Description: Critical habitat are areas considered essential for the conservation of a listed species. These areas provide notice to the public and land managers the importance of these areas to the conservation of this species. Special protections and/or restrictions are possible in areas where federal funding, permits, licenses, authorizations, or actions occur or are required. The GIS files and their associated coordinates are not the legal source for determining the critical habitat boundaries of species described within this dataset. Inherent in any data set used to develop graphical representations, are limitations of accuracy as determined by, among others, the source, scale and resolution of the data. While the Service makes every effort to represent the critical habitat shown with this data as completely and accurately as possible (given existing time and resource constraints), the USFWS gives no warranty, expressed or implied, as to the accuracy, reliability, or completeness of these data. In addition, the USFWS shall not be held liable for improper or incorrect use of the data described and/or contained herein. Graphical representations provided by the use of this data do not represent a legal description of the critical habitat boundary. The user is referred to the critical habitat textual description in the appropriate final rule for this species as published in the Federal Register. These data are to be used only in the context of the definition and purpose of critical habitat. This primarily relates to Section 7 consultation under the Endangered Species Act. These data may be used for planning and land management purposes. They are not to be used for legal survey use.Consult the website at http://ecos.fws.gov/crithab/ for the most up to date information. Essential Fish Habitat: The Magnuson-Stevens Fishery Conservation and Management Act requires that regional management councils describe "essential fish habitat" in their fishery management plans; that Councils minimize impacts on this essential habitat from fishing activities; and that Councils and other federal agencies consult with the National Marine Fisheries Service about activities that might harm EFH. Actions that occur outside of EFH, but that might affect the habitat, must also be taken into account. The final rule of "Fisheries Off West Coast States; West Coast Salmon Fisheries; Amendment 18 to the Salmon Fishery Management Plan" was published in the Federal Register / Vol. 79, No. 243/ Thursday, December 18, 2014. Geospatial data was based on information in that document in Table 1 to Part 660, Subpart H - Pacific Salmon EFH Identified by USGS Hydrologic Unit Code (HUC). It pertains to Chinook, coho, and pink salmon. This data is the geospatial representation of the final rule.

Copyright Text: USFWS, Idaho Field Office and http://ecos.fws.gov/ecp/report/table/critical-habitat.html. Essential Fish Habitat was compiled by NOAA Fisheries West Coast Region. Barb Seekins and Charleen Gavette developed the geospatial data with guidance by Dr. John Stadler, Kerry Griffin, and Eric Chavez as well as multiple NOAA Fisheries staff.
