- Description:
- Abstract:
- This data set contains sensitive biological resource
data for wading birds, shorebirds, waterfowl, raptors, diving birds,
seabirds, passerine birds, and gulls and terns in North Carolina. 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 North
Carolina. 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 North Carolina 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.

- Use_Constraints:
- DO NOT USE MAPS FOR NAVIGATIONAL PURPOSES. Besides the
above warning, 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. A final review is made by the GIS
manager, where the data are written to CD/DVD and the metadata are
written. 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.
- Completeness_Report:
- These data represent a synthesis of expert
knowledge, available hardcopy documents, survey data, maps, and digital
data on bird nesting, wintering, migratory staging and other
spatial/temporal concentration areas. See also the NESTS data layer, part
of the larger North Carolina ESI database, for additional bird
information. These data do not necessarily represent all bird occurrences

- 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 1:24,000. 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_Step:
- Process_Description:
- Three main sources of data were used to depict
bird distribution and seasonality for this data layer: 1) personal
interviews with resource experts from Audubon North Carolina, U.S.
Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS), North Carolina Wildlife Resources
Commission (NCWRC), National Park Service (NPS) Cape Hatteras and Cape
Lookout National Seashores, and North Carolina Natural Heritage
Program, 2) geospatial and tabular survey data provided by NCWRC, NPS,
and USFWS, and 3) numerous published and unpublished reports. 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 1:24,000
topographic quadrangles and digitized; 2) hardcopy maps are digitized
at their source scale; and/or 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 compiled ESI, biology, and human-use data are
plotted onto hardcopy draft maps. Following the delivery of draft maps
to the participating resource experts, a second set of interviews are
conducted to review the maps. If necessary, edits to the BIRDS data
layer are made based on the recommendations of the resource experts,
and final hardcopy maps and digital data are created.

nests (XX-XX BIRDS or PAIRS or NESTS). In cases where no quantitative
count information was available, the field may contain descriptive
terms such as "HIGH" or "LOW", or a concentration approximation, such
as "100s". 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), but were
mostly conducted from 2001-2009.

- 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 North Carolina atlas, the
number is 235), 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
described below 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.

- Custom_Order_Process:
- Contact NOAA for distribution options (see
Distributor). ESI data are processed into multiple formats to make them
useful to the widest community of GIS/mapping users. Distribution formats
include Geodatabase; ARC export, MOSS, and Shape files; and MARPLOT map
folders. An ArcMap .mxd file, an ArcView 3.x ESI project, and an
ESI_Viewer product for use with the MARPLOT data are also included on the
distribution CDs/DVDs for ease of use of the ESI data. 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.
