See Appendix I for definition of federal, global, state, and bight watershed (BW) ranks and status
Lng. Pnd. G.B. column contains codes indicating the status of a species population within the Long Pond Greenbelt habitat complex:
+ = known to occur in the area; seasonal use not specified; B = breeds in the area; S = regular non-breeding use in the summer
M = migrates through the area and has identifiable migratory stopover or staging areas within the area; W = overwinters in the area
P = primarily pelagic; ? = unconfirmed or questionable occurrence or seasonal use; H = occurred historically in the area
