* » Abstract |
These data identify the critical habitat designated (March 19, 2003, Federal Register Vol. 68, No. 53, Rules and Regulations) under the Endangered Species Act for the Atlantic sturgeon, Gulf subspecies (Acipenser oxyrinchus desotoi). The official NMFS critical habitat (SturgeonAtlantic_GulfSubspecies_20030319) for this sturgeon is comprised of both riverine critical habitat (line) data, Units 1 through 7, and marine/estuarine critical habitat (polygon) data, Units 8 through 14. Together the polygons and lines represent the entire final critical habitat designation.Critical habitat constitutes areas considered essential for the conservation of a listed species. These areas provide notice to the public and land managers of the importance of the areas to the conservation of this species. Special protections and/or restrictions are possible in areas where Federal funding, permits, licenses, authorizations, or actions occur or are required. The purpose of these data is to visually represent the critical habitat areas for GIS analysis and display. Omissions of river distributaries may be possible due to the extent of source data (NHD) and because a number of the smaller streams are not named and easily identifiable. Based on the legal narrative unit descriptions in the Federal Register, all distributaries are included; however, they may not be graphically represented in this dataset. |
* Purpose |
This spatial data file was modified from NMFS’s “agency-official” species critical habitat data to aid in the ESA/FIFRA section 7 pesticide consultation process. For example, existing data were adapted to incorporate associated watersheds where applicable, based on the USGS Watershed Boundary Dataset HUC-12 data (https://www.usgs.gov/national-hydrography/watershed-boundary-dataset). The modifications to the NMFS critical habitat spatial data make the data more compatible for future analyses with EPA’s Use Data Layers (UDLs). The following “Description” is from the original, “agency-official” data that was used to make this HUC-based map. Most of the metadata record for this species matches the “agency-official” record; however, NMFS added a new "Citation", "File Identifier", “Credits”, “Point of Contact”, and “Lineage Process Step” that are unique to this HUC-based critical habitat data. |

» Description |
This data set was created using ArcView 3.2a The process steps for creating the final Gulf sturgeon riverine critical habitat units were: 1. NHD arc and route.reach files were brought into the view for each basin covered by the final critical habitat. 2. Records in the route.reach files were selected by querying on the name field. Additional unnamed records (mainly distributaries) were selected within the view using the selector tool. 3. Records in the arc files were selected using the "Select by theme..." command, choosing all records that were completely within the route.reach files. The selected records were visually checked to ensure that only river centerlines were included. 4. Using the X-Tools extension "merge themes" command, all selected records from the NHD arc files were combined into the stg_ch_final.shp file. 5. Distributaries that were not included in the NHD arc files but were included in the Federal Register maps or DeLorme state gazetteers were added to the shapefile with on-screen digitizing. 6. Using the narrative unit descriptions from the Federal Register, some arcs were spilt and parts were removed. This only occurred in units where the highest river reach included stopped at a road crossing. The roads layer used to determine this stopping point is from the ESRI Sample Data and Maps, CD Volume 5, Southern U.S., August 1999. |

As described above, this species’ HUC-based critical habitat dataset was modified from the line- and polygon-based species “agency-official” NMFS critical habitat data. This HUC-based critical habitat file represents the HUC-12 watersheds (USGS Watershed Boundary Dataset; https://www.usgs.gov/national-hydrography/watershed-boundary-dataset) that intersect with the “agency-official” critical habitat line-based and polygon-based data. The data were reviewed and revised to add any additional HUC-12 watersheds that were determined to have hydrologic connectivity to the critical habitat. |
