This data set contains human-use resource data for bridges, state borders, airports, aquaculture sites, beaches, boat ramps, commercial fishing sites, Coast Guard, ferries, historical sites, marinas, water intakes, and wash over sites in Rhode Island, Connecticut, New York, and New Jersey. Vector points in this data set represent human-use site locations.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 MGT (Management Area Polygons) 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 Oil spill planning Sensitivity maps Socioeconomic 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.

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. otherRestrictions Distribution Liability: Although these data have been processed successfully on a computer system at the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, no warranty, expressed or implied, is made by NOAA regarding the utility of the data on any other system, nor shall the act of distribution constitute any such warranty.

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 SOCECON 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 expert knowledge and available hardcopy documents on bridges, state borders, airports, aquaculture sites, beaches, boat ramps, commercial fishing sites, Coast Guard, ferries, historical sites, marinas, water intakes, and wash over sites. Refer to the MGT (Management Area Polygons) data layer for additional human-use information. These data do not represent all human-use sites 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. Three main sources of data were used to depict human-use resources for this data layer: 1) personal interviews with resource experts from the Rhode Island Department of Environmental Management (RI DEM), New York State Department of Environmental Conservation (NYS DEC), Rhode Island Coastal Resources Management Council (RI CRMC), National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), and The Port Authority of New York and New Jersey; 2) digital point coverages, including: 1996 Rhode Island GIS (RIGIS) boat ramp and marina coverages for RI, a 1989 RIGIS airport coverage for RI, a 1984 Connecticut Department of Environmental Protection (CT DEP) digital coverage of airports in CT, a 1999 CT DEP coverage of ferries in CT, and a 2000 New York State Historic Preservation Office digital coverage of historic sites in NY; and 3) various hardcopy documents, including: information on the locations of water intakes, provided by the U.S. Coast Guard, Marine Safety Office, Providence, and the New York/New Jersey Area Committee; 2000 CT Department of Agriculture (CT DOA) hardcopy maps of aquaculture lease sites in CT; DeLorme Atlas and Gazetteers for Rhode Island, Connecticut, New York, and New Jersey; 1999 maps generated by Research Planning, Inc. during aerial overflights; 2000 New Jersey State Historic Preservation Office archaeological/historical site maps; and a 1999 NJ DEP Fish, Game, & Wildlife map of New Jersey's Wild Places and Open Spaces. Information gathered during initial interviews and from hardcopy maps and reports was compiled onto U.S. Geological Survey 1:24,000 topographic quadrangles. Digital data was used as it was provided. Following the data compilation phase, two sets of completed maps were sent out to the resources agencies for review, and edits were made based on recommendations by the resource experts. 2001-09-01T00:00:00 Source Contribution: Socioeconomic Information | Source Geospatial Form: Hardcopy map | Type of Source Media: paper 24000 Aerial overflights Research Planning, Inc. 1999 Source Contribution: Socioeconomic Information | Source Geospatial Form: Digital points | Type of Source Media: Floppy disk 24000 Airports in CT 1984-01-01 publication CTDEP 1969 1984 Source Contribution: Socioeconomic Information | Source Geospatial Form: Digital points | Type of Source Media: online 24000 Airports in RI 1989-01-01 publication RIGIS 1976 1983 Source Contribution: Socioeconomic Information | Source Geospatial Form: Hardcopy maps | Type of Source Media: paper 10000 Aquaculture lease sites in CT 2000-01-01 publication CTDOA (Aquaculture Div., Milford) 1978 1999 Source Contribution: Socioeconomic Information | Source Geospatial Form: Hardcopy maps | Type of Source Media: paper Aquaculture lease sites in RI Ganz, A.
