This data set contains sensitive human-use data for aquaculture sites, Designated Critical Habitats, management areas, Nature Conservancy properties, parks, and National Wildlife Refuges for the Upper Coast of Texas. 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 ESI data for the Upper Coast of Texas. 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 Upper Coast of Texas 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 and Texas General Land Office (TGLO), Austin, Texas. 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 Management areas Oil spill planning Sensitivity maps Wildlife theme Upper Coast of Texas 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.

Besides the above warning, there are no use constraints on these data. 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 (NOAA), 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. NOAA warrants the delivery of this product in computer-readable format. If problems are encountered in downloading the ESI data or with file corruption, contact NOAA (see Distributor). These data represent a snapshot in time and temporal changes may have occurred. The data are not intended to include all biological or human-use resources present in an area; they focus on species and resources particularly sensitive to oiling. In the event of a spill, they should be used for a first assessment only. The data providers are the experts with regard to individual resources. They should be contacted to confirm if more current data exist or if in-depth information is needed about a particular resource. unclassified NOAA Data Management Plan (DMP) NOAA/NMFS/EDM 40841 https://www.fisheries.noaa.gov/inportserve/waf/noaa/nos/orr/dmp/pdf/40841.pdf WWW:LINK-1.0-http--link NOAA Data Management Plan (DMP) NOAA Data Management Plan for this record on InPort. information crossReference vector eng; US biota environment The software packages used to develop the atlas are Environmental Systems Research Institute's ARC/INFO(R) (version 10.0) and SQL SERVER(R) (version 2005).

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 digital boundaries for management areas. See also the SOCECON (Socioeconomic Resource Points and Lines) data layer, part of the larger Upper Texas Coast ESI database, for additional human-use information. These data do not necessarily represent all management areas in Upper Texas Coast. 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. 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 IDs and RARNUMs or HUNUMs are also generated. The new IDs 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 RARNUMs are also modified to include the atlas number, so multiple atlases can be combined and RARNUMs remain unique. RARNUMs are redefined on an element basis, so "resource at risk" groupings will contain only a single element. HUNUMs are also modified to include the atlas number. Numerous digital coverages were used to depict management areas for this data layer: the boundaries of oyster leases, coastal preserves, and Audubon preserves provided by the Texas General Land Office (TGLO); the locations of preserves owned by the Nature Conservancy; critical habitat areas for Piping Plover and National Wildlife Refuges from the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS); and the boundaries of thermal game refuges, wildlife management areas, and state parks from the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department (TPWD). Expert knowledge from TPWD staff supplemented the digital data. The above digital and/or hardcopy sources were compiled by the project biologist to create the MGT 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; 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 ESI, biology, and human-use data are compiled into the standard ESI digital data format. A second set of interviews with participating resource experts are conducted to review the compiled data. If necessary, edits to the MGT data layer are made based on the recommendations of the resource experts, and final hardcopy maps and digital data are created. 2013-07-01T00:00:00 Source Contribution: MGT INFORMATION | Source Geospatial Form: vector digital data | Type of Source Media: online 2009 FINAL CRITICAL HABITAT FOR THE WINTERING PIPING PLOVER (CHARADRIUS MELODUS) 2009-01-01 publication UNITED STATES FISH AND WILDLIFE SERVICE (USFWS) http://criticalhabitat.fws.gov/docs/crithab/zip/fch_74fr23476_cmlo_2009.zip WWW:LINK-1.0-http--link Source Citation URL Source Citation URL information 2009 Source Contribution: MGT INFORMATION | Source Geospatial Form: vector digital data | Type of Source Media: disc AUDUBON PRESERVES 1997-01-01 publication TEXAS GENERAL LAND OFFICE (TGLO) 1997 Source Contribution: MGT INFORMATION | Source Geospatial Form: vector digital data | Type of Source Media: disc 24000 COASTAL PRESERVES 1993-01-01 publication TEXAS GENERAL LAND OFFICE (TGLO) 1993 Source Contribution: MGT INFORMATION | Source Geospatial Form: EXPERT KNOWLEDGE | Type of Source Media: EMAIL COLD WATER GAME FISH CLOSURES 2012-01-01 publication ROBINSON, LANCE - TEXAS PARKS AND WILDLIFE DEPARTMENT (TPWD) 2012 Source Contribution: MGT INFORMATION | Source Geospatial Form: vector digital data | Type of Source Media: disc 24000 COUNTY PARKS 1994-01-01 publication TEXAS DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION/TEXAS GENERAL LAND OFFICE (TXDOT/TGLO) 1994 Source Contribution: MGT INFORMATION | Source Geospatial Form: vector digital data | Type of Source Media: EMAIL NATIONAL WILDLIFE REFUGE BOUNDARIES 2012-01-01 publication UNITED STATES FISH AND WILDLIFE SERVICE (USFWS) CADASTRAL DATABASE 2012 Source Contribution: MGT INFORMATION | Source Geospatial Form: vector digital data | Type of Source Media: online PIPING PLOVER CRITICAL HABITAT 2001-01-01 publication UNITED STATES FISH AND WILDLIFE SERVICE (USFWS) http://criticalhabitat.fws.gov/ WWW:LINK-1.0-http--link Source Citation URL Source Citation URL information 2001 Source Contribution: MGT INFORMATION | Source Geospatial Form: vector digital data | Type of Source Media: disc 24000 STATE PARKS AND WILDLIFE MANAGEMENT AREAS 2012-01-01 publication TEXAS PARKS AND WILDLIFE DEPARTMENT (TPWD) 2012 Source Contribution: MGT INFORMATION | Source Geospatial Form: vector digital data | Type of Source Media: disc TEXAS OYSTER LEASE LOCATIONS 2006-01-01 publication TEXAS GENERAL LAND OFFICE (TGLO) 2006 Source Contribution: MGT INFORMATION | Source Geospatial Form: vector digital data | Type of Source Media: EMAIL TEXAS WILDLIFE MANAGEMENT AREAS 2013-01-01 publication DAUGHERTY, P. - TEXAS PARKS AND WILDLIFE DEPARTMENT (TPWD) GIS LAB 2013 Source Contribution: MGT INFORMATION | Source Geospatial Form: vector digital data | Type of Source Media: disc THE NATURE CONSERVANCY PRESERVES 1999-01-01 publication THE NATURE CONSERVANCY OF TEXAS 1997 1999
