This data set contains management area data for National Estuarine Research Reserves, wildlife refuges, wildlife management areas, state/regional parks, state forests, national monuments, and national recreation areas in Rhode Island, Connecticut, New York, and New Jersey. 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 Environmental Sensitivity Index (ESI) data for Rhode Island, Connecticut, New York, and New Jersey. 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 Rhode Island, Connecticut, New York, and New Jersey 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, Office of Response and Restoration, Hazardous Materials Response Division, Seattle, Washington; State of Rhode Island, Department of Environmental Management, Providence, Rhode Island; and The Port Authority of New York & New Jersey. 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 Topic Category Coastal Zone Management Coastal resources ESI Management Oil spill planning Sensitivity maps Wildlife theme Connecticut New Jersey New York Rhode Island 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 The MGT data set was developed from pre-existing digital and hardcopy sources and largely reflects the positional accuracy of these original data. It is difficult to estimate the positional accuracy of such data, except to state that hardcopy data are compiled on basemaps 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 hardcopy and digital boundaries for management areas. Refer to the SOCECON (Socioeconomic Resource Points and Lines) data layer for additional human-use information. These data do not represent all management areas in Rhode Island, Connecticut, New York, and New Jersey. 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 ORACLE(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. Two main sources of data were used to depict management areas for this data layer: 1) various hardcopy maps, including: DeLorme Atlas and Gazetteers for Rhode Island, Connecticut, New York, and New Jersey; a 1999 New Jersey\x92s Wild Places and Open Spaces map; and U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) topographic quadrangles; and 2) digital data, including: a 1988 Rhode Island GIS (RIGIS) digital boundary for the Narragansett Bay National Estuarine Research Reserve (NERR); 2000 U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) digital boundaries for National Wildlife Refuges (NWRs) in Rhode Island; a 1989 RIGIS digital coverage of Protected Open Space in Rhode Island; a 1995 RIGIS digital coverage of Wildlife Management Areas (WMAs) in Rhode Island; a 2000 New York State Department of Environmental Conservation (NYS DEC) digital coverage of State Lands in New York; a 1997 Connecticut Department of Environmental Protection (CT DEP) digital coverage of CT Federal and State Properties; and a 1999 New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection (NJ DEP) digital coverage of State and Federally Owned, Protected Open Space and Recreation Areas in NJ. Management areas were digitized directly off of USGS topographic quadrangles, or boundaries were approximated from hardcopy maps when digital boundaries were not available in the various state GIS management coverages that were used. Resource experts confirmed the accuracy of the boundaries during review sessions. Geographic boundaries for most management areas were provided by the various digital coverages described above. 2001-09-01T00:00:00 Source Contribution: Management Information | Source Geospatial Form: Digital arcs | Type of Source Media: CD-ROM 24000 CT Federal and State Properties 1997-01-01 publication CTDEP 1990 1997 Source Contribution: Management Information | Source Geospatial Form: Digital arcs | Type of Source Media: online Narragansett Bay NERR boundaries 1988-01-01 publication RIGIS 1988 Source Contribution: Management Information | Source Geospatial Form: Digital arcs | Type of Source Media: online 24000 National Wildlife Refuge boundaries for RI 2000-01-01 publication USFWS 1997 2000 Source Contribution: Management Information | Source Geospatial Form: Hardcopy maps | Type of Source Media: paper 77000 New Jersey Atlas & Gazetteer 2001-01-01 publication DeLorme 2001 Source Contribution: Management Information | Source Geospatial Form: Hardcopy map | Type of Source Media: paper New Jersey's Wild Places and Open Spaces 1999-01-01 publication NJ DEP Fish, Game & Wildlife 1999 Source Contribution: Management Information | Source Geospatial Form: Hardcopy maps | Type of Source Media: paper 150000 New York State Atlas & Gazetteer 1999-01-01 publication DeLorme 1998 Source Contribution: Management Information | Source Geospatial Form: Digital arcs | Type of Source Media: online 24000 Protected Open Space in RI 1989-01-01 publication RIGIS 1979 1988 Source Contribution: Management Information | Source Geospatial Form: Digital arcs | Type of Source Media: online 12000 State and Federally Owned, Protected Open Space and Recreation Areas in NJ 1999-01-01 publication NJDEP 1999 Source Contribution: Management Information | Source Geospatial Form: Digital arcs | Type of Source Media: Email 24000 State lands in NY 2000-01-01 publication NYS DEC 2000 Source Contribution: Management Information | Source Geospatial Form: Digital polys | Type of Source Media: online 24000 Wildlife Management Areas in RI 1995-01-01 publication RIGIS 1976 1993
