Theme keywords: environment, biota, tidal, coastal, National Wetlands Inventory, natural resource protection act, significant wildlife habitat, tidal waterfowl habitat, tidal wading bird habitat

Abstract: TWWH contains Tidal Waterfowl and Wading Bird Habitat (TWWH) polygons rated as HIGH or MODERATE value. Polygons were mapped by MDIFW regional staff using statewide digital NWI (National Wetlands Inventory) data, CMGE (Coastal Marine Geologic Environments) data, eelgrass beds as mapped by Maine's Department of Marine Resources, and aerial imagery. Boundaries between adjacent polygons have been dissolved and did not retain habitat type details, nor its value rating. This layer is a preliminary outline of tidal habitat that meets the definition of the Natural Resources Protection Act (NRPA) and should be used until a more detailed map is completed.

Metadata elements shown with blue text are defined in the Federal Geographic Data Committee's (FGDC) Content Standard for Digital Geospatial Metadata (CSDGM). Elements shown with green text are defined in the ESRI Profile of the CSDGM. Elements shown with a green asterisk (*) will be automatically updated by ArcCatalog. ArcCatalog adds hints indicating which FGDC elements are mandatory; these are shown with gray text.

Description:

Abstract: fix(original): TWWH contains Tidal Waterfowl and Wading Bird Habitat (TWWH) polygons rated as HIGH or MODERATE value. Polygons were mapped by MDIFW regional staff using statewide digital NWI (National Wetlands Inventory) data, CMGE (Coastal Marine Geologic Environments) data, eelgrass beds as mapped by Maine's Department of Marine Resources, and aerial imagery. Boundaries between adjacent polygons have been dissolved and did not retain habitat type details, nor its value rating. This layer is a preliminary outline of tidal habitat that meets the definition of the Natural Resources Protection Act (NRPA) and should be used until a more detailed map is completed.
Purpose: fix(original): These TWWH are all CANDIDATE Significant Wildlife Habitats. Each polygon must be field-verified to determine whether it meets the definition under the NRPA.
Supplemental information: fix(original): Habitat type and size limits used to assess TWWHs include: all mussel beds or mussel bars, emergant wetlands greater than 2.5 acres in size, eelgress aquatic beds greater than 2.5 acres in size, and mudflats greater than 12.5 acres in size or smaller if it lies within 100 ft of any of the above polygons. Not all ratings have been field verified.

Data Quality Information:

Logical consistency report: fix(original)

Polygons adjacent to each other in this layer were dissolved into one feature, so there may be many features from the MDIFW twwh layer that correspond to one feature of this layer, but not vice versa.

Completeness report: fix(original)

The dataset is complete, however it is a temporary layer until a detailed TWWH layer is completed.

Positional accuracy:

Horizontal positional accuracy:

Horizontal positional accuracy report: fix(original)

Approximate horizontal accuracy is 12 meters plus or minus 40 feet or better, assuming source data meets National Map Accuracy Standards.

Quantitative horizontal positional accuracy assessment:

Horizontal positional accuracy value: 12
Horizontal positional accuracy explanation: fix(original): Data was derived from digital data that meets or exceeds National Map Accuracy Standards for 1:24,000 scale.

Overview description:

Entity and attribute detail citation: fix(original): The ArcInfo coverage, ArcView shapefile, ArcGIS geodatabase formats, commonly used for Maine GIS data, carry default identifiers and attributes that are software generated and/or important for internal recordkeeping. These are listed here to avoid repetition for every layer, and may not be repeated in the attribute descriptions and definitions of each layer. Common software generated identifiers and attributes in Maine GIS data include: <title>#, <title>-ID, <title>_, <title>_ID, FID (feature identifier), Shape (feature geometry), OBJECTID. Other default attributes, that may be present, refer to the topological relationships between features, for example RIGHTPOLY or R_POLY, LEFTPOLY or L_POLY, FROMNODE or F_NODE, TONODE or T_NODE. In addition, most GIS formats will carry fields for PERIMETER, AREA and/or LENGTH according to feature geometry. These fields are typically available by default, with the units based on coordinate system or projection units of GIS data. (Units are meters for Maine GIS data.) Most GIS software packages also provide a means to calculate these values. It is important to test any columns containing PERIMETER, AREA or LENGTH values before using them for analysis purposes. These important values can be carried from format to format and become out-dated. Verify that the values are correct. Also, in your GIS software, please view the properties of data layers for the map units used to calculate these fields, and for the units set for display purposes.

Format version number: ARC Version 9.x
Format specification: fix(original): ArcView Shapefile Format
Format information content: fix(original): 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.
