NY/NJ Metro Area, Hudson River, and South Long Island 2016 FISH Polygons

This data set contains sensitive biological resource data for marine, estuarine, anadromous, and freshwater fish species in the New York/New Jersey Metro Area, Hudson River, and South Long Island region. Vector polygons in this data set represent fish distributions, spawning and nursery areas, concentration areas, migration areas, anadromous fish runs, and harvest 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 the the NY/NJ Metro Area, Hudson River, and South Long Island region. 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.
