- Description:
- Abstract:
- This data set contains vector lines and polygons
representing coastal hydrography used in the creation of the Environmental
Sensitivity Index (ESI) for Southern California. The HYDRO data layer
contains all annotation used in producing the atlas. The annotation
features are categorized into three subclasses in order to simplify the
mapping and quality control procedures: GEOG for geographic features, SOC
for socioeconomic features, and HYDRO for water features. This data set
comprises a portion of the ESI data for Southern California. 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.
- 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. Besides the
above warning, 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.

SERVER(R) (version 2000). The hardware configuration is PC's with Windows
Operating System (2000/XP/2003). The Spatial_Data_Organization Information
section refers only to the source files in the ARC export format. The
following files are included in the data set: acp.e00, birds.e00, esi.e00,
fish.e00, fishl.e00, habitats.e00, hydro.e00, index.e00, invert.e00,
m_mammal.e00, mgt.e00, nests.e00, reptiles.e00, socecon.e00, and
t_mammal.e00. Associated relational and desktop data tables provided in Arc
export and text format are bio_lut.e00, biofile.e00, biores.e00, breed.e00,

- 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. A final review is made by the GIS
manager, where the data are written to CD/DVD and the metadata are
written. After the data are delivered to NOAA, they are again subjected to
a number of quality and consistency checks.
- Completeness_Report:
- These data represent linear and polygonal
hydrography for Southern California.
- Positional_Accuracy:
- Horizontal_Positional_Accuracy:
- Horizontal_Positional_Accuracy_Report:
- The hydrography data set was developed from
pre-existing digital data and reflects the positional accuracy of
these original data. The horizontal positional accuracy of the
1:24,000 USGS topographic quads should conform to National Map
Accuracy Standards at scales of 1:24,000. 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_Step:
- Process_Description:
- The shoreline of the original ESI maps,
published in 1995, were re-examined and updated using the following
methods: interpretation of the 2008 contiguous aerial photography
(California Coastal Records Project), USFWS Wetland coverages (used to
classify marshes and swamps), Google Earth in areas where no other
current data could be obtained, and through verification via
overflights conducted in October 27- 30 of 2008.The above digital
and/or hardcopy sources were compiled to create the HYDRO data layer.
Depending on the type of source data, four general approaches are used
for compiling the data layer: 1) hardcopy maps are digitized at their
source scale; 2) digital data layers are evaluated and used "as is" or
integrated with the other data sources; 3) overflight classifications
are digitized from the scanned and registered hardcopy field maps;
and/or 4) classifications are interpreted from oblique gps referenced
photography or video taken during the overflights. After the initial
shoreline classification, these data are edgematched and checked for
logical consistency errors. Review maps are plotted at 1:24,000 scale
for verification of polygonal and linear attributes. See the Lineage
section for additional information on the type of source data for this
data layer. The compiled ESI, biology, and human-use data are plotted
onto hardcopy draft maps. Following the delivery of draft maps to the
participating resource experts, a second set of interviews are
conducted to review the maps. If necessary, edits to the HYDRO data
layer are made based on the recommendations of the resource experts,
and final hardcopy maps and digital data are created.

- Custom_Order_Process:
- Contact NOAA for distribution options (see
Distributor). ESI data are processed into multiple formats to make them
useful to the widest community of GIS/mapping users. Distribution formats
include Geodatabase; ARC export, MOSS, and Shape files; and MARPLOT map
folders. An ArcMap .mxd file, an ArcView 3.x ESI project, and an
ESI_Viewer product for use with the MARPLOT data are also included on the
distribution CDs/DVDs for ease of use of the ESI data. 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.
