Monarch Butterfly US Conservation Units

This data layer was created to delineate the approximate boundaries of areas important to monarch butterfly populations across the contiguous United States. These boundaries were created as part of a species status assessment (SSA) done by the US Fish and Wildlife Service. Different monarch populations, or different portions a population's range, may have different conservation needs. These ranges will be used to distinguish and prioritize needs across the range of monarch butterflies. The intended display scale for this file is 1:500,000. The boundary information is for visual display at appropriate small scales only. Cartographic boundary files should not be used for geographic analysis including area or perimeter calculation. Files should not be used for determining precise geographic area relationships.
ABFS - All turbid water frequency

This dataset depicts the extent and frequency of turbid water in the Atchafalaya Basin Floodway System (ABFS). The analysis used 28 Landsat images (1984-2008) classified into categories of turbid and non-turbid water. Each pixel value represents the number times each pixel was classified as turbid in that stack of 28 images. Methodologies for this classification are available in Allen et al. (2008) and Allen (2016). The Atchafalaya Basin is a resource that must be managed on a system-wide basis to ensure this invaluable national resource is protected and restored. It is recognized that better tools must be developed for managing the Basin and that data evaluation is necessary to ensure sound decision-making. The natural resource inventory and assessment system (NRIAS) that was approved and funded in the FY 2010 Louisiana Department of Natural Resources Atchafalaya Basin Program Annual Plan and served as the primary tool for decision making in the Basin. The system provided a means for scientists to access relevant project data for the Basin and to request and fund data acquisition, monitoring, and data analysis to be used in project planning. This will be critical in providing information necessary for the development and approval of specific projects to be included for construction in future Annual Plans, projects that meet the needs of Louisiana citizens and protect our our natural resources. This and related datasets were created to demonstrate the patterns of inundation, turbid water and floating aquatic vegetation in the Atchafalaya Basin Floodway System at various river levels of the Atchafalaya River.

FWS R1 FA Columbia River Fisheries Program Office Dams on Lamprey Distribution

This feature layer is a spatial representation of selected dams in the StreamNet database associated with streams from the Pacific lamprey distribution layer. Information about the location of each dam was collected from StreamNet personnel at WDFW (Washington Dept of Fish & Wildlife), ODFW (Oregon Dept of Fish & Wildlife), IDFG (Idaho Dept of Fish & Game), and the tabular information about each dam in the StreamNet database was then added to each dam point in the GIS layer. The Pacific Lamprey Conservation Initiative (PLCI) is a collaboration of Native American tribes, federal, state, municipal and local agencies, and non-governmental organizations working to achieve long-term persistence of Pacific Lamprey, their habitats, and support their traditional tribal use throughout their historical range spanning the West Coast of North America. The intent of the partnership is to achieve this goal, where ecologically and economically feasible, by maintaining viable populations and habitats in areas where Pacific Lamprey exist currently, restoring where they are at risk of extirpation or are extirpated, and doing so in a manner that addresses the importance of lamprey to tribal peoples. PLCI envisions a future where threats to Pacific Lamprey and their habitats are reduced, and the historic geographic range and ecological role of Pacific Lamprey are restored to the greatest extent possible.

Migration Examples from the Eastern Woodcock Migration Research Cooperative

This feature service is for a web map that includes stopover locations from several migrating woodcock, collected as GPS point data by the Eastern Woodcock Migration Research Cooperative. Each layer shows the total points transmitted by a single migrating bird, and layer names indicates the state where the individual was initially captured and outfitted with a transmitter. This StoryMap describes how decades of Wildlife Restoration funding helped study, monitor and manage woodcock across all parts of its range. It was developed for the USFWS Wildlife and Sport Fish Restoration Program's "Partner with a Payer" initiative using spatial data from the [Eastern Woodcock Migration Research Cooperative] and the [Michigan Department of Natural Resources]. The story covers population surveys, migration tracking, habitat restoration, and other aspects of woodcock research and management conducted with Wildlife Restoration funding.
No Spray Zones Florida

Various sources were used to create this layer. In the latest iteration, the layers NoSprayZones_Point, NoSprayZones_Line, and No_Spray_Poly were used to create one polygon version. The NoSprayZones_Point layer consisted of point locations for wood stork colonies from 2010 - 2019, this layer was buffered 1500 feet. This distance is identified as the Primary zone in an Army Corps of Engineers guidance document (Habitat Management Guidelines for the Wood Stork in the Southeast Region) and is also referenced in the Wood Stork Effect Determination Key (USFWS, 2010). The NoSprayZones_Line layer consisted of critical habitat line features (streams) for freshwater mussels, Gulf sturgeon, and nesting loggerhead sea turtles. Freshwater mussel and Gulf sturgeon line features were buffered 500 feet. Loggerhead sea turtle line features were not included because this species also has features in the critical habitat polygon layer that cover the same areas. The No_Spray_Poly layer was created from several sources the main one being critical habitat polygon features. Other layers include 23 listed plants (created from Florida Natural Areas Inventory element occurrences), Florida grasshopper sites, sensitive areas for invertebrates in South Florida, and sensitive areas for wood storks and flatwood salamanders in Northwest Florida. In addition, a layer of areas that are part of the National Wildlife Refuge System was included.
