- Description:
- Abstract:
- This data set contains
sensitive biological resource data for terrestrial and wetland plants
and sensitive plant communities in Delaware/New Jersey/Pennsylvania.
Vector polygons in this data set represent rare and endangered plant and
plant community distributions. 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 BENTHIC data layer, part of the
larger Delaware/New Jersey/Pennsylvania ESI database, for additional
habitat 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.

- 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.

- Positional_Accuracy:
- Horizontal_Positional_Accuracy:
- Horizontal_Positional_Accuracy_Report:
- 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.

- Process_Description:
- The mapping
extent was dependent upon information availability and location of
mapped coastal habitats and shorelines. Two main sources of data were
used to depict habitat 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 (NJDEP) Division of Parks and Forestry Office
of Natural Lands Management, United States Fish & Wildlife Service
(USFWS); and 2) digital data sets provided by DNREC and NJDEP. New
Jersey Rare and Endangered Species Element Occurrence Data NJDEP -
Office of Natural Lands Management, NJ Natural Heritage Program provided
guidance and links to a publicly available 2009 shapefile. The
shapefile includes a list of rare plant occurrences in an approximately
365 acre grid cell. The data are freely downloadable and contains
generalized geographic locations (in the form of a grid-based polygon
shapefile) of rare plant species and ecological communities for the
entire state. By default, the data masks highly sensitive species and
community names. In addition, a shapefile of NJ ‘Priority Sites’
(polygonal shapes based on habitat instead of grids) was downloaded and
analyzed to include rare/sensitive plants and communities that were not
covered in the 2009 grid-based data. Ninety-four unique NJ state
endangered plants fell within the Area of Interest (AOI). In order to
simplify the tabular ESI data, the individual species names were all
mapped and listed in the ESI tables as ‘endangered plant’. In addition,
occurrence records for four federally threatened plants fell within the
NJ AOI: 1) Knieskern’s beaked rush (FT, NJ SE); 2) seabeach amaranth
(FT, NJ SE); 3) sensitive joint-vetch (FT, NJ SE); and 4) swamp-pink
(FT, NJ SE). As a result of the data being publically available, exact
locations of these species were already obscured by the data provider.
Therefore, it was appropriate to map these species by name in the ESI in
order for federally listed species to be given a high priority for
protection. Delaware Rare and Endangered Species Element Occurrence Data
– Rare and federally threatened plants in Delaware were mapped in part
by using element occurrence data provided by DNREC. The names of two
federally threatened species as well as a number of other Delaware
‘rare’ plants were obscured as per the request of the data provider.
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. Additionally, some rare plant communities
were added as polygonal features based on separate digital data sets
provided by DNREC, including ‘acidic fens’ and select ‘unique plant
communities’. The above digital and/or hardcopy sources were compiled
by the project biologist to create the HABITATS 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 HABITATS data layer are
made based on the recommendations of the resource experts, and final
hardcopy maps and digital data are created.

- 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, HABITATS) 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 detail. 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, 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 detail.

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.
