      <abstract>These data identify, in general, the areas of Final critical habitat for Cordylanthis mollis ssp. mollis (soft bird’s beak).</abstract>
      <purpose>Critical habitat constitutes areas considered essential for the conservation of a listed species. These areas provide notice to the public and land managers of the importance of the areas to the conservation of this species. Special protections and/or restrictions are possible in areas where Federal funding, permits, licenses, authorizations, or actions occur or are required.</purpose>

      <procstep>
        <procdesc>Geospatial data sets were used within ArcGIS /ArcMap (Environmental Systems Research Institute, Redlands, CA) and analyzed to define the areas that best contain the features that are essential to the conservation of Cirsium hydrophilum var. hydrophilum and Cordylanthus mollis ssp. mollis. Intertidal, emergent estuarine marshes (undiked high tidal marshes) were selected from the data sets based on tidal channel networks, hydrology, and marsh elevation (refer to PCEs). We are not including undiked high tidal marshes that do not contain the PCEs or were not essential for the conservation of the subspecies because either the area is highly degraded and may not be restorable; or the area is small, highly fragmented, or isolated and may provide little or no long-term conservation value. The occurrence of saline soils was determined from county soil surveys (NRCS 2005c). Marsh habitats and soil salinity in high tidal marshes will also be continually changing due to the seasonal variability of environmental conditions within these areas. Based on the above data analysis, the boundaries of proposed critical habitat units were digitized at a map scale from 1:750 to 1:1,500 from digital photographic and wetland-tidal marsh polygon data sets (see Methods section). All lands within these delineated boundaries are considered critical habitat. Water bodies and conveyances (such as tidal sloughs, channels, ditches, canals, and ponds) were not removed from the interior of critical habitat units. These features are essential for the conservation of the subspecies based on hydrologic processes, despite the fact that these plants do not normally grow within the banks of such channels and ponds.</procdesc>
