This data set was developed in accordance with Maine's Natural Resources Protection Act, which designates the Maine Department of Inland Fisheries and Wildlife (MDIFW) as the authority for determining Significant Wildlife Habitats. The polygons mapped in this GIS data set delineate the location of each DWA as accurately as possible given available information at the time they were created; however, consultation with an MDIFW Regional Biologist is strongly advised for a final determination of the boundaries and current habitat quality of any specific area. For any Significant Wildlife Habitat, a field determination by the MDIFW Regional Biologist takes precedence over the mapped polygon. |
