style='text-align:Left;'>Polygon layer should be used in conjunction with the layer "ATLAS NFMS Critical Habitat (lines)". This layer was created for use in NCDOT's ATLAS.The spatial data represent critical habitat locations in North Carolina; however, the complete description and official boundaries of critical habitat proposed or designated by NMFS are provided in proposed rules, final rules, and the Code of Federal Regulations (50 CFR 226). This data is current as of April 2022, downloaded March 2024. Please check the NOAA fisheries website for the latest information. https://noaa.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=b184635835e34f4d904c6fb741cfb00d Official critical habitat boundaries may include regulatory text that modifies or clarifies maps and spatial data. Proposed rules, final rules, and the CFR also describe any areas that are excluded from critical habitat or otherwise not part of critical habitat (e.g., ineligible areas), some of which have not been clipped out of the spatial data.Datasets developed under Project ATLAS do not replace any NRTR work for future projects and may not be used as a replacement for site visits / field surveys by licensed professionals and hence should be used only as a supporting platform for decision making. Use of this dataset for project scoping or screening is merely pre-decisional.Contact information: EAU, Mitigation & Modeling<a href='mailto:cetalavera@ncdot.gov' target='_blank' rel='nofollow ugc noopener noreferrer'>atlas@ncdot.gov</a>First Published: March 13, 2024</div> The layer contains the latest available version (20220404, downloaded 20240303) of all polygon data for proposed and designated critical habitat as downloaded from NOAA Fisheries Southeast Region, clipped to North Carolina.

Using ESRI's ArcGIS ArcMap software and Spatial Analyst extension, ran the 'Surface Analysis' tool, 'Contour'. Set contour interval to 30 (CRM is in tenths of meters). The contour line was a bit blocky, so smoothed using ET GeoWizard (3rd party software) to smooth the contour using Bezier Curve smoothing algorithm with default settings (5 for smoothness) for the Caribbean and 10 for smoothing setting for Florida, and then cleaned. Converted the polyline to a polygon. Deleted very small polygons/ or polys for depths +/- 1m. 2007-10-30T00:00:00 Amanda Frick NOAA-National Marine Fisheries Service GIS Coordinator 727-824-5301 727-824-5320 263 13th Ave S St Petersburg FL 33701-5505 US Amanda.Frick@noaa.gov Monday - Friday, 9:00am - 5:30pm National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS), National Geodetic Data Center (NGDC), National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), Department of Commerce The process of creating an outer boundary using the gridded bathymetry data produced polygons with very dense veritices. ET GeoWizards (3rd party software) was used to generalize the polygons, using the Douglas-Poiker algorithm. A generalize tolerance of .00001 arc seconds was assigned. 2008-09-01T00:00:00 Amanda Frick NOAA-National Marine Fisheries Service GIS Coordinator 727-824-5301 727-824-5320 263 13th Ave S St Petersburg FL 33701-5505 US Amanda.Frick@noaa.gov Monday - Friday, 9:00am - 5:30pm Used detailed shoreline for Puerto Rico and the Virgin Islands from NOAA National Centers for Coastal Ocean Science (NCCOS), by selecting 'Land' and 'mangrove' polygons. Used NOAA medium resolution vector shoreline for Florida to create land polygon. Erased the bathymetry polygons with the land/mangrove polygons . For Florida shoreline, or shoreward side of the critical habitat polygon, used Florida Fish & Wildlife Commission (FWC) for nearshore bathymetry (digitized from NOAA nautical charts) for the 6 ft depth to Government Cut, FWC 1:24,000 scale shoreline, COLREG lines, and intercouncil boundary between South Atlantic and Gulf of Mexico Fishery Management Councils at the mouths of bays and inlets, and information from the U.S. Navy for exclusions. The polygon that included to the 30 meter contour was erased with the appropriate data for the shoreward side. 2008-10-01T00:00:00 Amanda Frick NOAA-National Marine Fisheries Service GIS Coordinator 727-824-5301 727-824-5320 263 13th Ave S St Petersburg FL 33701-5505 US Amanda.Frick@noaa.gov Monday - Friday, 9:00am - 5:30pm Florida Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS), National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS), National Centers for Coastal Ocean Science (NCCOS), National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), Department of Commerce - Endangered and Threatened Wildlife and Plants; Designation of Critical Habitat for Acropora 73 FR 72210, November 26, 2008 Updated bathymetry East of St. John was added to the critical habitat layer. 2015-05-07T00:00:00 Amanda Frick NOAA-National Marine Fisheries Service GIS Coordinator 727-824-5301 727-824-5320 263 13th Ave S St Petersburg FL 33701-5505 US Amanda.Frick@noaa.gov Monday - Friday, 9:00am - 5:30pm Repaired geometry errors in Florida area feature only.
