Through collaboration with NOAA\u2019s National Centers for Coastal Ocean Science (NCCOS), U.S. Geological Survey (USGS), and Bureau of Ocean Energy Management (BOEM), a marine bird importance data layer was developed for inclusion in the spatial suitability model for siting considerations in the Oregon Call Areas. Utilizing existing spatially-explicit model-predicted density data for marine birds in Pacific Outer Continental Shelf (OCS) waters (Leirness et al. 2021; data accessible at https://doi.org/10.25921/xqf2-r853), a combined spatial distribution data layer of marine bird density was created for the Pacific OCS Region. A total of 124 seasonal predicted density layers for 30 individual species and 12 taxonomic groups were selected for inclusion. Each species was assigned a vulnerability rating based on its sensitivity to offshore wind development within the Call Areas (Adams et al. 2017; Kelsey et al. 2018). Using a weighted vulnerability metric, a final combined data layer was created for use in the relative suitability model.
