Significant Vernal Pools

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 all Significant Vernal Pools currently mapped. This GIS dataset depicts the 250-foot critical terrestrial habitat areas surrounding the Significant Vernal Pool (SVP) or Potentially Significant Vernal Pool (PSVP) depression. 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.
