This feature class resides within the BIOLOGY Feature Data Set of the Long Island Sound - 2016 ESI Geodatabase. It contains vector polygons representing sensitive biological resource data for reptiles and amphibians (18 species total) within the Long Island Sound study area. The study area includes Long Island Sound, tidal tributaries and bays, freshwater streams, lakes, and land areas in New York and Connecticut. Vector polygons in this data set represent reptile and amphibian species distributions, migration and nesting areas, and areas of vulnerable occurrence. Species-specific abundance, seasonality, status, life history, and source information are stored in associated data tables (described in Entity Attribute Overview below) designed to be used in conjunction with this spatial data layer. This data set is a portion of the ESI data for Long Island Sound. As a whole, the ESI data characterize the marine and coastal environments and wildlife by their sensitivity to spilled oil, and include information for three main components: shoreline habitats, sensitive biological resources, and human-use resources.
