MD iMAP: Maryland Offshore Wind Energy Planning - Waterbird Habitat and Density
opendata.maryland.gov | Last Updated 2020-01-25T00:23:31.000ZThis is a MD iMAP hosted service layer. Find more information at http://imap.maryland.gov. This data layer contains waterbird density blocks extracted from the Minerals Management Service's Mid-Atlantic Waterbird Data Beta Version 1.0. This application is based on their Marine Mammal and Seabird Computer Database Analysis System (MMS-CDAS). The origin of the underlying data is a U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service aerial survey conducted between December - 2001 and March - 2003. The source data were collected on-transect (120m width - 60 m each side) for transects conducted in the mouth of Chesapeake Bay - in Delaware Bay - and in offshore waters from the beach outward. Aerial surveys of waterbirds were flown to at least 12 nautical miles (22.2 km) offshore from northern New Jersey to the Virginia / North Carolina border. All waterbird species in the USFWS database from winter surveys only were exported to density blocks. Information in the MMS application suggests the winter surveys only are valid for calculating densities because they were flown on specific transects. The spatial extent of the database (and thus of this data set) is from the Virginia/North Carolina border to the Hudson Canyon (including Delaware Bay and the lowest part of Chesapeake Bay).

MD iMAP: Maryland Recreational Uses - Winter Sports

These baseline recreational use data will inform planning efforts being undertaken by the Maryland Department of Natural Resources to help inform public access - land acquisition - future planning and decision-making. Collecting data on the variety of ways the Chesapeake waters and surrounding lands are used will help us plan for reducing use conflicts in our coastal waters - maximizing efficiency - and enhancing environmental and economic productivity. Chesapeake Bay waters are used in many ways: commercial fishing - aquaculture - transport - habitat for wildlife - and recreation - among others. With new and expanding coastal and marine uses - as well as Maryland's growing coastal population - the pressure is mounting to ensure that there is space for both traditional and new uses and that conflicts are minimized. Some mapped human use data exist - but Maryland has limited recreational water use data for the Chesapeake waters. Basic data on how we use our coastal waters was collected by inviting residents and experts to share their knowledge about recreational uses at workshops using geographical information systems technology.

MD iMAP: Maryland Shoreline Hazard Index
opendata.maryland.gov | Last Updated 2020-01-25T00:15:40.000ZThis is a MD iMAP hosted service. Find more information on http://imap.maryland.gov. Each point in Coastal Resiliency Assessment Shoreline Points represents a 250 meter segment of the Maryland coast - including Atlantic - Chesapeake Bay and Coastal Bay shorelines. The Natural Capital Project's Coastal Vulnerability model was used to calculate a Shoreline Hazard Index - representing the relative exposure of each segment to storm-induced erosion and flooding. Inputs to the model included 6 physical variables (geomorphology - elevation - sea level rise - wave power - storm surge height and erosion rates) and 5 habitat types (forest - marsh - dune - oyster reef and underwater grass). Two scenarios of the model were run: one scenario incorporating the protective role of all existing coastal habitats and the other scenario simulating the complete loss of habitats. The difference between the two scenarios indicates the potential magnitude of coastal hazard reduction by habitats at each location. Model results were integrated with MD DNR's Community Flood Risk Areas (March - 2016) in order to highlight areas where hazard reduction by habitats is most likely to benefit at-risk coastal communities.This dataset was produced under award number NA13NOS4190136 from the Office of Ocean and Coastal Resource Management (OCRM) - National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) through the Maryland Department of Natural Resources Chesapeake and Coastal Services (CCS). The statements - finding and recommendations are those of the authors and do not necessarily reflect the views of NOAA or the U.S. Department of Commerce. The Natural Capital Project (NatCap) - CCS and The Nature Conservancy (TNC) all contributed to the production of this dataset.

MD iMAP: Maryland Forests - Forested Buffers
opendata.maryland.gov | Last Updated 2020-01-25T00:27:49.000ZThis is a MD iMAP hosted service. Find more information at http://imap.maryland.gov. The dataset displays the presence and absence of forested areas within a 100 foot-buffer of a stream or waterbody. The National Hydrography Dataset (NHD) stream layer developed by the United States Geological Survey was buffered 100-feet on each side of the stream centerline to determine stream buffers in Maryland. A shoreline file developed by the Maryland State Highway Administration was buffered 100-feet to determine the shoreline buffer in Maryland. The resulting buffer layers were clipped with a forest cover layer to determine the presence and absence of forest in those buffers. The forest cover layer was derived from a tree canopy layer developed by the Community College of Baltimore County - Catonsville - Geography Department. The tree canopy was developed using 2007 National Agriculture Imagery Program (NAIP) color infra-red 1-meter imagery. To determine areas forested - contiguous areas of tree cover less than 1 acre were removed from the dataset and then used for clipping the stream and shoreline buffers.Feature Service Link:http://geodata.md.gov/imap/rest/services/Biota/MD_Forests/FeatureServer/1 ADDITIONAL LICENSE TERMS: The Spatial Data and the information therein (collectively "the Data") is provided "as is" without warranty of any kind either expressed implied or statutory.
