This data set contains sensitive biological resource data for terrestrial, marine, and estuarine invertebrate species in Delaware Bay and nearby areas of Delaware, New Jersey, and Pennsylvania. Vector polygons in this data set represent invertebrate distribution and concentration areas. 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 Delaware/New Jersey/Pennsylvania. 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. 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; and The Department of Homeland Security, United States Coast Guard Office of Incident Management and Preparedness, Washington, D.C. 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, hardcopy 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 1:45,000. 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, available hardcopy documents, survey data, maps, and digital data on invertebrate distribution and concentration areas.

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. For each species, the mapping extent was dependent upon information availability and location of mapped coastal habitats and shorelines. Invertebrates depicted in this atlas include select terrestrial, marine, and estuarine species of commercial, ecological, and/or conservation interest. Horseshoe crab, blue crab, eastern oyster, knobbed and channeled whelk, Atlantic surfclam, and northern quahog support highly valuable commercial shellfisheries in the Delaware Bay region. Horseshoe crab spawning beaches were mapped using data from the 2013 report "Horseshoe crab spawning in Delaware Bay: 1999-2012" to the Atlantic States Marine Fisheries Commission's Horseshoe Crab Technical Committee. In Indian River Bay and Rehoboth Bay, spawning beaches were mapped using data from the Center for Inland Bays. Horseshoe crab distributions within Delaware Bay were mapped based upon catches in fishery independent trawl sampling data from Delaware Department of Natural Resources and Environmental Control (DNREC) and New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection Bureau of Shellfisheries (NJDEP BS). Distributions in the Atlantic Ocean were based mainly on published literature and expert knowledge. Data on eastern oyster distributions was provided by DNREC and NJDEP BS/Rutgers University. DNREC provided polygonal and point spatial data on oyster reef locations on the western side of Delaware Bay and its tributaries and NJDEP BS and Rutgers provided polygonal data for the larger oyster reef complexes on the New Jersey side of Delaware Bay. The timing of life history stages and seasonalities for all eastern oyster records were based on Estuarine Living Marine Resources (ELMR) data and expert review. Rare and endangered species of insects and other invertebrates from Delaware were mapped in part by using element occurrence data provided by DNREC. Species names were obscured to protect sensitive resources. Polygons in element occurrence records with a diameter greater than 100 meters (m) were mapped as is, and all other polygons were mapped after applying a polygonal buffer and a randomized geographic shift. Blue crab distributions were mapped in Delaware Bay based on expert knowledge from DNREC staff, and data from the fishery independent sampling surveys conducted by DNREC and NJDEP BS. Seasonality and life history stages were drafted from published literature and refined during reviews with DNREC staff. In the Inland Bays of Delaware and New Jersey, blue crab distributions, concentrations, and seasonalities were based upon mid-Atlantic ELMR data. Freshwater mussels were mapped in the Delaware River and small water bodies in Delaware and New Jersey based on data provided by DNREC, NJDEP Endangered and Nongame Species Program (ENSP), and Partnership for the Delaware Estuary (PDE). In the case of DNREC and PDE data, species names were masked to protect rare mussels. DNREC element occurrence polygons were buffered and randomly shifted when they were less than 100 m in diameter. Northern quahog was mapped in New Jersey based upon NJDEP BS hard copy documents. Additional records for northern quahog were mapped in New Jersey and Delaware from the mid-Atlantic ELMR report, in which data on occurrence and abundance of a species is generalized to much larger areas. Data on Atlantic surfclam distributions in NJ coastal waters was provided by NJDEP BS as a report on stock inventories. Report data was used to create three geographic regions with separate concentrations along the NJ coast. Mid-Atlantic ELMR data was used to fill in information about species or regions that are not directly sampled by DNREC or NJDEP BS staff. Presence/absence, concentrations, and life history stages were all incorporated as is for select geographies. These geographies include Barnegat Bay, inland bays of NJ, Delaware Bay, and the inland bays of DE. Species mapped from mid-Atlantic ELMR data include American lobster, blue crab, blue mussel, northern quahog, and softshell clam. 2014-03-01T00:00:00 ESI Program Manager orr.esi@noaa.gov processor The above digital and/or hardcopy sources were compiled by the project biologist to create the INVERTEBRATES data layer. Depending on the type of source data, 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 1:45,000 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 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 INVERTEBRATES data layer are made based on the recommendations of the resource experts, and final hardcopy maps and digital data are created. 2014-03-01T00:00:00 ESI Program Manager orr.esi@noaa.gov processor Source Contribution: INVERT INFORMATION | Source Geospatial Form: spreadsheet | Type of Source Media: EMAIL DELAWARE BAY 16 FT TRAWL INDEPENDENT SAMPLING DATA 2012-01-01 publication DELAWARE DEPARTMENT OF NATURAL RESOURCES AND ENVIRONMENTAL CONTROL (DNREC) 2003 2012 Source Contribution: INVERT INFORMATION | Source Geospatial Form: spreadsheet | Type of Source Media: EMAIL DELAWARE BAY 16 FT TRAWL INDEPENDENT SAMPLING DATA 2012-01-01 publication NEW JERSEY DEPARTMENT OF ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION DIVISION OF FISH AND WILDLIFE (NJDEP F&W) 2003 2012 Source Contribution: INVERT INFORMATION | Source Geospatial Form: EXPERT KNOWLEDGE | Type of Source Media: PERSONAL COMMUNICATION DELAWARE BAY FISH, SHELLFISH, MARINE MAMMAL, REPTILE REVIEW MEETING 2013-01-01 publication DELAWARE DEPARTMENT OF NATURAL RESOURCES AND ENVIRONMENTAL CONTROL (DNREC) - FISH AND SHELLFISH GROUP 2013 Source Contribution: INVERT INFORMATION | Source Geospatial Form: EXPERT KNOWLEDGE | Type of Source Media: EMAIL DELAWARE BIRDS SEASONALITY INFORMATION 2014-01-01 publication DELAWARE DEPARTMENT OF NATURAL RESOURCES AND ENVIRONMENTAL CONTROL (DNREC) - KALASZ, K., A.
