Core Habitat & Critical Natural Landscapes (BioMap) - Dukes County

The Martha's Vineyard Commission compiled this web map but all data displayed in this web map are served out directly from MassGIS. Per MassGIS: Core Habitat identifies areas critical for the long-term persistence of rare species, exemplary natural communities, and resilient ecosystems. Critical Natural Landscape identifies large landscapes minimally impacted by development and buffers to core habitats and coastal areas, both of which enhance connectivity and resilience. This is the MassGIS overview of BioMap. Click here for TNC's detailed, deep-dive into BioMap (2022 release).
