The areas depicted represent locations where the NOAA Fisheries Southeast Regional Office (SERO) recommends Federal action agencies conduct Section 7 consultations due to the spatial and temporal occurrence of listed species&#8217; life stages, behaviors, and/or critical habitat in the Southeast Region. Consultation Areas are within the species range, but may not include areas of extralimital occurrence. We developed these layers using the best available scientific and commercial information and our professional judgment. Please note that due to data limitations, if a Federal action agency project (and associated action area) is outside of a major waterway (e.g., in a very small tributary, or shallow area near a marsh) or coastline, S7 Consultation Areas may lack the spatial resolution to capture the action area. Therefore, activities outside a Consultation Area but within a certain proximity may still affect the species identified within the Consultation Area. SERO encourages Federal action agencies to request technical assistance to verify presence/absence of listed species when making consultation determinations. If a user knows of more recent information that is not reflected in the S7 Consultation Area data, please notify us so that we can make appropriate updates (nmfs.ser.esa.consultations@noaa.gov). The NOAA Southeast Region includes the states of NC, SC, GA, FL, MS, AL, LA, TX, NM, OK, KS, NE, IA, MS, AK, TN, and KY; and waters of the US Exclusive Economic Zone (US EEZ) in the Atlantic Ocean from the NC/VA border through Florida, the Gulf of Mexico, and the U.S. Caribbean.

Use the S7CAs as a first step in determining if a proposed federal action area overlaps with listed species or critical habitat presence. In cases where neither the direct nor the indirect effects of an action will extend into an area of species presence or critical habitat, and thus listed species and critical habitat will not be exposed to any effects of the action, the Action Agency may conclude the consultation process with a No Effect determination (see our Guidance on Effects Determinations). The S7CAs indicate locations where species and/or critical habitat may be present, and thus a Section 7 consultation is likely recommended. Consider various factors such as habitat type, sighting information, and project details when determining whether to consult. For projects of larger scale and longer duration, we may consider effects to all of our listed species, including extralimital occurrences, during consultation. However, based on the nature and extent of direct and indirect effects of the proposed action, it does not necessarily mean all activities within the indicated Section 7 Service Area or Consultation Area(s) need consultation. For example, a proposed action may be so minor or limited due to minimization measures, and/or of such a brief duration, and/or occur when species are not present, that the Action Agency determines there are no effects of the proposed project on listed species. &lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;/DIV&gt;&lt;/DIV&gt;&lt;/DIV&gt;&lt;/DIV&gt;</useLimit></Consts></resConst><spatRpType><SpatRepTypCd value="001"/></spatRpType><dataLang><languageCode value="eng"/><countryCode value="USA" Sync="TRUE"/></dataLang><dataExt xmlns=""><exDesc>Publication date</exDesc><tempEle><TempExtent><exTemp><TM_Period xmlns=""><tmBegin>2024-09-29T00:00:00</tmBegin></TM_Period></exTemp></TempExtent></tempEle></dataExt><suppInfo>The Federal action agency must consider the full extent of their action area (i.e., &#8220;all areas to be affected directly or indirectly by the Federal action and not merely the immediate area involved in the action&#8221; (50CFR&#167;402.02)) to determine whether or not the proposed activity overlaps with listed species presence in these Consultation Areas. In cases where neither the direct nor the indirect effects of an action will extend into an area of species presence or critical habitat, and thus listed species and critical habitat will not be exposed to any effects of the action, the Federal action agency may conclude the consultation process with a No Effect determination (see our guidance on no effect determinations). Maps indicate locations where species presence and/or critical habitat has been identified and thus section 7 consultation is likely recommended. However, based on the nature and extent of direct and indirect effects of the proposed action, does not necessarily mean all activities within indicated Consultation Areas need consultation. For example, a proposed action may be so minor or limited due to minimization measures, and/or of such a brief duration, and/or occur when species are not present, that the Federal action agency determines there are no effects of the proposed project on listed species). Federal action agencies must use discretion and expertise to determine if proposed activity may affect listed species or critical habitat. If an action agency determines that the proposed activity will not have any effect on a listed species/designated critical area, then no further consultation is necessary. However, if an action agency determines the proposed activity may affect a listed species or designated critical habitat in any capacity, they must initiate either a formal or informal consultation and, as necessary, prepare a biological assessment to initiate consultation (see instructions below).

We generated our own standard RKM measurements using the National Hydrography Dataset (NHD). Using the [GNIS_Name] attribute, we extracted river line features from the NHDFlowline and NHDLine feature classes from all states containing the river. We discarded by hand any features not representing the target watercourse. We merged and dissolved the remaining features into a single polyline feature representing the target river, filling in gaps as necessary with unnamed NHD features or drawing by hand using ESRI&#8217;s World Imagery basemap as a guide. We projected the river into an equidistant coordinate system and generated point features along the river line, spaced exactly 1 kilometer apart, beginning at the mouth. We assigned each point a number value representing its river length distance from the mouth and used the points to split the river line into 1km segments. We transferred the river distance values of the downstream and upstream points to the river line segments. From the NHDWaterbody and NHDArea data layers, we spatially extracted polygons overlapping the river line, discarded unnecessary features by hand, and merged and dissolved features to create a single double-bank polygon for each river. We usually maintained minor tributaries as part of the river polygon, but we split off some larger tributaries as their own RKM or singlepart river templates (see other processing steps for more information). At each river kilometer point location, we measured the bearing of the underlying river line, then generated transects perpendicular to the bearing to cut the double-bank river polygon into 1 RKM segments. We reviewed the resulting RKM polygon segments, and made edits by hand wherever transects crossed before reaching the riverbank, usually around sharp bends in the river. Finally, we assigned each 1 RKM polygon segment with the upstream and downstream RKM distances.</stepDesc><stepDateTm>2021-10-01T00:00:00</stepDateTm></prcStep><prcStep xmlns=""><stepDesc>[Singlepart River Template Development] Some minor rivers and tributaries do not require river kilometer (RKM) segmentation for Section 7 purposes.

We used COLREGS lines to cross the mouths of inlets, bays, and sounds as necessary.  From these component files we generated the following templates. "Coast to EEZ Waters" Nearshore boundary: Combination of NHD coastline and COLREGS lines; Offshore boundary: Limit of US EEZ; Notes: Includes state and federal marine waters.  Excludes waters inshore of COLREGS. "Oceanic Waters" Nearshore boundary: 200m bathy contour (derived from ETOPO1); Offshore boundary: Limit of US EEZ; Notes: Neritic + Oceanic = Coast to EEZ Limit waters. "Neritic Waters" Nearshore boundary: Combination of NHD coastline and COLREGS lines; Offshore boundary: 200m bathy contour (derived from ETOPO1); Notes: Neritic + Oceanic = Coast to EEZ Limit waters. "Inshore Waters" Nearshore boundary: NHD coast (as delineated by FType=SeaOcean); Offshore boundary: Combination of NHD coastline and COLREGS Lines; Notes: This won't be contiguous.  Where FType=SeaOcean extends into the open ocean/gulf, there will be no inshore waters. Some inshore waters will also be designated as stand-alone, named zones (i.e. Pamlico Sound).  We also used bathymetry contours derived from ETOPO1 to produce nearshore or offshore limits for some features not matching these standardized Coast-to-EEZ, Oceanic, Neritic, or Inshore waters zones.</stepDesc><stepDateTm>2021-10-01T00:00:00</stepDateTm></prcStep><prcStep xmlns=""><stepDesc>[SME Review] NOAA Fisheries SERO Species Coordinators reviewed the decision rules for determining unique combinations of life stages, behaviors, and times of year, as well as the descriptions of those life stages and behaviors.

The following steps are only applicable to the "Web App" version of this geodatabase used for the Section 7 Consultation Area Mapper web application tool, hosted on the NOAA GeoPlatform, and do not apply to the primary, downloadable geodatabase. To optimize data rendering speeds in the application, any polygons with more than 20,000 vertices were split into smaller polygons, typically along a constant meridian or parallel, until all subdivisions had fewer than 20,000 vertices. The attributes for these subdivided polygons were unchanged, so multiple features may have identical attributes. We identified the 20,000 vertex maximum after several trials. For the Web App version, we also produce a feature class of "simplified species extent" polygons. We use this layer to depict lower-resolution spatial extents of Consultation Areas for each species. The layer is produced by dissolving all Consultation Areas for a given species into a single polygon, and then running the Simplify Polygon tool on that feature using the POINT_REDUCTION method. </stepDesc><stepDateTm>2024-09-29T00:00:00</stepDateTm></prcStep><prcStep xmlns=""><stepDesc>[Higher Resolution Bathymetry] For Queen Conch in the Caribbean areas we needed higher resolution bathymetreic data for areas near shorelines because our standard data source, ETOPO1, sometimes interpolated depth contours overlapping land. Thus, we used the NGDC's 3 Arc-Second U.S. Coastal Relief Model instead of ETOPO-1 in some these regions. 2023 volume 9 covered Puerto Rico and the US Virgin Islands. ETOPO1 was still used for other -200ft and -10m bathymetry contours in our geodatabase.</stepDesc><stepDateTm>2024-09-29T00:00:00</stepDateTm></prcStep><prcStep xmlns=""><stepDesc>[Navassa Island] Uninhabited Navassa Island (18&#176;24&#8242;10&#8243;N 75&#176;0&#8242;45&#8243;W) is disputed territory. United States EEZ claims surounding this Island are not represented in the US Maritime Limits and Boundaries dataset used for other maritime boundaries in this geodatabase. Therefore we used the &#8220;World EEZ v12" (2023-10-25, 122MB) shapefile from marineregions.org to draw these boundaries instead. Because Navassa Island is discontinuous from other US EEZ waters, the difference in sources should not be an issue.</stepDesc><stepDateTm>2024-09-29T00:00:00</stepDateTm></prcStep><prcStep xmlns=""><stepDesc>GeoPlan downloaded this layer on 1/10/25 from the following site:
