- Description:
- Abstract:
- This data set contains management boundaries for: artifical reefs, management areas, The Nature Conservancy (TNC) lands, parks, and National Wildlife Refuges in Delaware/New Jersey/Pennsylvania. Vector polygons in this data set represent management areas. Location specific type and source information are stored in relational data tables (described below) designed to be used in conjunction with this spatial data layer. 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 SOCECON (Socioeconomic Resource Points and Lines) data layer, part of the larger Delaware/New Jersey/Pennsylvania ESI database, for additional human-use 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. In the process of checking for topological and database consistencies, new ID's and RARNUM's or HUNUM's are also generated. The new ID's are a combination of atlas number, element number, and record number. In addition, the value used to represent the element is modified to reflect the type of feature being mapped. In the case of an element that is normally represented by a point or polygon, a value of 20 is added to the standard element value for mapping of linear features. In the case where an element usually mapped as a polygon is represented by a point, a value of 30 is added to the regular element value. The RARNUM's are also modified to include the atlas number, so multiple atlases can be combined and RARNUM's remain unique. RARNUM's are redefined on an element basis, so "resource at risk" groupings will contain only a single element. HUNUM's are also modified to include the atlas number.
- Completeness_Report:
- These data represent a synthesis of digital boundaries for management areas. See also the SOCECON (Socioeconomic Resource Points and Lines) data layer, part of the larger Delaware/New Jersey/Pennsylvania ESI database, for additional human-use information. These data do not necessarily represent all management areas in Delaware/New Jersey/Pennsylvania.
- Positional_Accuracy:
- Horizontal_Positional_Accuracy:
- Horizontal_Positional_Accuracy_Report:
- Spatial components for the human-use data layers can come from expert interviews, hardcopy, or digital sources. Most of the spatial components of the human-use data layers are developed from pre-existing digital or hardcopy sources and reflect the positional accuracy of these original data. Some of the spatial components of the human-use data layers are compiled on hardcopy base maps with a scale of 1:45,000. See the Lineage and Process_Description sections for more information on the original source data and how these data were integrated or manipulated to create the final data set.

- Process_Description:
- The mapping extent was dependent upon information availability and location of mapped coastal habitats and shorelines. The main sources of data used to depict human-use resources for this data layer were digital data sets provided by the following agencies: 1) Delaware Department of Natural Resources and Environmental Control (DNREC) Artificial Reef Program; 2) New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection (NJDEP) Division of Fish and Wildlife (F&W) Artificial Reef Program; 3) Rutgers University Institute of Marine and Coastal Sciences; 4) NOAA NMFS Office of Protected Resources and Office of Sustainable Fisheries; 5) NJDEP DFW Bureaus of Marine Fisheries and Shellfisheries; 6) DNREC Division of Parks and Recreation; 7) The Nature Conservancy (TNC); 8) Delaware State Parks; 9) NJ Parks and Forestry; 10) PA Department of Conservation and Natural Resources; and 11) U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS). Artificial Reef: Locations of artificial reefs were mapped in Delaware Bay and the Atlantic Ocean. Artificial reef data for DE was provided by DNRECs Artificial Reef Program. Artificial reef data for NJ was provided by NJDEP DFWs Artificial Reef Program. Management Area: Management Areas in this ESI Atlas include state-managed: Wildlife Management Areas (WMA), Natural Areas, Preserves, Wildlife Areas, some beaches, Reserves, DE impoundments, and NJ shellfish leases. The Jacques Cousteau National Estuarine Research Reserve, the Carl H. Shuster, Jr. Horseshoe Crab Reserve, a habitat area of particular concern for sandbar shark and the North Atlantic Right Whale seasonal management area are also included. Nature Conservancy: Boundaries of The Nature Conservancy properties were provided by TNC. Parks: State park boundaries were provided by Delaware State Parks, NJ Parks and Forestry, and PA Department of Conservation and Natural Resources. Recreational Fishing: Recreational fishing locations were provided by NJDEP DFW Bureau of Marine Fisheries and DNREC. Wildlife Refuges: Six wildlife refuges fall within the Area of Interest (AOI): 1) Bombay Hook NWR (DE); 2) Cape May NWR (NJ); 3) Edwin B. Forsythe NWR (NJ); 4) John Heinz NWR Tinicum (PA); 5) Prime Hook NWR (DE); and 6)Supawna Meadows NWR (NJ). Locations of National Wildlife Refuges were provided by the USFWS. The above digital and/or hardcopy sources were compiled by the project biologist to create the MGT data layer. Depending on the type of source data, three general approaches are used for compiling the data layer: 1) information gathered during initial interviews and from hardcopy sources are compiled onto U.S. Geological Survey 1:45,000 topographic quadrangles and digitized; 2) hardcopy maps are digitized at their source scale; 3) digital data layers are evaluated and used "as is" or integrated with the hardcopy data sources. 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 MGT data layer are made based on the recommendations of the resource experts, and final hardcopy maps and digital data are created.

- Overview_Description:
- Entity_and_Attribute_Overview:
- Two relational attribute or data tables, SOC_DAT, and SOURCES, are used to store the complex socioeconomic data in the ESI data structure. The geographic data layer containing socioeconomic data resource information (in this case, MGT) is linked to the Socioeconomic Resources table (SOC_DAT) using the unique ID and the lookup table SOC_LUT, or it can be linked directly using HUNUM. HUNUM is a unique reference number concatenated with the atlas number (for Delaware/New Jersey/Pennsylvania, the number is 212). ID is a unique combination of the atlas number (212), an element specific number (MGT = 11), and a unique record number. SOC_DAT and the other relational data tables are described in the Detailed_Description sections. See the Browse_Graphic section for a link to the entity-relationship diagram, which describes the way these tables relate to the geographic data layers and other attribute tables in the ESI data structure.
- Entity_and_Attribute_Detail_Citation:
- A complete description of entity types, attributes, and attribute values for ESI atlases can be found in the NOAA ESI Guidelines (http://response.restoration.noaa.gov/esi_guidelines).
