Abstract: A Significant Vernal Pool (SVP) is defined as a Significant
Wildlife Habitat under Maine’s Natural Resources Protection Act (NRPA). This
act designates the Maine Department of Inland Fisheries and Wildlife (MDIFW) as
the authority responsible for mapping and rating these habitats. This GIS
dataset includes the center points of all vernal pools submitted for status
review: significant and non-significant vernal pools (regulatory and
non-regulatory respectively). These vernal pools were mapped and surveyed
in the field by wetland consultants, Maine Department of Environmental
Protection staff and Maine Department of Inland Fisheries and Wildlife
biologists.
Please refer to the Maine Department of Environmental
Protection's website for more information on Significant
Wildlife Habitat: Significant Vernal Pool Habitat

Purpose: This dataset represents CANDIDATE Significant Vernal Pools (SVPs). Each observation represents the center of the vernal pool and includes all vernal pools: significant and non-significant vernal pools (regulatory and non-regulatory)
