Description
Summary:Faunal inventory created for selected sites and corridors of the Eastham Area, Cape Cod National Seashore. The inventory was conducted over an extended period of time encompassing all seasons of the year. The area of possible impact exceeds the study area and calculates at about 274 acres. The dispersed nature of the proposed development over a large area creates many habitat islands and produces extensive edge. Insularity and edge effects are profound in many cases, especially uplands, and may significantly shift wildlife populations in favor of exotic and/or federal species.
