgae (seaweed) are shown in the South Shore estuary. The above digital sources were compiled by the project biologist to create the BENTHIC data layer. Depending on the type of source data, two general approaches are used for compiling the data layer: 1) digital data layers are evaluated and used "as is" or integrated with the ESI base map features (ESIP, HYDROP, ESIL) 2) information gathered during initial interviews and from hardcopy sources are compiled and digitized using ESI base map features. See the Lineage section for additional information on the type of source data for this data layer. The ESI, biology, and human-use data are compiled into the standard ESI digital data format. A second set of interviews with participating resource experts are conducted to review the compiled data. If necessary, edits to the BENTHIC data layer are made based on the recommendations of the resource experts and digital data are created. 2015-11-01T00:00:00 ESI Program Manager orr.esi@noaa.gov processor CLASSIFICATION OF SUBMERGED AQUATIC VEGETATION (SAV) FROM QUICKBIRD-2 SATTELITE IMAGERY FOR THE FIRE ISLAND NATIONAL SEASHORE: SAV_FINAL.IMG 2004-01-01 publication WANG, Y.Q.
