Description:

Abstract:

This database contains various information on all Fauna (all animal life) within the baseline study.

Purpose:

This data layer was created for use in the New Jersey Ocean/Wind Power Ecological Baseline Studies. The overall goal of the study is to provide spatial and temporal data on species utilizing New Jersey offshore waters to assist in determining potential areas for wind power development.

Data_Quality_Information:

Attribute_Accuracy:

Attribute_Accuracy_Report:

A multi-stage, standardized error checking process is used to verify both attribute accuracy and logical consistency throughout data production. The process includes standardized data entry procedures, file and attribute naming conventions, multiple consistency checks that test for missing or duplicate data as well as a hardcopy data review by GIS and scientific experts. VBA automation is used for some of the data entry and consistency checks.

Process_Step:

Process_Description:

After the first round of quality control from the observers, the sighting data (in Microsoft excel format) was given to the data manager to process.The data was imported into a relational database and standardized. One master table contains all the attribute information gathered during the surveys.The table was generated from VBA scripts that automated the tasks and provided quality control measures. This process converted species codes to common names and determined seasons from the date field. ArcCatalog was used to create the data theme by the creature feature class from XY table tool.
