These data represent a subset of the terrestrial locations designated as critical habitat for the Hawaiian monk seal on August 21, 2015 (80 FR 50926). These lines should be used in conjunction with a separate polygon dataset (marine and terrestrial areas in the MHI and Northwestern Hawaiian Islands); together the lines and polygons represent the entire final critical habitat designation. |

<DIV STYLE="text-align:Left;"><DIV><P><SPAN>Main Hawaiian Islands (MHI): Hawaiian monk seal critical habitat in the terrestrial environments of Kauai, Lehua, Oahu, Maui Nui (including Kahoolawe, Lanai, Maui, Molokai), and Hawaii extends from the water's edge (mean lower low water line) inland 5 meters (in length) past the shoreline. The shoreline is described by the upper reaches of the wash of the waves, other than storm or seismic waves, at high tide during the season in which the highest wash of the waves occurs, usually evidenced by the edge of vegetation growth or the upper limit of debris.Areas ineligible for designation as critical habitat and areas that were excluded from critical habitat were clipped out of this dataset. The final rule (August 21, 2015 80 FR 50926) describes ineligible and excluded areas. Critical habitat does not include the following particular areas where they overlap with the locations described above: all cliffs and manmade structures, such as docks, seawalls, piers, fishponds, roads, pipelines, boat ramps, platforms, buildings, ramparts and pilings existing within the legal boundaries on September 21, 2015.</SPAN></P></DIV></DIV> |
