Abstract:
This dataset was developed in accordance with Maine's Natural Resources Protection Act (NRPA). Under this Act, the Maine Department of Inland Fisheries and Wildlife (MDIFW) is designated as the authority for determining Significant Wildlife Habitats (SWHs). This data layer specifically addresses migratory shorebird
coastal staging areas. Staging habitat is defined as areas that meet shorebird
feeding and roosting requirements during migration.
Extensive field surveys began in 1993 to identify, map, and
document use of feeding and roosting areas for shorebirds. Area boundaries
have been modified by the Maine DEP to align with the state 1:24,000 coastline.
Areas have been modified by Maine Department of Inland Fisheries &
Wildlife to include 100 ft. and 250 ft. disturbance protection zones around
feeding and roosting sites, respectively, and to better align habitat
boundaries with natural features based on high resolution, low tide imagery
from Maine DMR. Areas of extensive development were clipped from the 250 ft.
disturbance protection zones around roosting areas.
-
Purpose: Shorebird feeding and roosting areas that qualify as Significant Wildlife Habitat under Maine's Natural Resources Protection Act as mapped by the Maine Department of Inland Fisheries and Wildlife.
