This data set contains sensitive biological resource data for marine, estuarine, and freshwater invertebrates, and federally and/or state endangered, threatened, or rare insects in Northwest Peninsular Florida. Vector polygons and points in this data set represent invertebrate distributions, spawning areas, migration areas, concentration areas, and harvest 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 the Northwest Peninsular Florida. 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.

It is the responsibility of the user to determine whether or not the data is suitable for the intended purpose. otherRestrictions Access Constraints: None otherRestrictions Use Constraints: DO NOT USE MAPS FOR NAVIGATIONAL PURPOSES. 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 54263 https://www.fisheries.noaa.gov/inportserve/waf/noaa/nos/orr/dmp/pdf/54263.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 package used to develop the atlas is 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. 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 digital base maps with a scale of 1:24,000 or larger. 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 digital data and expert knowledge on invertebrate distributions, spawning areas, and occurrences. These data do not necessarily represent all invertebrate occurrences in Northwest Peninsular Florida. The following species are included in this data set: (Species_ID, Common Name, Scientific Name or "n/a" if not applicable): 4, Pink shrimp, Farfantepenaeus duorarum; 41, Bay scallop, Argopecten irradians; 43, Eastern oyster, Crassostrea virginica; 44, Horseshoe crab, Limulus polyphemus; 49, Blue crab, Callinectes sapidus; 74, Stone crabs, Menippe spp.; 100, Quahog, Mercenaria spp.; 607, Oval pigtoe, Pleurobema pyriforme; 730, Suwannee moccasinshell, Medionidus walkeri. 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. Eastern oysters- The primary spatial data set used to map this species came from the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission, Fish and Wildlife Research Institute (FWRI) and is a conglomeration of the most current survey data available to the state. The contributing survey data sets were gathered between 1992 and 2016. Research indicates that this species has been in decline in this region since 1982, thus data from older contributing data sets may no longer be accurate. Oyster reefs present in the FWRI data set which were less than 500 square meters were converted to points in the geodatabase. Freshwater mussels- These species were mapped based on expert opinion and data from the US Geological Survey. Bay scallops- This species was mapped based on consultation with species experts at the FWRI and additional geographic bathymetric data from NOAA. Quahog- This species was mapped using written source information from NOAA and FWRI in addition to bathymetric data from NOAA. Horseshoe crabs- The spawning areas for this species were mapped based on the locations of sandy beaches in the ESIL feature class, and through consultation with species experts and the FWRI. Crabs and shrimp- Stone crabs, blue crabs, and pink shrimp were mapped based on consultation with species experts and bathymetric data from NOAA. 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 INVERT data layer are made based on the recommendations of the resource experts and digital data are created. 2016-12-01T00:00:00 ESI Program Manager orr.esi@noaa.gov processor Source Contribution: Source Format: DOCUMENT A REVIEW OF THE BIOLOGY AND MANAGEMENT OF HORSESHOE CRABS, WITH EMPHASIS ON FLORIDA POPULATIONS 2007-01-01 publication FLORIDA FISH AND WILDLIFE CONSERVATION COMMISSION (FWC), FISH AND WILDLIFE RESEARCH INSTITUTE (FWRI) http://f50006a.eos-intl.net/ELIBSQL12_F50006A_Documents/Technical%20Report%20TR-12_R.pdf WWW:LINK-1.0-http--link Source Citation URL Source Citation URL information Source Contribution: Source Format: DOCUMENT DISTRIBUTION AND ABUNDANCE OF FISHES AND INVERTEBRATES IN GULF OF MEXICO ESTUARIES VOLUME II: SPECIES LIFE HISTORY SUMMARIES 1997-01-01 publication NATIONAL OCEANIC AND ATMOSPHERIC ADMINISTRATION (NOAA), ESTUARINE LIVING MARINE RESOURCES PROGRAM https://docs.lib.noaa.gov/noaa_documents/NOS/ORCA/ELMR_report/ELMR_11.pdf WWW:LINK-1.0-http--link Source Citation URL Source Citation URL information Source Contribution: Source Format: EXPERT KNOWLEDGE DISTRIBUTION AND SEASONALITY FOR BAY SCALLOP AND EASTERN OYSTER 2017-01-01 publication STEVEN GEIGER, FLORIDA FISH AND WILDLIFE CONSERVATION COMMISSION (FWC), FISH AND WILDLIFE RESEARCH INSTITUTE (FWRI) Source Contribution: Source Format: EXPERT KNOWLEDGE DISTRIBUTION AND SEASONALITY FOR STONE CRAB, BLUE CRAB, HORSESHOE CRAB, AND PINK SHRIMP 2017-05-01 publication RYAN GANDY, CLAIRE CROWLEY, AND CHARLES CRAWFORD; FLORIDA FISH AND WILDLIFE CONSERVATION COMMISSION (FWC), FISH AND WILDLIFE RESEARCH INSTITUTE (FWRI) Source Contribution: Source Format: EXPERT KNOWLEDGE DISTRIBUTION AND SEASONALITY OF FRESHWATER MUSSELS 2017-01-01 publication NATHAN JOHNSON, USGS Source Contribution: Source Format: EXPERT KNOWLEDGE DISTRIBUTION, ABUNDANCE, AND SEASONALITY FOR HORSESHOE CRABS, BLUE CRABS, STONE CRABS, AND PINK SHRIMP 2017-08-01 publication RYAN GANDY AND CLAIRE CROWLEY, FLORIDA FISH AND WILDLIFE CONSERVATION COMMISSION (FWC), FISH AND WILDLIFE RESEARCH INSTITUTE (FWRI) Source Contribution: Source Format: DOCUMENT EARLY LIFE HISTORY AND SPATIOTEMPORAL CHANGES IN DISTRIBUTION OF THE REDISCOVERED SUWANNEE MOCCASINSHELL MEDIONIDUS WALKERI (BIVALVIA: UNIONIDAE) AND TABLE S1 (SUPPLEMENT) 2016-01-01 publication NATHAN JOHNSON, US GEOLOGICAL SURVEY, WETLAND AQUATIC RESEARCH CENTER Source Contribution: Source Format: DOCUMENT FLORIDA BAY SCALLOP 2015 ANNUAL REPORT 2016-01-01 publication FLORIDA FISH AND WILDLIFE CONSERVATION COMMISSION (FWC), FISH AND WILDLIFE RESEARCH INSTITUTE (FWRI) http://myfwc.com/media/2144988/2015-annual-report-public.pdf WWW:LINK-1.0-http--link Source Citation URL Source Citation URL information Source Contribution: Source Format: DOCUMENT FLORIDA'S INSHORE AND NEARSHORE SPECIES: 2016 STATUS AND TRENDS REPORT 2017-01-01 publication FLORIDA FISH AND WILDLIFE CONSERVATION COMMISSION (FWC), FISH AND WILDLIFE RESEARCH INSTITUTE (FWRI) http://myfwc.com/media/4212283/trends2016-fullreport.pdf WWW:LINK-1.0-http--link Source Citation URL Source Citation URL information Source Contribution: Source Format: HARDCOPY TEXT FRESHWATER MUSSELS OF FLORIDA 2014-01-01 publication JAMES D.
