- Description:
- Abstract:
- The ESIL data set
contains vector lines 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
ESIP (ESI shoreline polygons) 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.

- 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.

- 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 ESIL
data layer are made based on the recommendations of the resource
experts, and final hardcopy maps and digital data are created.

- Entity_Type:
- Entity_Type_Label:
- ESIL.AAT
- Entity_Type_Definition:
- The
ESIL.AAT table contains attribute information for the vector lines
representing linear shoreline features with ESI classification.
- Entity_Type_Definition_Source:
- NOAA ESI Guidelines
- Attribute:
- Attribute_Label:
- ESI
- Attribute_Definition:
- The item ESI
contains values representing the ESI shoreline type. In many cases
shorelines are ranked with multiple codes, such as "6B/3A" (listed
landward to seaward from left to right). The first code, "6B", is the
most landward shoreline type and the second code, "3A", is the shoreline
type closest to the water. Singular shoreline types are listed below.
No multiple codes are listed, but all multiple codes included in the
data set can be assembled from the codes described. The ESI rankings
progress from low to high susceptibility to oil spills. To determine
the sensitivity of a particular intertidal shoreline habitat, the
following factors are integrated: 1) Shoreline type (substrate, grain
size, tidal elevation, origin); 2) Exposure to wave and tidal energy; 3)
Biological productivity and sensitivity; 4) Ease of cleanup.
Prediction of the behavior and persistence of oil in intertidal habitats
is based on an understanding of the dynamics of the coastal
environments, not just the substrate type and grain size. The intensity
of energy expended upon a shoreline by wave action, tidal currents, and
river currents directly affects the persistence of stranded oil. The
need for shoreline cleanup activities is determined, in part, by the
slowness of natural processes in removal of oil stranded on the
shoreline. The potential for biological injury, and ease of cleanup of
spilled oil are also important factors in the ESI ranking. Generally
speaking, areas exposed to high levels of physical energy, such as wave
action and tidal currents, and low biological activity rank low on the
scale, whereas sheltered areas with associated high biological activity
have the highest ranking.

- Overview_Description:
- Entity_and_Attribute_Overview:
- In
addition to the geographic data layers, relational attribute or data
tables are used to store information in the ESI data structure. (See the
Browse_Graphic sections for links to entity-relationship diagrams,
which describe the relationships between the attribute tables in the ESI
data structure.) The ESIL data layer is linked to the data table,
SOURCES, using SOURCE_ID and ESI_SOURCE.
- 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).

ESI data are processed into multiple formats to make them useful to a
wider community of GIS/mapping users. Distribution formats include ARC
export files, Shapefiles, and a file Geodatabase (the recommended
format). The database files are distributed both in the NOAA standard
relational database format (see NOAA Technical Memorandum NOS ORCA 115)
and in a simplified desktop flat file format. This metadata document
includes information on both of these database formats.
