- Description:
- Abstract:
- The ESIP data set contains vector polygons representing the shoreline and coastal habitats of Delaware/New Jersey/Pennsylvania classified according to the Environmental Sensitivity Index (ESI) classification system. This data set comprises a portion of the ESI data for Delaware/New Jersey/Pennsylvania. ESI data characterize the marine and coastal environments and wildlife by their sensitivity to spilled oil. The ESI data include information for three main components: shoreline habitats, sensitive biological resources, and human-use resources. See also the ESIL (ESI shoreline lines) and HYDRO (Hydrography lines and polygons) data layers, part of the larger Delaware/New Jersey/Pennsylvania ESI database, for additional shoreline information.
- Purpose:
- The ESI data were collected, mapped, and digitized to provide environmental data for oil spill planning and response. The Clean Water Act with amendments by the Oil Pollution Act of 1990 requires response plans for immediate and effective protection of sensitive resources.

- Use_Constraints:
- DO NOT USE MAPS FOR NAVIGATIONAL PURPOSES. Management boundaries are not to be considered legal boundaries. Edges may have been altered for cartographic processes. Besides the above warnings, there are no use constraints on these data. Note that the ESI database should not be used to the exclusion of other pertinent data or information held by state or federal agencies or other organizations. Likewise, information contained in the database cannot be used in place of consultations with environmental, natural resource, and cultural resource agencies, or in place of field surveys. Recognize that the information contained in the ESI database represents known concentration areas or occurrences of natural, cultural, and human-use resources, but does not necessarily represent the full distribution or range of each species or resource. This is particularly important to recognize when considering potential impacts to protected resources, such as endangered species, wetlands, etc. Acknowledgment of the originators, publishers, contributors, and sources listed would be appreciated in products derived from these data.

- Data_Quality_Information:
- Attribute_Accuracy:
- Attribute_Accuracy_Report:
- A multi-stage error checking process is used to verify both attribute accuracy and logical consistency throughout data production. The process includes a standardized data entry methodology, hardcopy data review by in-house and external resource experts, a final Quality Assurance/Quality Control (QA/QC) process, and multiple automated logical consistency checks. Quantitative data (such as densities, counts, abundances, or concentrations) provided by resource experts for inclusion in the data set may vary widely in attribute accuracy, depending upon the methodology used to collect and compile such data. For a more detailed evaluation of source data attribute accuracy, contact the sources listed in the Lineage section.
- Logical_Consistency_Report:
- A multi-stage error checking process, described in the above Attribute_Accuracy_Report, is used to verify both attribute accuracy and logical consistency throughout data production. This process includes multiple automated logical consistency checks that test the files for missing or duplicate data, rules for proper coding, GIS topological consistencies (such as dangles, unnecessary nodes, etc.), and SQL SERVER(R) to ARC/INFO(R) consistencies. After the data are delivered to NOAA, they are again subjected to a number of quality and consistency checks.
- Completeness_Report:
- These data represent coastal shorelines and habitats classified according to the Environmental Sensitivity Index (ESI) classification system. See also the ESIL (ESI shoreline lines) and HYDRO (Hydrography lines and polygons) data layers, part of the larger Delaware/New Jersey/Pennsylvania ESI database, for additional shoreline information.

- Process_Description:
- The shoreline was derived from the integration of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) National Wetlands Inventory (NWI) dataset (1972-2009); New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection (NJDEP) species based habitat dataset (2012); the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) Continually Updated Shoreline Product (CUSP) (1997-2012); and manual digitization at 1:4,000 from 2010-2011 BING aerial and 2010-2013 GOOGLE EARTH aerial imagery. The most recent shoreline was utilized where available. The intertidal shoreline habitats were classified based on 2010-2011 low-altitude oblique aerial photography from: BING Pictometry; 2010-2011 BING aerial imagery; and 2010-2013 GOOGLE EARTH aerial imagery. Shoreline features of 10 meters or greater in length were classified. In addition, wetland polygon datasets originally created by the FWS National Wetlands Inventory and the NJDEP were modified and updated to be used in conjunction with the ESI shoreline. Where necessary, multiple types were described for each shoreline segment. See the Lineage section for additional information on the type of source data for this data layer. The ESI, biology, and human-use data are compiled into the standard ESI digital data format. A second set of interviews with participating resource experts are conducted to review the compiled data. If necessary, edits to the ESIP data layer are made based on the recommendations of the resource experts, and final hardcopy maps and digital data are created.
