This data set contains sensitive biological resource data for federally and/or state endangered and threatened plants, rare state plants, and sensitive ecological communities in North Carolina. Vector polygons (HABITAT POLYS) and points (HABITAT POINTS) in this data set represent federally and/or state endangered and threatened plant, rare state plant, and sensitive ecological community occurrences.

This data set contains sensitive biological resource data for sea turtles, northern diamondback terrapins, and other federally and/or state endangered, threatened, or rare reptiles and amphibians. Vector polygons in this data set represent federally and state protected reptile and amphibian nesting areas and distributions. 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.

This data set contains vector polygons depicting locations for wildlife refuges, military areas, State Protected Areas, parks (regional or State), National Parks, National Landmarks, National Estuarine Research Reserves, Nature Conservancy areas, management areas, and National Forests in North Carolina, as well as vector points representing human-use resource data for National Guard and National Landmark locations in North Carolina.

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.

This data set contains sensitive biological resource data for horses and federally and/or state endangered, threatened, or rare small mammals. Vector polygons in this dataset represent vulnerable occurrences and general distribution. 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.

This data set contains sensitive biological resource data for wading birds, shorebirds, waterfowl, raptors, diving birds, pelagic birds, and gulls/terns in Northwest Arctic, Alaska. Vector polygons in this data set represent locations of bird nesting, migratory staging, molting, 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 contains vector lines and polygons representing the shoreline and coastal habitats of Northwest Arctic, Alaska classified according to the Environmental Sensitivity Index (ESI) classification system. This data set comprises a portion of the ESI for Northwest Arctic, Alaska. 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.

This data set contains sensitive biological resource data for marine, estuarine, freshwater, and anadromous fish species in Northwest Arctic, Alaska. Vector polygons in this data set represent fish distribution. 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 contains sensitive biological resource data for submerged aquatic vegetation (SAV) in Northwest Arctic, Alaska. Vector polygons in this data set represent habitat distribution. 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 Environmental Sensitivity Index (ESI) data for Northwest Arctic, Alaska.

This data set contains vector arcs and polygons representing coastal hydrography used in the creation of the Environmental Sensitivity Index (ESI) for Northwest Arctic, Alaska. The HYDRO data layer contains all annotation used in producing the atlas. The annotation features are categorized into three subclasses in order to simplify the mapping and quality control procedures: GEOG or geographic features, SOC or socioeconomic features, and HYDRO or water features. This data set comprises a portion of the ESI for Northwest Arctic, Alaska.
