This data set contains management area data for Designated Critical Habitats, Wildlife Refuges, Wild and Scenic Rivers, and State Parks. Vector polygons in this data set represent the management areas. Location-specific type and source information is 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 Western Alaska. 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 Western Alaska 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 and Anchorage, Alaska; Oil Spill Recovery Institute, Cordova, Alaska; Alaska CHADUX Corporation, Anchorage, Alaska; National Marine Fisheries Service, Juneau and Anchorage, Alaska; and State of Alaska - Coastal Impact Assistance Program (CIAP), Juneau, Alaska. 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 Human-use resources Management areas Oil spill planning Sensitivity maps Wildlife theme Alaska Western Alaska 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 sources and reflects the positional accuracy of these original data. See the Lineage and Process_Description sections for more information on the original data source and how these data were integrated or manipulated to create the final data set. Completeness Report These data represent a synthesis of 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 necessarily represent all management areas in Western Alaska. 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-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. Six major digital coverages were used to depict management areas for this data layer: (1) a 2000 Alaska Department of Natural Resources (ADNR) "Administrative Large Parcel Boundaries" vector polygon coverage; (2) 2002 US Fish & Wildlife Service (USFWS) Spectacled and Steller's Eider Designated Critical Habitat vector polygon coverages; (3) a 2002 US Fish & Wildlife Service (USFWS) Realty Division National Wildlife Area Wilderness Areas vector polygon coverage, (4) a 2002 USFWS Realty Division Alaska Maritime National Wildlife Refuge vector polygon coverage; (5) a National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) Steller sea lion Designated Critical Habitat vector polygon coverage; and (6) a 2001 US Geological Survey (USGS) Wild and Scenic Rivers vector polygon coverage. During personal interviews, resource experts provided all coverages, excluding the 2000 ADNR coverage that was downloaded from the Alaska State Geospatial Data Clearinghouse (ASGDC) website. The MGT data layer was incorporated into an ArcInfo system along with the SOCECON and biology data layers, and hardcopy draft maps were created using USGS 1:250,000 topographic quadrangles as base maps. Following the creation of draft maps, a second set of interviews was conducted with the resource experts. Participants who were unable to attend the meetings were sent a set of maps to review. Edits to the MGT data layer were made based on the recommendations of the resource experts, and final hardcopy maps were created. 2003-05-01T00:00:00 Source Contribution: Management information | Source Geospatial Form: vector digital data | Type of Source Media: online 63360 Administrative large parcel boundaries 2000-01-01 publication Alaska Dept. of Natural Resources 2000 Source Contribution: Management information | Source Geospatial Form: vector digital data | Type of Source Media: online Alaska Maritime NWR boundary 2002-01-01 publication Alaska Maritime NWR boundary 2002 Source Contribution: Management information | Source Geospatial Form: vector digital data | Type of Source Media: Email Spectacled eider critical habitat, wintering, and molting concentrations USFWS, Endangered Species Program 1993 1997 Source Contribution: Management information | Source Geospatial Form: vector digital data | Type of Source Media: Email Spectacled/Steller's eider critical habitat boundaries 2002-01-01 publication USFWS, Ecological Services 2002 Source Contribution: Management information | Source Geospatial Form: vector digital data | Type of Source Media: Email Steller sea lion Designated Critical Habitat 2003-01-01 publication NMFS (Juneau) 2003 Source Contribution: Management information | Source Geospatial Form: vector digital data | Type of Source Media: online Wild and Scenic River boundaries 2001-01-01 publication USGS 2001 Source Contribution: Management information | Source Geospatial Form: vector digital data | Type of Source Media: Email Wilderness Area boundaries 2002-01-01 publication NWR Wilderness boundaries 2002
