Maine and New Hampshire 2016 HABITAT Polygons

Description

This data set contains sensitive biological resource data for rare plant species and sensitive habitat areas in Maine and New Hampshire. Vector polygons in this data set include rare plant species and communities from the Maine Natural Areas Program and fringe marsh habitat from the Maine Department of Inland Fisheries and Wildlife (MDIFW). 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 Maine and New Hampshire. 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.
