Description: These data depict the habitat areas designated as critical habitat under the U.S. Endangered Species Act (ESA) for Lower Columbia River Coho Salmon (81 FR 9252, February 24, 2016). The data also reveal numerous disconnnected stream segments that reflect areas deemed ineligible for designation or excluded from designation per section 4 of the ESA. Habitat areas were identified based on observation by, or the professional judgment of, federal, state, and tribal biologists. This shapefile was derived from datasets obtained from the following sources (as well as from comments and data received on the NMFS January 2013 proposed critical habitat designation):* Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife (ODFW) - http://rainbow.dfw.state.or.us/nrimp/* Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife (WDFW) - http://wdfw.wa.gov/mapping/salmonscape/The document "Designation of Critical Habitat for Lower Columbia River Coho Salmon and Puget Sound Steelhead FINAL Biological Report - December 2015" contains species distribution maps and data and identifies the specific GIS edits made between NMFS' proposed and final rules and is available online at:http://www.westcoast.fisheries.noaa.gov/protected_species/salmon_steelhead/salmon_and_steelhead_listings/coho/lower_columbia_river_coho_proposed_critical_habitat_supporting_information.html
