This data set contains human-use resource data for abandoned vessels, access points, airports, archaeological sites, artifical reefs, beaches, boat ramps, campgrounds, coast guard stations, commercial fishing sites, ferries, heliports, historical sites, marinas, recreational fishing, surfing, and water intakes in North Carolina. Vector points and lines in this data set represent human-use site locations. 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 North Carolina. 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 MGT data layer, part of the larger North Carolina ESI database, for additional human-use 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. This project was supported by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), National Ocean Service (NOS), Office of Response and Restoration (OR&R), Emergency Response Division (ERD), Seattle, Washington; the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, Region 4: Southeast, Atlanta, Georgia; and the Department of Homeland Security, U.S. Coast Guard, Office of Incident Management and Preparedness, Washington, D.C. completed ESI Program Manager 7600 Sand Point Way NE Seattle WA 98115 orr.esi@noaa.gov pointOfContact ESI Program Manager 7600 Sand Point Way NE Seattle WA 98115 orr.esi@noaa.gov custodian notPlanned Environmental Monitoring theme NOS Data Explorer Topic Category Coastal Zone Management Coastal resources ESI Environmental Monitoring Human use resources Oil spill planning Sensitivity maps Socioeconomic resources Wildlife theme North Carolina place DOC/NOAA/NOS/ORR > Office of Response and Restoration, National Ocean Service, NOAA, U.S. Department of Commerce dataCentre Global Change Master Directory (GCMD) Data Center Keywords 2017-04-24 publication 8.5 Earth Science Data and Information System, Earth Science Projects Division, Goddard Space Flight Center (GSFC), National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) https://forum.earthdata.nasa.gov/app.php/tag/GCMD%2BKeywords GCMD Keyword Forum Page Global Change Master Directory (GCMD). 2025.

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 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 1:24,000. 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. Completeness Report These data represent a synthesis of expert knowledge, hardcopy reports, tabular, and digital data on socioeconomic resources. See also the MGT data layer, part of the larger North Carolina ESI database, for additional human-use information. These data do not necessarily represent all human-use sites in North Carolina. 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 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. 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. Three main sources of data were used to depict human-use resources for this data layer. These included personal interviews with resource experts and digital and hardcopy data sets provided by: NC State University, National Park Service (NPS), NC Division of Marine Fisheries (NC DMF), U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS), NC Department of Environment and Natural Resouces (NC DENR), and NC State Historic Preservation Office (NC SHPO). The 2006 NCDENR Artificial Reefs data inside of the study area were represented with a single point at each reef's buoy location. The above digital and/or hardcopy sources were compiled by the project biologist to create the SOCECON 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 1:24,000 topographic quadrangles and digitized; 2) hardcopy maps are digitized at their source scale; and/or 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 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 SOCECON data layer are made based on the recommendations of the resource experts, and final hardcopy maps and digital data are created. 2011-07-01T00:00:00 Source Contribution: SOCECON INFORMATION | Source Geospatial Form: vector digital data | Type of Source Media: online AIRPORTS 2004-01-01 publication NORTH CAROLINA CENTER FOR GEOGRAPHIC INFORMATION AND ANALYSIS http://www.nconemap.com/Default.aspx?tabid=286 WWW:LINK-1.0-http--link Source Citation URL Source Citation URL information 2004 Source Contribution: SOCECON INFORMATION | Source Geospatial Form: spreadsheet | Type of Source Media: EMAIL BASEDATA.GDP 2010-01-01 publication PICKENS, LAURA (CAPE HATTERAS NATIONAL SEASHORE, NATIONAL PARK SERVICE) 2010 Source Contribution: SOCECON INFORMATION | Source Geospatial Form: vector digital data | Type of Source Media: online CAHA HISTORIC STRUCTURES 2006-01-01 publication CAPE HATTERAS NATIONAL SEASHORE, NATIONAL PARK SERVICE 2006 Source Contribution: SOCECON INFORMATION | Source Geospatial Form: HARDCOPY TEXT | Type of Source Media: online CAPE HATTERAS NATIONAL SEASHORE BEACH SHIPWRECKS 2010-01-01 publication SHIPWRECKS 2010 Source Contribution: SOCECON INFORMATION | Source Geospatial Form: EXPERT KNOWLEDGE | Type of Source Media: PERSONAL COMMUNICATION CAPE HATTERAS NATIONAL SEASHORE RESOURCES 2009-01-01 publication CARFIOLI, M.
