Statewide Critical Habitat Designations - Consolidated. Critical habitat are areas considered essential for the conservation of a listed species. These areas provide notice to the public and land managers the importance of these areas to the conservation of these species. Special protections and/or restrictions are possible in areas where federal funding, permits, licenses, authorizations, or actions occur or are required.
Designation of Critical Habitat for various species. Critical Habitat is the term used in the Endangered Species Act to define those areas of habitat that are known to be essential for an endangered or threatened species to recover and that require special management or protection. See individual species and metadata files for more complete descriptions of the datasets used to derive this layer. 8/9/17:
Statewide GIS Program staff merged and dissolved individual species layers into one consolidated layer for use in determining whether a location is within or outside of a critical habitat area, regardless of species. 2/17/22:
Statewide GIS Program staff received additional critical habitat data from USFWS (2018 Big Island 3 Plants layer) and incorporated the layer into the statewide consolidated critical habitat layer.
3/28/24:
Statewide GIS Program staff received additional critical habitat data from USFWS (2024 Big Island 12 Species layer) and incorporated the layer into the statewide consolidated critical habitat layer.

<DIV STYLE="text-align:Left;"><DIV><DIV><P><SPAN>The GIS files for Proposed and/or Final Critical Habitat and their associated coordinates are not the legal source for determining the critical habitat boundaries of species described in this dataset but are used to identify areas which contain the physical and biological features essential to the conservation of the species or areas otherwise determined to be essential. Inherent in any dataset used to develop graphical representations are limitations of accuracy as determined, among others, the source, scale and resolution of the data. While the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS) makes every effort to represent the critical habitat shown with data as completely and accurately as possible (given existing time and resource constraints), the FWS gives no warranty, expressed or implied, as to the accuracy, reliability, or completeness of these data. In addition, the FWS shall not be held liable for improper or incorrect use of the data described and/or contained herein. Graphical representations provided by the use of these data do not represent a legal description of the critical habitat boundary. The user is referred to the critical habitat textual description in the appropriate final/proposed rule for this species as published in the Federal Register. These data are to be used only in the context of the definition and purpose of critical habitat. This primarily relates to Section 7 consultation under the Endangered Species Act. These data may be used for planning and land management purposes. Please refer to Federal Register Citation Number 89 FR 17902, published 20240312 for the legal critical habitat information.</SPAN></P></DIV></DIV></DIV> |
