    <descript>
      <abstract>These data identify, in general, the areas of Final critical habitat for Branshinecta sandiegonensis (San Diego fairy shrimp).</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>

Inherent in any dataset used to develop graphical representations, are limitations of accuracy as determined, among others, the source, scale and resolution of the data. While the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service makes every effort to represent the critical habitat shown with data as completely and accurately as possible (given existing time and resource constraints), the USFWS gives no warranty, expressed or implied, as to the accuracy, reliability, or completeness of these data. In addition, the USFWS shall not be held liable for improper or incorrect use of the data described and/or contained herein. Graphical representations provided by the use of these data do not represent a legal description of the critical habitat boundary. The user is referred to the critical habitat textual description in the appropriate final rule for this species as published in the Federal Register. These data are to be used only in the context of the definition and purpose of critical habitat. This primarily relates to Section 7 consultation under the Endangered Species Act. These data may be used for planning and land management purposes. They are not to be used for legal survey use.

        <procdesc>The critical habitat was initially digitized based on 1:24,000 USGS quadrangle maps, digital orthophoto quarter quadrangle images, species information from various sources, and the staff biologists' knowledge of the habitat and hydrology in the area.

On September 20, 2010, the District Court of the District of Columbia (D.C. Court) vacated 151 acres of designated critical habitat as mandated by the United States Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit on September 14, 2011, and its underlying Opinion and Judgment dated July 22, 2011 (Otay Mesa Property L.P. et al. v U.S. Department of the Interior, et al. 1:08-CY-00383).</procdesc>
