These data were automated to provide an accurate high-resolution historical shoreline of Nonamesset Island to Falmouth Heights, MA suitable as a geographic information system (GIS) data layer. These data are derived from shoreline maps that were produced by the NOAA National Ocean Service including its predecessor agencies which were based on an office interpretation of imagery and/or field...

The survey of the marine environment of Falmouth Bay and the lower Fal Ruan Estuary was undertaken as part of the BioMar Project which is funded by the European Community through the LIFE Programme. In July 1994 a baseline survey was done to map the distribution of dead and living maerl. The survey was done using a RoxAnn acoustic system supported by direct observation of the seabed using a drop-down video camera and sediment samples collected by grab. Maps of bathymetry and predicted distribution of biotopes were prepared using GIS.

Updated habitat map resulting from an integrated analysis of the dedicated 2012 survey data (CEND3/12b) for South East of Falmouth rMCZ. A new habitat map for the site was produced by analysing and interpreting the available acoustic data and the groundtruth data collected by the dedicated survey of this site. The process is a combination of two approaches, auto-classification (image analysis) and expert interpretation, as described below. The routine for auto-classification is flexible and dependent on site-specific data, allowing for application of a bespoke routine to maximise the acoustic data available. ArcGIS was used to perform an initial unsupervised classification on the supplied backscatter image. The single band backscatter mosaic was filtered and smoothed prior to the application of an Iso cluster/maximum likelihood classification routine. For further information, refer to the South-East Falmouth rMCZ Post-survey Site Report vs. 8 (Green, S. & Cooper, R., 2015).

Mapped habitats based on observations of wildlife species that are Endangered, Threatened, or of Special Concern. This version of MDIFW's ETSC database has been simplified for "Beginning with Habitat" by showing only the most recent observation of the same species in the same habitat. This layer is updated daily. Most updates are additions of new observations. Less frequently, features/attributes are modified or deleted. Updates are more common during non-summer months (i.e., outside the field season). Static copies of this data set should not be kept for more than 1 year and ideally should be replaced monthly..

This data set contains Tidal Waterfowl / Wading bird Habitat (TWWH) polygons rated as Significant Wildlife Habitat under Maine's Natural Resources Protection Act (NRPA).
