RPBB High and low potential zones, 03/25/2019
We have adapted the innermost ‘ring’ around each B. affinis record, dated 2007-2016, to produce polygons that describe the area where there is highest potential for the species to be present (i.e., High Potential Zones). These zones although not of uniform size, have discrete boundaries that will be used by FWS field offices and served online via the FWS Information for Planning and Conservation website (IPaC, https://ecos.fws.gov/ipac/) to assist action agencies determine whether their actions are likely to may overlap with current species occurrences. As a balance between typical foraging distances and potential dispersal movements, high potential zones provide a reasonable basis for describing where the species is likely to be present and where federal agencies should cooperate with the FWS to evaluate the potential effects of their actions.
