Description:
Abstract:
EAGLEEH contains bald eagle nest sites in Maine mapped as Essential Habitat by the Maine Department of Inland Fisheries and Wildlife (MDIFW). The dataset contains attributes for site reference, MDIFW region codes, town(s), US Geological Survey 7.5 minute quadrangle long-names.
Purpose:
PLEASE READ! Essential Wildlife Habitats are areas currently or historically providing physical or biological features essential to the conservation of an endangered or threatened species in Maine and which may require special management considerations. As required under the Maine Endangered Species Act, a state agency or municipal government shall not permit, license, fund or carry out projects that will significantly alter an Essential Habitat or violate protection guidelines adopted for the habitat. Landowners, project planners, municipalities or state agencies considering a project in or near an Essential Habitat should immediately contact an MDIFW Regional Wildlife Biologist for assistance.
Essential Wildlife Habitat pertains only to definitions under Maine's endangered species laws (12 MRSA, Chapter 713, Subchapter V, Sections 7754 and 7755-A) and regulations (MDIFW Rules, Chapter 8.05). Information about and mapped locations of other endangered and threatened species habitats, Significant Wildlife Habitat (38 MRSA, Chapter 3, Subchapter 1, Section 480-B), rare plants and natural communities, or other important natural resources are not included. For comprehensive information about these resources, please contact the following agencies:

Attribute Accuracy:
Attribute Accuracy Report:
This information is updated and checked for quality purposes on a regular basis. Attributes may change as additional data become available. Landowners, project planners, municipalities or state agencies considering a project in or near an Essential Habitat should immediately contact an MDIFW Regional Wildlife Biologist for assistance.
Logical Consistency Report:
All boundaries are shown as a solid circular line and the inside of the line is the edge of the boundary. Each circle represents an area of approximately 126 acres and has a radius of approximately 1320 feet and a center located approximately on the nest. The coverage contains no LABELERRORS, NODEERRORS. The spatial topology is CLEAN and free of errors. The dataset meets "Data Standards for Maine Geographic Information Systems" (June 2002). In coverage format REGIONS must be used to preserve the spatial and attribute relationships with site features.

Overview Description:
Entity and Attribute Overview:
EAGLEEH contains nest sites identified and mapped as Essential Habitat. Sites must be within a nesting area occupied in at least one of the three most recent years, and have either a nest that has existed for two consecutive years, or the only existing nest in that nesting area. All boundaries are shown as a solid circular line and the inside of the line is the edge of the boundary. Each circle has a radius of approximately 1320 feet and a center located approximately on the nest. The area within each circle is approximately 126 acres. This coverage contains data for 559 nest locations.

Format Version Number: ARC Version 9.x
Format Specification: ArcView Shapefile Format
Format Information Content:
MEGIS has made all vector layers, in the Maine GIS Internet Data Catalog, available in ESRI's ArcView shapefile format. A shapefile is a simple non-topological format that stores the geometry and attribute information for a set of geographic features as a set of vector (point, line, polygon) coordinates. Shapefiles draw quickly and directly in ArcView, ArcGIS, ArcExplorer. Shapefiles are a compatible data type for many other types of GIS software. Three files are fundamental to each shapefile: .shp stores the feature geometry (shape and location information); .shx stores the index of the feature geometry; .dbf a dBASE (TM) file stores the attribute information for the features. Other index files may be created to help speed analysis and query: these file formats are .sbn .sbx .ain .aix .fbn and .fbx. In addition you may find projection .prj, and metadata .xml, files associated with shapefiles.
