Process_Description:
The WILDLIFE coverage was created by selecting and intersecting polygons from many of the individual species-based coverages maintained in Whatcom County's GIS. The wildlife data is stored as a series of "regions" coverages to facilitate multi-area, overlapping spatial queries. This simplified WILDLIFE coverage contains only polygon data referring to habitat areas, NOT site specific locational data. For information on Items "F, G, and H" from Article VII of the CAO please use the HYD24k coverage.
