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 terrestrial mammal species within the Long Island Sound study area. The study area includes Long Island Sound, tidal tributaries and bays, freshwater streams and lakes, and land areas in New York and Connecticut. The six terrestrial mammal species include Northern river otter (Lontra canadensis), Silver-haired bat (Lasionycteris noctivagans), Hoary bat (Sylvilagus transitionalis), North American least shrew (Cryptotis parva), and Eastern red bat (Lasiurus borealis). Vector polygons in this data set represent terrestrial mammal distributions, colonies, concentration 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.
