These feature classes reside within the SOCECON Feature Data Set of the Long Island Sound 2016 ESI Geodatabase. They contain vector points, lines, and polygons representing Navigation / Marine human-use resource data for Long Island Sound and adjacent lands and waters. The study area includes Long Island Sound, Peconic Bay, tributary watersheds, tidal tributaries, and freshwater streams and lakes, in New York and Connecticut. Navigation/Marine features represented as points include Access Sites (A2), Boat Ramps (BR), Ferry Terminals (F), Lock and Dam (LD), Marinas (M), and Ports (P). Features represented as lines include Ferry Routes (FR), and State Boundaries (ST). Features represented as polygons include Anchorages (AN). Each ArcGIS each feature class (NAVIGATION/MARINE POINTS, NAVIGATION/MARINE LINES, NAVIGATION/MARINE POLYS) has an attribute table, considered as an Entity or "Child Item" in this metadata record. Location-specific Type and Source information are stored in these related data tables, SOC_DAT and SOURCES (described below), which are stand-alone tables within the Geodatabase. This data set is a portion of the ESI data for Long Island Sound. As a whole, the ESI data characterize the marine and coastal environments and wildlife by their sensitivity to spilled oil, and include information for three main components: shoreline habitats, sensitive biological resources, and human-use resources. Additional human-use information is provided in other feature class themes within the SOCECON Feature Data Set, including SOCECON (POINTS and LINES), PARKS/MANAGED AREA (POINTS and POLYGONS), POLITICAL/JURISDICTIONAL (POINTS and POLYGONS), RESOURCE MANAGEMENT (POINTS and POLYGONS), and NAT_HAZARD (POLYGONS). The ESI data are intended to provide baseline 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. The ESI data may be appropriate for many other coastal management purposes, though the original intent should be kept in mind. 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. 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 asNeeded Data content is considered static once published.

Management boundaries are not to be considered legal boundaries. Edges may have been altered for cartographic processes. 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. Besides the above warnings, there are no use constraints on these data. 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 and used 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 47251 https://www.fisheries.noaa.gov/inportserve/waf/noaa/nos/orr/dmp/pdf/47251.pdf WWW:LINK-1.0-http--link NOAA Data Management Plan (DMP) NOAA Data Management Plan for this record on InPort. information crossReference vector textTable eng; US environment The software packages used to develop the atlas are Environmental Systems Research Institute's ArcGIS for Desktop 10.4(R) and SQL SERVER(R) (version 2005).

The process includes a standardized data entry methodology, 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. Completeness Report These data represent a synthesis of multiple sources of data (e.g. expert knowledge, digital data, hardcopy documents and maps) on socioeconomic resources. For additional human-use information, see other feature class themes within the SOCECON Directory, including NAVIGATION/MARINE (POINTS and LINES), PARKS/MANAGED AREA (POINTS and POLYGONS), POLITICAL/JURISDICTIONAL (POINTS and POLYGONS), RESOURCE MANAGEMENT (POINTS and POLYGONS), and NAT_HAZARD (POLYGONS). These data do not necessarily represent all human-use features in the Long Island Sound region. 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, and SQL SERVER(R) to ArcGIS(R) consistencies. A final review is made by the GIS manager, before the final Geodatabase and metadata are created. After the data are delivered to NOAA, they are again subjected to a several consistency checks, and processed into the final delivery format. Information on human-use features within the study area were acquired from multiple sources for the study area, which includes Long Island Sound and adjacent areas in New York and Connecticut. Navigation/Marine features represented as points include Access Sites (A2), Boat Ramps (BR), Ferry Terminals (F), Lock and Dam (LD), Marinas (M), and Ports (P). Features represented as lines include Ferry Routes (FR), and State Boundaries (ST). Features represented as polygons include Anchorages (AN). These data were developed as NAVIGATION/MARINE POINTS, NAVIGATION/MARINE LINES, and NAVIGATION/MARINE POLYGONS feature classes within the ESI Long Island Sound - 2016 Geodatabase, following ESI Guidelines v.3.0 (Petersen et al. 2002). Additional data are contained in the joined table SOC_DAT using HUNUM as a unique ID, and in SOURCES using SOURCE_ID as a unique ID. 2016-08-01T00:00:00 National Centers for Coastal Ocean Science processor ANCHORAGE AREAS OF THE UNITED STATES AS OF JULY 2014 2014-11-01 publication Office for Coastal Management, OCM https://catalog.data.gov/dataset/anchorage-areas-in-u-s-waters WWW:LINK-1.0-http--link Source Citation URL Source Citation URL information 2010 2013 Environmental Sensitivity Index Guidelines, Version 3.0 2002-03-01 publication NOAA/NOS Office of Response and Restoration, Seattle WA https://response.restoration.noaa.gov/esi_guidelines WWW:LINK-1.0-http--link Source Citation URL Source Citation URL information 1000000 FERRIES OF THE UNITED STATES 2014-06-01 publication U.S. GEOLOGICAL SURVEY http://nationalmap.gov/small_scale/atlas-ftp-global-map.html?openChapters=chptrans#chptrans WWW:LINK-1.0-http--link Source Citation URL Source Citation URL information 2014-06 PORT OF BRIDGEPORT 2015-07-01 publication CT DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION http://www.ct.gov/dot/cwp/view.asp?a=1380&q=259718 WWW:LINK-1.0-http--link Source Citation URL Source Citation URL information 2015 PORT OF NEW HAVEN 2015-07-01 publication CT DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION http://www.ct.gov/dot/cwp/view.asp?a=1380&q=259730 WWW:LINK-1.0-http--link Source Citation URL Source Citation URL information 2014 PORT OF NEW LONDON 2015-07-01 publication CITY OF NEW LONDON PORT AUTHORITY http://www.ci.new-london.ct.us/content/8239/8333/default.aspx WWW:LINK-1.0-http--link Source Citation URL Source Citation URL information 2015 SHIPPING LANES AND REGULATIONS 2001-07-01 publication Office of Coast Survey, OCS https://encdirect.noaa.gov/theme_layers/theme_layers.html WWW:LINK-1.0-http--link Source Citation URL Source Citation URL information 2001-07-11 2015 WORLD IMAGERY BASEMAP 2014-07-01 publication ENVIRONMENTAL SYSTEMS RESEARCH INSTITUTE http://server.arcgisonline.com/ArcGIS/rest/services/World_Imagery/MapServer WWW:LINK-1.0-http--link Source Citation URL Source Citation URL information 2014 WRECKS AND OBSTRUCTIONS DATABASE 2014-07-01 publication Office of Coast Survey, OCS http://nationalmap.gov/small_scale/atlasftp.html WWW:LINK-1.0-http--link Source Citation URL Source Citation URL information 1981 2015 otherRestrictions otherRestrictions Access Constraints: None | Use Constraints: None
