- Description:
- Abstract:
- This data set contains
sensitive biological resource data for alcids, diving birds, gulls,
terns, passerines, pelagic birds, raptors, shorebirds, wading birds, and
waterfowl in Delaware/New Jersey/Pennsylvania. Vector polygons in this
data set represent bird nesting, migratory staging, and wintering
sites. 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. See also the
NESTS data layer, part of the larger Delaware/New Jersey/Pennsylvania
ESI database, for additional bird information.
- Purpose:
- 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.

- DO NOT USE MAPS
FOR NAVIGATIONAL PURPOSES. Management boundaries are not to be
considered legal boundaries. Edges may have been altered for
cartographic processes. Besides the above warnings, there are no use
constraints on these data. 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. Acknowledgment of the originators, publishers, contributors, and
sources listed would be appreciated in products derived from these data.

- Data_Quality_Information:
- Attribute_Accuracy:
- Attribute_Accuracy_Report:
- A
multi-stage error checking process is used to verify both attribute
accuracy and logical consistency throughout data production. 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.
- Logical_Consistency_Report:
- 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 (such as dangles, unnecessary nodes, etc.), and SQL
SERVER(R) to ARC/INFO(R) consistencies. After the data are delivered to
NOAA, they are again subjected to a number of quality and consistency
checks. In the process of checking for topological and database
consistencies, new ID's and RARNUM's or HUNUM's are also generated. The
new ID's are a combination of atlas number, element number, and record
number. In addition, the value used to represent the element is
modified to reflect the type of feature being mapped. In the case of an
element that is normally represented by a point or polygon, a value of
20 is added to the standard element value for mapping of linear
features. In the case where an element usually mapped as a polygon is
represented by a point, a value of 30 is added to the regular element
value. The RARNUM's are also modified to include the atlas number, so
multiple atlases can be combined and RARNUM's remain unique. RARNUM's
are redefined on an element basis, so "resource at risk" groupings will
contain only a single element. HUNUM's are also modified to include the
atlas number.

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.

- Process_Description:
- The mapping
extent was dependent upon information availability and location of
mapped coastal habitats and shorelines. Three main sources of data were
used to depict bird distribution and seasonality for this data layer: 1)
personal interviews with resource experts from: Delaware Department of
Natural Resources and Environmental Control (DNREC), NJ Department of
Environmental Protection Division of Fish and Wildlife (NJDEP F&W),
NJDEP F&W Endangered and Nongame Species Program (ENSP), U.S. Fish
and Wildlife Service (USFWS), U.S. Geological Survey (USGS), and
Pennsylvania Game Commission (PGC); 2) numerous published and
unpublished reports; and 3) digital/tabular data sets provided by:
DNREC, NJDEP F&W, NJDEP ENSP, USFWS, USGS, and PGC. DE, NJ, and PA
waterfowl: Waterfowl surveys were conducted in (11 zones in DE, 29 zones
in NJ, and 2 zones in PA) from Oct.-Jan. ranging from 1980-2012
(dependent on state). In all three states, surveys provided simple
counts of all species within the survey zones. A 'wetlands and inland
water bodies' habitat class was created by selecting ESI 10A, -B, -C,
and –D within the survey zones and buffering them by 10 m before merging
them with all adjacent inland water bodies. The resulting polygons were
then edited to eliminate any gaps or isolated polygons less than 10,000
m2. The second habitat class was defined as ‘large open water bodies’.
This habitat type includes the inland bays and sounds of DE and NJ as
well as portions of the Delaware River. Concentrations were calculated
as the maximum value of summed points within a month across all years
surveyed and generalized to categorical bins of 10s, 100s, 1,000s, etc.
Survey zones were aggregated if they were geographically adjacent and
had similar maximum counts and species assemblages. Delaware Bay and
Atlantic Ocean seabirds – Two data sets were used: 1) USFWS Atlantic
Coast Wintering Sea Duck Survey (ACWSDS) and the USGS Atlantic Offshore
Seabird Dataset Catalog (AOSDC). Based on expert advice, data was first
grouped into nearshore (1 nautical mile from shore) and offshore (1-12
nm) polygons. Data was futher subdivided between DE and NJ coasts, and
between the Delaware Bay and open ocean waters. Data from the ACWSDS
were used for the majority of the ESI study area, as the data had better
coverage, replication, and consistency. The AOSDC data was only
incorporated along the Delaware River between the Delaware Memorial
Bridge and Nantuxent Point, NJ/Bombay Hook, DE. The majority of surveys
for the ACWSDS were flown from Oct.-Mar. along predetermined latitudinal
transects spaced 5 nm apart. Concentrations of seabird species for a
given region were calculated as the maximum value of summed points
within a survey period across all years surveyed. DE Element Occurrence
Data – Rare and endangered species of birds were mapped in part using
element occurrence data provided by DNREC. Polygons with diameters
greater than 100 m were mapped as is and all other polygons were mapped
after applying a polygonal buffer and a randomized geographic shift. DE
Shorebirds – DNREC provided polygonal data representing red knot
concentration areas during spring migration, beach nesting bird
locations, and impoundments. Please note that names were obscured for
all DE species that are listed DE State endangered and/or federally
threatened to generic names such as ‘endangered shorebird’. DNREC also
provided shorebird flock count data along Delaware Bay beaches. Data
from the last 10 years (2003-2013) was summarized for inclusion in the
atlas and was generalized to categorical bins of 10s, 100s, 1,000s,
etc., representing the max counts for each species within each site over
the survey period. DE Marshbirds and Passerines – DNREC provided
Delaware Breeding Bird Atlas 2008-2012 data for secretive marsh birds
and marsh-breeding passerines. In each BBA quad in which a species was
indicated as “present”, that species was mapped to all appropriate ESI
habitats. DE NWR birds – Bombay Hook and Prime Hook NWRs provided
Integrated Waterbird Management and Monitoring (IWMM) survey data,
Saltmarsh Habitat and Avian Research Program (SHARP) survey data, and
Saltmarsh Integrity (SMI) survey data. The IWMM data was limited to
discrete survey areas within each refuge. Data from 2010-2013 was
summarized for inclusion in the atlas. Concentrations were generalized
to categorical bins of 10s, 100s, 1,000s, etc., representing high counts
for each species within each IWMM site over the survey period. SHARP
and SMI surveys covered refuge habitat more broadly, so they were used
to create species lists that covered the remaining extent of these
refuges. New Jersey ENSP Shorebirds – Polygonal buffers were provided by
NJ ENSP for spring shorebird concentration areas and red knot ‘status
assessments’. NJ ENSP provided polygonal data on Colonial Waterbird
nesting areas. Colonial waterbirds utilize many habitats for breeding,
including salt marshes and salt marsh islands, barrier islands and
beaches, dredge spoil islands, and natural sand shoals, particularly
behind the barrier islands and in the major bay systems in coastal NJ.
NJ ENSP Raptors - A buffer, as specified by the data provider, was
applied to all raptor nests that were delivered to RPI as points. Raptor
nests that were delivered to RPI as polygons (buffer was applied by NJ
ENSP around nest site prior to data delivery) were portrayed ‘as is’. NJ
NWR birds – Supawna Meadows NWR provided marsh bird survey and
saltmarsh sparrow survey data. Species, including: shorebirds, wading
birds, raptors, gulls, terns, and other passerines were mapped to the
entirety of the Supawna Meadows NWR and adjacent marshes. Pea Patch
Island (DE) nesting wading birds survey data were also provided by
Supawna Meadows NWR. Data from Edwin B. Forsythe NWR were compiled with
data received from ENSP to capture the full suite and range of species
mapped within the reserve boundaries. Pennsylvania BBA birds – PGC
provided data from the 2nd Pennsylvania Breeding Bird Atlas (2ndPBBA).
The 2ndPBBA atlas contained data on all breeding birds and observance
data of non-breeding birds. Breeding bird data records categorized as
“Confirmed” or “Probable” were mapped in the appropriate habitat for
each species within the 2nd BBA quad where each species was present.
These records were listed with a nesting season in the ESI seasonality
table. Observance data of non-nesters (categorized in the dataset as
“Observed”) were mapped in the ESI atlas when coordinates were included
with the record. Nesting seasons were not included in the ESI
seasonality table for these records. Pennsylvania raptors – Peregrine
falcon (PA SE) and bald eagle (PA ST) nest locations were provided by
PGC. Nest points were mapped as is. Federally threatened (FT) and state
listed endangered (SE) or threatened (ST) or rare (not listed) bird
species for which common names were obscured in one or more states (DE
and/or NJ), due to requests from data providers within those states,
were renamed based on their federal or state listing status and ESI
subelement: e.g., ‘endangered tern’, ‘threatened shorebird’, ‘rare
passerine’, etc. The above digital and/or hardcopy sources were
compiled by the project biologist to create the BIRDS 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

CONC refers to "concentration," abundance, or density values, and may
contain counts of individuals for each species present at a particular
nesting or wintering site. The field may contain a term that describes
relative abundance of birds at a particular site (XX INDIV or 1000S). In
cases where no quantitative count data was available, the field may
either be blank or contain descriptive terms such as "ABUNDANT", "HIGH",
"COMMON", "OCCASIONAL", "RARE", "UNCOMMON", or "VERY-HIGH". If no
concentration information was available from any source, the field was
populated with "-". Counts were derived from a variety of surveys, and
may range in date (see Lineage).

- Overview_Description:
- Entity_and_Attribute_Overview:
- In
addition to the geographic data layers, six relational attribute or data
tables (BIORES, BREED, SEASONAL, SOURCES, SPECIES, and STATUS) are used
to store the complex biological data in the ESI data structure. The
geographic data layer containing biological resource information (in
this case, BIRDS) is linked to the Biological Resources table (BIORES)
using the unique ID and the lookup table BIO_LUT, or it can be linked
directly using RARNUM. The ID is a unique combination of the atlas
number (for the Delaware/New Jersey/Pennsylvania atlas, the number is
212), an element/layer specific number (BIRDS are layer 1, FISH are
layer 2, etc.), and a unique record number. The RARNUM represents a
unique combination of species, seasonalities, concentrations, and source
information. For each of these groupings, a number is generated. That
number is concatenated with the atlas number to create a "resource at
risk" number that is unique across atlases. BIORES and the other
relational data tables are described in the Detailed_Description
sections. See the Browse_Graphic section for a link to the
entity-relationship diagram, which describes the way these tables relate
to the geographic data layers and other attribute tables in the ESI
data structure. Due to the complexity of the relational database model,
the data items are also post-processed into a flat file format. This
table, called BIOFILE, may be used in place of the relational files to
ease simple data queries. The items in the flat file are ELEMENT,
SUBELEMENT, NAME, GEN_SPEC, S, F, NHP, DATE_PUB, CONC, JAN, FEB, MAR,
APR, MAY, JUN, JUL, AUG, SEP, OCT, NOV, DEC, BREED1, BREED2, BREED3,
BREED4, BREED5, RARNUM, G_SOURCE, S_SOURCE, and BREED. All of these
items are the same as their counterparts in the individual data tables
(described in the Detailed_Description sections), except the
BREED1-BREED5 and BREED items. BREED is a newly generated variable used
to link to the BREED_DT data table, a modified, more compact version of
the relational BREED data table. BREED1-BREED5 give a text summary of
when each life stage occurs within the associated map object. The life
stages referred to are the same as those listed in the
Detailed_Description of the BREED data table. The link to the BIOFILE
may be made through the BIO_LUT, using ID to link to RARNUM, or BIOFILE
may be linked directly to the RARNUM in each of the geographic layer's
attribute data tables. As mentioned, BREED_DT is an auxiliary support
data table to the flat file structure, which allows the user to do
searches based on month for seasonal breeding activities. The link from
the flat file to BREED_DT is the BREED item. A second supporting data
table is SOURCES. This is the same as the source file described above,
and the link from the flat file is both G_SOURCE and S_SOURCE. It
should be noted that although the flat file eases data query, it is not a
normalized database structure, and actual updates performed by the
states and other responsible agencies should be done using the
relational data tables. The entity-relationship diagram, describing
relationships between attribute tables in the ESI data structure, does
NOT include the BIOFILE data table, and this data table is NOT described
in a Detailed_Description section.

ESI data are processed into multiple formats to make them useful to a
wider community of GIS/mapping users. Distribution formats include ARC
export files, Shapefiles, and a file Geodatabase (the recommended
format). The database files are distributed both in the NOAA standard
relational database format (see NOAA Technical Memorandum NOS ORCA 115)
and in a simplified desktop flat file format. This metadata document
includes information on both of these database formats.
