| * » Abstract |
Critical habitat in the Caribbean Sea area includes the waters adjacent to Sandy Point, St. Croix from the 100 fathom curve shoreward to the level of mean high tide.Critical habitat in the Pacific Ocean areas includes marine waters to a depth of 80 meters from the ocean surface and is delineated along the shoreline at the line of extreme low water, except in the case of estuaries and bays where COLREGS lines (defined at 33 CFR part 80) are used as the shoreward boundary. The seaward boundary of the nearshore Washington/Oregon area (from Cape Flattery south to Cape Blanco) is defined along the 2,000 meter isobath. The seaward boundary of the nearshore California area (from Point Arena south to Point Arguello) is defined along the 3,000 meter isobath. |
| * Purpose |
These data represent critical habitat designated (March 23, 1979, 44 FR 17710) and revised (January 26, 2012, 77 FR 4170) under the Endangered Species Act for the leatherback sea turtle. |

Detailed shoreline for St. Croix from NOAA digital vector chart was created, then the 100 fathom curve was created by conducting heads-up digitizing of the contour from NOAA chart 25641_1 using ESRI's ArcGIS software. The accuracy of this data set is dependent upon the accuracy of the shoreline and bathymetric data used in the creation process. |

Merged 2 datasets. During standardization, geometry was not edited for the Caribbean Sea polygon. Geometry was edited for the Pacific Ocean polygons. Attributes were edited. Metadata was edited and populated using the final rule/CFR and the sources: SeaTurtleLeatherback_19790323 (GCS_WGS_84 wkid 4326) and Final_LeatherbackCH.shp (NAD_1983_California_Teale_Albers). Geoprocessing steps: - Projected 2012 Pacific Ocean version Final_LeatherbackCH.shp (NAD_1983_California_Teale_Albers) to WGS84. - Exploded multipart polygon to populate separate attributes for WA/OR polygon and CA polygon. - Deleted 2 very tiny polygons that appeared after explosion, only 2 large polygons remained. - Merged with Caribbean Sea polygon (SeaTurtleLeatherback_19790323) to create the standardized feature class SeaTurtleLeatherback_20120126 (GCS_WGS_84 wkid 4326) using the National Critical Habitat Geodatabase processing protocol. - Migrated fields: none - Dropped fields: FID, NAME, SHAPE_Leng, SHAPE_Area - Caribbean Sea feature class deprecated (SeaTurtleLeatherback_19790323_archived). **Data history - for reference** See final rule map Figure 1 - Geographical Areas Occupied by the species (January 26, 2012, 77 FR 4188). The CFR text describes areas 1 and 7, but the CFR map does not show those boundaries. CFR text (i) matches area 1, (ii) matches area 7. CFR map shows areas 1 and 7 combined into a single polygon (i.e., the 200 meter isobath no longer existed, only the 3,000 meter isobath existed). |
