The National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) developed this service to standardize its Endangered Species Act (ESA) critical habitat spatial data.
The spatial data represent critical habitat locations; however, the complete description and official boundaries of critical habitat proposed or designated by NMFS are provided in proposed rules, final rules, and the Code of Federal Regulations (50 CFR 226). Official critical habitat boundaries may include regulatory text that modifies or clarifies maps and spatial data. Proposed rules, final rules, and the CFR also describe any areas that are excluded from critical habitat or otherwise not part of critical habitat (e.g., ineligible areas), some of which have not been clipped out of the spatial data.
Layers are organized by ESA listed entities. A listed entity can be a species, subspecies, distinct population segment (DPS), or evolutionarily significant unit (ESU). NMFS and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service share jurisdiction of some listed entities; this service only contains spatial data for NMFS critical habitat. Critical habitat has not been designated for all listed entities.
Generally, each listed entity has one layer. However, a listed entity may have critical habitat locations represented by both lines and polygons. In these instances, "_poly" and "_line" are appended to the layer names to differentiate between the spatial data types. Lines represent rivers, streams, or beaches and polygons represent waterbodies, marine areas, estuaries, marshes, or watersheds. The 8 digit date (YYYYMMDD) in each layer name is the publication date of the proposed or final rule in the Federal Register. |
