Description: This dataset is intended as guidance for Federal action agencies in consideration of Section 7 (S7) of theEndangered Species Act (ESA). The areas depicted represent locations where the Greater AtlanticRegional Fisheries Office (GARFO) has identified species presence and areas of critical habitat for use byFederal action agencies during S7 consultation. S7 Consultation Areas delineate locations where listedspecies are potentially affected within a river/estuary/marine zone. The Consultation Areas specify whichlife stages and behaviors may be affected. Please note that due to data limitations, if a Federal actionagency project (and associated action area) is outside of a major waterway (e.g., in a very small tributary,or shallow area near a marsh), S7 Consultation Areas may lack the spatial resolution to capture theaction area. Therefore, activities outside a Consultation Area but within a certain proximity may still affectthe species identified within the Consultation Area. GARFO encourages Federal action agencies torequest technical assistance to verify presence/absence of listed species when making consultationdeterminations. If a user knows of more recent information that is not reflected in the S7 ConsultationArea data, please notify us so that we can make appropriate updates (zachary.jylkka@noaa.gov). TheNOAA Greater Atlantic Region includes: the states of ME, NH, VT, MA, CT, RI, NY, NJ, PA, DE, MD, DC,VA, WV, OH, MI, IN, IL, WI and MN; Atlantic waters of the US Exclusive Economic Zone from the NC/VAborder to US/Canada Maritime Boundary; and US waters of the Great Lakes. Atlantic Large Whales:This data depicts a best estimate of the range of Atlantic large whales in waters of the Greater AtlanticRegion as guidance for action agencies. Please note that the distribution of these species may not beexclusively limited to the areas included. Sea Turtles: Sea turtle species in the Greater Atlantic Regioninclude loggerhead, Kemp's ridley, leatherback, and green sea turtles. Hawksbill sea turtles are rare inthe Greater Atlantic Region and are not included. Sea turtles move north into these waters in the spring,arriving in more southern waters of the mid-Atlantic in mid-April/May and the Gulf of Maine in June. In thefall, this trend is reversed with most sea turtles leaving Greater Atlantic Region waters by the end ofNovember. Outside of these times, sea turtle presence in these waters is considered unlikely. AtlanticSalmon: The Gulf of Maine distinct population segment (DPS) of Atlantic salmon are an anadromousspecies found within rivers of Maine, as well as coastal waters encompassed by the Gulf of Maine, Gulf ofSt. Lawrence, Grand Bank, and the Labrador Sea. NOAA Fisheries has ESA Section 7 jurisdiction overAtlantic salmon in marine and estuarine waters, while the Fish & Wildlife Service has jurisdiction infreshwater. Please note that the distribution of these species may not be exclusively limited to the areasincluded. Atlantic Sturgeon: There are four distinct population segments (DPS) of Atlantic sturgeonlisted as endangered (New York Bight, Chesapeake Bay, Carolina, and South Atlantic) and one DPSlisted as threatened (Gulf of Maine) under the ESA. The range for all five DPSs includes marine waters,coastal bays and estuaries, and coastal river systems from the Labrador Inlet in Labrador, Canada toCape Canaveral, Florida. Shortnose Sturgeon: Shortnose sturgeon are endangered throughout theirrange, and occur in Atlantic Ocean waters and associated bays, estuaries, and coastal river systems fromMinas Basin, Nova Scotia, Canada, to the St. Johns River, Florida. They spend the majority of their liveswithin coastal river systems, and only adults occur in marine waters, with some adults making coastalmigrations between river systems.
