Abstract
Full Abstract:
Stratum boundaries for 2000 to present for the Waterfowl Breeding Population and Habitat Survey. This data view presents polygons which represent the stratum boundaries for the survey. This data view uses the geo schema as it contains geospatial information. Therefore, no CSV report is available for this data view.

Geographic Description:
Within the United States of America and Canada. The Waterfowl Breeding Population and Habitat Survey is composed of two distinct survey areas: first, the traditional area, which has been surveyed in its current design since 1974 and extends from coastal Alaska through the boreal forest to western Ontario, and through the parklands and prairies south to South Dakota; second, the eastern area, which has been surveyed since 1990 and covers portions of Ontario, Quebec, Labrador, Newfoundland, the Canadian Maritimes, and Maine.

Supplemental Information
Environment Description:
Microsoft Windows XP Version 5.1 (Build 2600) Service Pack 2; ESRI ArcCatalog 9.2.6.1500. Extracted coordinates of polygon vertices from pilot maps. The coordinates of vertices defining the boundaries of survey strata were recorded from paper navigation maps (NAD27) containing hand-drawn stratum boundaries. After extracting coordinates, these were transformed to NAD83 and input into .gen files. The .gen files were then used to generate stratum polygons using GENERATE in ARC/INFO.
Supplemental Information:
Where political divisions and/or coastlines (inland or ocean) are included in stratum boundaries, these lines were derived from ESRI World Basemap Data (on-line), Geographic coordinates (NAD83). Normally a stratum boundary coverage consists of a single polygon, but there are instances where a stratum is comprised of multiple polygons. There are entries in the attribute tables showing the number of polygons and total area for all polygons in the stratum.
