Description: Critical habitats are areas considered essential for the conservation of a listed species. Federal agencies are required to consult with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service on actions they carry out, fund, or authorize to ensure that their actions will not destroy or adversely modify critical habitat. These areas provide notice to the public and land managers of the importance of these areas to the conservation of a listed species. Special protections and/or restrictions are possible in areas where Federal funding, permits, licenses, authorizations, or actions occur or are required.
When a species is proposed for listing as endangered or threatened under the Endangered Species Act, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service must consider whether there are areas of habitat believed to be essential the species’ conservation. Those areas may be proposed for designation as “critical habitat.” Critical habitat is a term defined and used in the Act. It is a specific geographic area(s) that contains features essential for the conservation of a threatened or endangered species and that may require special management and protection. Critical habitat may include an area that is not currently occupied by the species but that will be needed for its recovery. An area is designated as “critical habitat” after the Service publishes a proposed Federal regulation in the Federal Register and receives and considers public comments on the proposal. The final boundaries of the critical habitat are also published in the Federal Register.

Use limitations: The GIS files and their associated coordinates are not the legal source for determining the critical habitat boundaries of species described within this dataset. While the Service makes every effort to represent the critical habitat shown with this 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.

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 may be used for planning and land management purposes; they are not to be used for legal survey use.
These data identify, in general, the areas of Final critical habitat for Holocarpha macradenia (Santa Cruz tarplant), Euphydryas editha bayensis (Bay checkerspot bufferfly), Rana draytonii (California red-legged frog), Ambystoma californiense (California tiger salamander), Chorizanthe pungens var. pungens (Monterey spineflower) and Chorizanthe robusta var. robusta (Robust spineflower). Data clipped to the Pajaro River watershed.
