- Description:
- Abstract:
- This data set contains
sensitive biological resource data for terrestrial, marine, and
estuarine invertebrate species in Delaware/New Jersey/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.
- 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.

- 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. 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. The above digital and/or hardcopy
sources were compiled by the project biologist to create the INVERT
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 INVERT data layer are made based on the recommendations of the
resource experts, and final hardcopy maps and digital data are created.

- The field
CONC refers to "concentration," abundance, or density values, and may
contain counts of a species at a particular location. Calculations of
horseshoe crab females per square meter (m2) were used to assign
concentrations of "LOW", "MED", and "HIGH" for spawning beaches in
Delaware Bay, and edited based on expert review. Concentrations of
horseshoe crabs in Delaware Bay proper were designated as "HIGH" after
review by DNREC staff. Blue crab concentrations were assigned based on
recommendations by DNREC staff in the Delaware Bay and River.
Concentrations of surfclams were designated as "COMMON", "UNCOMMON", and
"RARE" based on the average CPUE from inventory surveys, but current
stocks remain far below historic levels. Concentrations for eastern
oyster in NJ waters were adapted as "HIGH REEF" and "MED REEF", based on
qualitative data. Other descriptive terms such as "ABUNDANT", "COMMON",
"HIGHLY-ABUNDANT", "PRESENT", "RARE" or "UNCOMMON" were used. If no
concentration information was available from any source, the field was
populated with "-".

- 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, INVERT) 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.
