GL_LAKE_ERIE_2022 ESI FISH Polygons, Points

Description

These feature classes reside within the BIOLOGY Feature Data Set of the Lake Erie - 2022 ESI Geodatabase. It contains vector polygons and points representing FISH data for Lake Erie. The study area includes the United States portion of Lake Erie, covering the coastal portions of Ohio, Pennsylvania, and New York from the Michigan/Ohio border to the west to the New York/Canada border to the east. These data sets contain sensitive biological resource data for freshwater fish species in Lake Erie. Vector polygons in this data set represent fish distribution, concentration areas, and spawning areas. Vector points in this data set represent fish spawning areas. Species-specific abundance, seasonality, status, life history, and source information are stored in associated data tables (described in Entity Attribute Overview below) designed to be used in conjunction with this spatial data layer. This data set is a portion of the ESI data for Lake Erie. 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.
