This data set contains vector lines and polygons representing the shoreline and coastal habitats for Mississippi classified according to the Environmental Sensitivity Index (ESI) classification system. This data set comprises a portion of the ESI data for Mississippi. 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 WETLANDS data layer, part of the larger Mississippi ESI database, for additional ESI information. 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.

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. Horizontal Positional Accuracy The spatial location of the ESI shoreline was developed from pre-existing digital sources 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. The minimum mapping unit (MMU) of the actual shoreline classification segments is estimated at 50 meters where mapping is conducted using 1:24,000 hardcopy fieldmaps. Field verification has shown that the absolute positional accuracy of breaks between shoreline ESI types with a 95-percent error bound is approximately 58 meters. 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. Completeness Report These data represent coastal shorelines and habitats classified according to the Environmental Sensitivity Index (ESI) classification system. See also the WETLANDS data layer, part of the larger Mississippi ESI database, for additional ESI information. Conceptual Consistency 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 node, 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-ROM and the metadata are written. After the data are delivered to NOAA, they are again subjected to a number of quality and consistency checks. Original ESI maps, published in 1995, were re-examined and fully updated. The intertidal shoreline habitats of Mississippi were mapped via interpretation of a continuous, overlapping set of georeferenced oblique aerial photographs which were acquired in January 2008 during overflights. The overflights were conducted using fixed-wing aircraft operated by the USCG Auxillary, flying at altitudes of 400-600 feet and slow air speeds. All flights were planned to maximize time on site during the 2.5 hours preceding and the 2.5 hours following peak low tide. Where appropriate, revisions to the existing shoreline were made \x96 most notably, along the barrier islands. Where necessary, multiple habitats were described for each shoreline segment.The above digital and/or hardcopy sources were compiled to create the ESI data layer. Depending on the type of source data, three 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 hardcopy data sources; and 3) overflight changes are digitized from the scanned and registered hardcopy field maps or aerial photography. 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 ESI data layer are made based on the recommendations of the resource experts, and final hardcopy maps and digital data are created. 2009-12-01T00:00:00 Source Contribution: ESI INFORMATION | Source Geospatial Form: EXPERT KNOWLEDGE | Type of Source Media: PERSONAL COMMUNICATION DISTRIBUTION AND ABUNDANCE OF BIOLOGICAL AND HUMAN USE RESOURCES ON GULF ISLANDS 2009-01-01 publication G.HOPKINS, NATIONAL PARK SERVICE 2009 Source Contribution: ESI INFORMATION | Source Geospatial Form: PHOTOGRAPHY | Type of Source Media: disc NATURAL COLOR PHOTOGRAPHY 2007-01-01 publication MISSISSIPPI DEPARTMENT OF INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY SERVICES 2007 Source Contribution: ESI INFORMATION | Source Geospatial Form: PHOTOGRAPHS | Type of Source Media: DIGITAL PHOTO OVERFLIGHT OBLIQUES 2008-01-01 publication RESEARCH PLANNING, INC. 2008-01 Source Contribution: ESI INFORMATION | Source Geospatial Form: vector digital data | Type of Source Media: CD-ROM 24000 SENSITIVITY OF COASTAL ENVIRONMENTS AND WILDLIFE TO SPILLED OIL: MISSISSIPPI: ESI: HYDRO 1995-01-01 publication NATIONAL OCEANIC AND ATMOSPHERIC ADMINISTRATION (NOAA), NATIONAL OCEAN SERVICE (NOS), OFFICE OF RESPONSE AND RESTORATION (OR&R), EMERGENCY RESPONSE DIVISION (ERD) https://response.restoration.noaa.gov/esi WWW:LINK-1.0-http--link Source Citation URL Source Citation URL information 1995 Source Contribution: ESI INFORMATION | Source Geospatial Form: vector digital data | Type of Source Media: CD-ROM 24000 SENSITIVITY OF COASTAL ENVIRONMENTS AND WILDLIFE TO SPILLED OIL: MISSISSIPPI: ESIP 1995-01-01 publication NATIONAL OCEANIC AND ATMOSPHERIC ADMINISTRATION (NOAA), NATIONAL OCEAN SERVICE (NOS), OFFICE OF RESPONSE AND RESTORATION (OR&R), EMERGENCY RESPONSE DIVISION (ERD) https://response.restoration.noaa.gov/esi WWW:LINK-1.0-http--link Source Citation URL Source Citation URL information 1995 Source Contribution: ESI INFORMATION | Source Geospatial Form: vector digital data | Type of Source Media: online UPDATED SHORELINE 2002-01-01 publication MISSISSIPPI OFFICE OF GEOLOGY: COASTAL GEOLOGY SECTION: MISSISSIPPI DEPARTMENT OF ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY http://geology.deq.state.ms.us/coastal/Shorelines-updated.htm WWW:LINK-1.0-http--link Source Citation URL Source Citation URL information 1986 2002
