12/3/24,9:25AM IPaC: Explore Location resources <br /> For additional details about the relative occurrence and abundance of both individual bird species and <br /> groups of bird species within your project area off the Atlantic Coast, please visit the Northeast Ocean Data <br /> Portal. The Portal also offers data and information about other taxa besides birds that may be helpful to <br /> you in your project review. Alternately, you may download the bird model results files underlying the portal <br /> maps through the NOAA NCCOS Integrative Statistical Modeling and Predictive Mapping of Marine Bird <br /> Distributions and Abundance on the Atlantic Outer Continental Shelf project webpage. <br /> Bird tracking data can also provide additional details about occurrence and habitat use throughout the <br /> year, including migration. Models relying on survey data may not include this information. For additional <br /> information on marine bird tracking data, see the Diving Bird Study and the nanotag studies or contact <br /> Caleb Spiegel or Pam Loring. <br /> What if I have eagles on my list? <br /> If your project has the potential to disturb or kill eagles,you may need to obtain a permit to avoid violating <br /> the Eagle Act should such impacts occur. <br /> Proper Interpretation and Use of Your Migratory Bird Report 0 <br /> \0 <br /> The migratory bird list generated is not a list of all birds in your project area, only a subset of birds of <br /> priority concern. To learn more about how your list is generated, and see options for identifying what other <br /> birds may be in your project area, please see the FAQ "What does IPaC use to generate the migratory birds <br /> potentially occurring in my specified location". Please be aware this report provides the "probability of <br /> presence" of birds within the 10 km grid cell(s)that overlap your project; not your exact project footprint. <br /> On the graphs provided, please also look carefully at the survey effort(indicated by the black vertical bar) <br /> and for the existence of the "no data" indicator(a red horizontal bar). A high survey effort is the key <br /> component. If the survey effort is high, then the probability of presence score can be viewed as more <br /> dependable. In contrast, a low survey effort bar or no data bar means a lack of data and, therefore, a lack <br /> of certainty about presence of the species. This list is not perfect; it is simply a starting point for identifying <br /> what birds of concern have the potential to be in your project area, when they might be there, and if they <br /> might be breeding(which means nests might be present). The list helps you know what to look for to <br /> confirm presence, and helps guide you in knowing when to implement conservation measures to avoid or <br /> minimize potential impacts from your project activities, should presence be confirmed. To learn more <br /> about conservation measures, visit the FAQ "Tell me about conservation measures I can implement to <br /> avoid or minimize impacts to migratory birds" at the bottom of your migratory bird trust resources page. <br /> Facilities <br /> National Wildlife Refuge lands <br /> Any activity proposed on lands managed by the National Wildlife Refuge system must <br /> undergo a 'Compatibility Determination' conducted by the Refuge. Please contact the <br /> individual Refuges to discuss any questions or concerns. <br /> There are no refuge lands at this location. <br /> 9-75 <br /> https://ipac.ecosphere.fws.gov/location/ASLN66VVLJEY5N60ZGVRFTAEAE/resources 9/11 <br />
