Vernal Pool Centerpoints

A Significant Vernal Pool (SVP) is defined as a Significant Wildlife Habitat under Maine’s Natural Resources Protection Act (NRPA). This act designates the Maine Department of Inland Fisheries and Wildlife (MDIFW) as the authority responsible for mapping and rating these habitats. This GIS dataset includes the center points of all vernal pools submitted for status review: significant and non-significant vernal pools (regulatory and non-regulatory respectively). These vernal pools were mapped and surveyed in the field by wetland consultants, Maine Department of Environmental Protection staff and Maine Department of Inland Fisheries and Wildlife biologists. Please refer to the Maine Department of Environmental Protection's website for more information on Significant Wildlife Habitat: Significant Vernal Pool Habitat

重要季节性池塘（Significant Vernal Pool, SVP）依据《缅因州自然资源保护法（Natural Resources Protection Act, NRPA）》被划定为重要野生动物栖息地。该法案指定缅因州内陆渔业与野生动物局（Maine Department of Inland Fisheries and Wildlife, MDIFW）为负责此类栖息地测绘与评级的主管部门。本地理信息系统（Geographic Information System, GIS）数据集包含所有提交状态审查的季节性池塘的中心点，涵盖重要与非重要季节性池塘（分别对应监管类与非监管类）。此类季节性池塘均由湿地顾问、缅因州环境保护局工作人员以及缅因州内陆渔业与野生动物局的生物学家完成野外测绘与实地调查。如需了解更多关于重要野生动物栖息地——重要季节性池塘栖息地的相关信息，请访问缅因州环境保护局官方网站。
