These data identify the riverine critical habitat, Units 1 through 7, for Acipenser oxyrinchus desotoi (Atlantic sturgeon, Gulf subspecies). There is a separate geospatial dataset that shows the marine and estuarine critical habitat, Units 8 through 14.Omissions of river distributaries may be possible due to the extent of source data (NHD) and because a number of the smaller streams are not named and easily identifiable. Based on the legal narrative unit descriptions in the Federal Register, all distributaries are included; however, they may not be graphically represented in this dataset.
Critical habitat constitutes areas considered essential for the conservation of a listed species. These areas provide notice to the public and land managers of the importance of the areas to the conservation of this species. Special protections and/or restrictions are possible in areas where Federal funding, permits, licenses, authorizations, or actions occur or are required.

The GIS files 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 makes every effort to represent the critical habitat shown with data as completely and accurately as possible (given existing time and resource constraints), the USFWS gives no warranty, expressed or implied, as to the accuracy, reliability, or completeness of these data. In addition, the USFWS 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 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. They are not to be used for legal survey use. Please refer to Federal Register Citation Number 68FR13370, published 20030319 for the legal critical habitat information.

All attributes created during the process were verified by displaying lines in both the database and the spatial coverage, but no formal tests were performed.
This data set was created using ArcView 3.2a
The process steps for creating the final Gulf sturgeon riverine critical habitat units were:
1. NHD arc and route.reach files were brought into the view for each basin covered by the final critical habitat.
2. Records in the route.reach files were selected by querying on the name field. Additional unnamed records (mainly distributaries) were selected within the view using the selector tool.
3. Records in the arc files were selected using the "Select by theme..." command, choosing all records that were completely within the route.reach files. The selected records were visually checked to ensure that only river centerlines were included.
4. Using the X-Tools extension "merge themes" command, all selected records from the NHD arc files were combined into the stg_ch_final.shp file.
5. Distributaries that were not included in the NHD arc files but were included in the Federal Register maps or DeLorme state gazetteers were added to the shapefile with on-screen digitizing.
6. Using the narrative unit descriptions from the Federal Register, some arcs were spilt and parts were removed. This only occurred in units where the highest river reach included stopped at a road crossing. The roads layer used to determine this stopping point is from the ESRI Sample Data and Maps, CD Volume 5, Southern U.S., August 1999.
