North Carolina 2016 ESI M_MAMMAL (Marine Mammal Polygons)

Data provided by  National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration

This data set contains sensitive biological resource data for whales, dolphins, pinnipeds, and manatees in North Carolina. Vector polygons (MARINE MAMMAL POLYS) in this data set represent migration, calving areas, general distribution, and seal haul out areas. Species-specific abundance, seasonality, status, life history, and source information are stored in associated data tables (described below) designed to be used in conjunction with this spatial data layer. This data set is a portion of the ESI data for North Carolina. As a whole, the ESI data characterize the marine and coastal environments and wildlife by their sensitivity to spilled oil, and include information for three main components: shoreline habitats, sensitive biological resources, and human-use resources.
