This data set contains sensitive biological resource data for marine, estuarine, anadromous, and freshwater fish species in Chesapeake Bay and the Outer Coasts of Maryland and Virginia. Vector polygons in this data set represent fish distribution, concentration areas, spawning areas, nursery areas, and migration runs. 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 ESI data for Chesapeake Bay and the Outer Coasts of Maryland and Virginia. 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. See also the FISHL data layer, part of the larger Chesapeake Bay and the Outer Coasts of Maryland and Virginia ESI database, for additional fish information. 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. 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.

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 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. 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 expert knowledge, digital data, hardcopy maps, scientific reports, journal articles, published literature, and survey data.

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. This atlas supersedes two separate first edition atlases, Virginia (2005, #25) and Maryland (2007, #47). Data for fish distributions consists of input from resource experts from NOAA, MD DNR, VDGIF, VIMS, and USFWS; hardcopy maps; scientific reports; and digital data from VIMS, MD DNR, VDGIF, USFWS, and TNC. Striped bass distributions, spawning and nursery areas were mapped using data from MD DNR, VDGIF, and VIMS. Spawning areas in Maryland were mapped based on the official designation of spawning reaches and rivers. Additional spawning areas and nursery areas were mapped based on input from MD DNR biologists. In Virginia, spawning and nursery areas were mapped based on input from VIMS and VDGIF biologists. Areas in the ESI identified as striped bass 'spawning' or 'nursery' areas, specifically large areas in the Potomac, York, James, and Rappahannock Rivers, represent the most important early life stage areas; however, striped bass likely utilize other smaller tributaries and water bodies for spawning as well. Alewife, blueback herring, American shad, and hickory shad distributions were mapped based on presence and likely presence as identified in the Nature Conservancy's Chesapeake Fish Passage Prioritization Project data comprised of data supplied by NOAA, USFWS, VDGIF, and MD DNR. In Maryland spawning and nursery areas for alewife and blueback herring were developed using data supplied by MD DNR, with significant edits made based on input from MD DNR biologists. American shad and hickory shad spawning and nursery areas were based on input from MD DNR biologists. In Virginia, alewife, blueback herring, American shad, and hickory shad spawning and nursery areas were based on data from the Habitat Requirements for Chesapeake Bay Living Resources. This data was thoroughly reviewed and edited by VIMS and VDGIF biologists. It should be noted that alewife, blueback herring, and shad species spawn outside of the areas identified as 'spawning areas' in the ESI. This is especially true of the two herring species which utilize freshwater streams and lakes to a large degree for spawning. In both Virginia and Maryland white and yellow perch spawning and nursery areas were mapped using the Habitat Requirements for Chesapeake Bay Living Resources, then modified based on input from MD DNR, USFWS, VIMS, and VDGIF biologists. Populations of shortnose sturgeon and Atlantic sturgeon are found in Chesapeake Bay and adult and sub-adult Atlantic sturgeon also occur in the coastal waters of Virginia and Maryland. Data on shortnose sturgeon populations in Chesapeake Bay is limited to incidental catches during a tagging program for Atlantic sturgeon by USFWS, and to a few recent studies of movements in the Potomac River. Generally shortnose sturgeon are concentrated in the upper portions of the Chesapeake Bay, roughly from the mouth of the Chester River and north, but they are not uncommon to the mouth of the Potomac, and have been found to stray as far south as James River in Virginia. No spawning of shortnose sturgeon has been documented in Chesapeake Bay, but there is some evidence of potential for spawning in the Potomac River and possibly the Susquehanna. Atlantic sturgeon inhabit all areas in the Chesapeake Bay at various life stages. 2016-09-01T00:00:00 ESI Program Manager orr.esi@noaa.gov processor In the ESI data tables, larvae refer to fish less than 4 weeks old, juveniles refer to young-of-year, and adults include both sub-adults (age 2 to 15) and adults. Eggs, larvae, and juveniles are restricted to known or potential spawning rivers, including the James River, Rappahannock River, and the York River system, which includes the Mattaponi and Pamunkey Rivers. Spawning of Atlantic sturgeon has been documented in the James and Pamunkey Rivers, and is believed to occur in the Mattaponi and Rappahannock Rivers. In the James River evidence supports the view that spawning occurs during spring and fall migration runs. Atlantic sturgeon have also been observed staging in the lower Potomac river and one adult was tracked as far upstream as Brent Point. Spawning areas and concentration areas for Atlantic sturgeon were mapped based on input from USFWS, VCU, NOAA, MD DNR, and VDGIF biologists. 2016-09-01T00:00:00 ESI Program Manager orr.esi@noaa.gov processor The main source of data used to depict fish distributions in the FISH LINES data layer came from The Nature Conservancy's Chesapeake Fish Passage Prioritization Project. This data set was reviewed by MD DNR, VDGIF, and USFWS staff and recommendations were made as to which species and reaches should be displayed in the ESI. Data in the FISH LINES layer were mapped to areas in the ESI that extend beyond the polygons that make up the hydro layer of the ESI. Species mapped to the FISH LINES layer that were derived from the Chesapeake Fish Passage Priorization Project include alewife, blueback herring, American shad, and hickory shad. Small distributions of white perch and yellow perch that were mapped to the FISH LINES data layer were derived from the Habitat Requirements for Chesapeake Bay Living Resources. The above digital and/or hardcopy sources were compiled by the project biologist to create the FISH LINES data layer. ESI Program Manager orr.esi@noaa.gov processor Data from the above sources were compiled by the project biologist to create the FISH POLYGONS and LINES data layers. Three general approaches are used for compiling the data layer: 1) information gathered during initial interviews and from hardcopy sources are compiled onto U.S. Geological Survey 1:24,000 topographic quadrangles and digitized; 2) hardcopy maps are digitized at their source scale; 3) digital data layers are evaluated and used "as is" or integrated with the hardcopy data sources. See the Lineage section for additional information. Once 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 FISH POLYGONS and LINES data layers were made based on the recommendations of the resource experts, and final hardcopy maps and digital data are created. 2016-09-01T00:00:00 ESI Program Manager orr.esi@noaa.gov processor Source Contribution: FISH INFORMATION | Source Geospatial Form: EXPERT KNOWLEDGE | Type of Source Media: PERSONAL COMMUNICATION ANADROMOUS FISH LIFE HISTORY AND HABITAT USE IN CHESAPEAKE BAY, VA 2016-01-01 publication GREENLEE, B., VIRGINIA DEPARTMENT OF GAME AND INLAND FISHERIES (VDGIF) AND SPELLS, A., U.S. FISH AND WILDLIFE SERVICE (USFWS) 2016 Source Contribution: FISH INFORMATION | Source Geospatial Form: EXPERT KNOWLEDGE | Type of Source Media: PERSONAL COMMUNICATION ATLANTIC AND SHORTNOSE STURGEON LIFE HISTORY AND HABITAT USE IN CHESAPEAKE BAY 2016-01-01 publication NATIONAL OCEANIC AND ATMOSPHERIC ADMINISTRATION (NOAA) OFFICE OF PROTECTED RESOURCES - J.
