Data Attributes

Note: Metadata requirements do not apply to attributes for non-tabular entities.

Attribute Summary

	Name	Type	Description
N/A	sci_name	Unknown	Scientific name of the species
N/A	BIA_months	Unknown	Specific months as numbers that this BIA is considered active. This field is used in the online BIA mapper for user selection criteria, and can also be useful for GIS selection criteria to display BIAs for specific months.

N/A	FID	Unknown	Internal feature number.
N/A	cmn_name	Unknown	Common name of the species
N/A	BIA_time	Unknown	Time period for which this BIA is considered active.
N/A	BIA_name	Unknown	Identifying name of this Biologically Important Area
N/A	BIA_size	Unknown	Area, in square kilometers, of this BIA.
N/A	BIA_type	Unknown	Type of Biologically Important Area, can be one of Reproductive, Feeding, Migratory Corridor, or Small and Resident Population.
N/A	BIA_ID	Unknown	Unique identifier for each Biologically Important Area across all seven regions in US waters.
N/A	Shape	Unknown	Feature geometry.
N/A	migr_dir	Unknown	General description of what direction the animals are migrating, if this is a migratory corridor BIA.
N/A	region	Unknown	The region (one of seven regional divisions in US waters that reflect Large Marine Ecosystem delineations [Sherman & Alexander, 1986]) this BIA belongs to.
N/A	OBJECTID	Unknown	Internal feature number.
