Line segments are classified according to the Environmental Sensitivity Index (ESI) classification system. These data are a complilation of the ESIL data from the most recent ESI atlas publications. 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. This national dataset contains only the ESIL shoreline data layer. 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. Information about other supporting agencies can be found in the original regional metadata. completed Office of Response and Restoration 1305 East-West Highway Silver Spring MD 20910 https://response.restoration.noaa.gov/ WWW:LINK-1.0-http--link ORR Home Page Website listed for Office of Response and Restoration information custodian notPlanned OceanCommunity theme Geospatial Platform envionmental monitoring theme NOS Data Explorer Topic Category Alabama ESI Aleutian Islands Alaska ESI American Samoa ESI Bristol Bay Alaska ESI Central California ESI Coastal Resources Coastal Zone Management Columbia River ESI Cook Inlet Alaska ESI Delaware, New Jersey, Pennsylvania ESI ESI ESI Atlas ESI Maps Environmental Sensitivity Index Florida ESI Georgia ESI Great Lakes ESI Guam and Northern Mariana Islands ESI Hawaii ESI Hudson River ESI Hydrography Kodiak Alaska ESI Lake Erie ESI Lake Michigan ESI Lake Ontario ESI Louisiana ESI Maine EVI Maryland ESI Massachusetts ESI Mississippi ESI New Hampshire ESI North Carolina ESI North Slope Alaska ESI North Slope Alaska Summary Maps ESI Northern California ESI Northwest Arctic Alaska ESI Oil spill planning Prince William Sound Alaska ESI Puerto Rico ESI Rhode Island, Connecticut, New York, and New Jersey ESI San Francisco Bay California ESI Sensitivity maps South Carolina ESI Southeast Alaska ESI Southern California ESI St. Clair/Detroit River System ESI St. Lawrence River ESI St. Marys River ESI Straits of Mackinac ESI Texas Upper Coast ESI Virgin Islands ESI Virginia ESI Washington Puget Sound ESI Western Alaska ESI Wildlife theme American Samoa Golfo de Fonseca (Honduras and Nicaragua) Puerto Rican shoreline U.S. Exclusive Economic Zone U.S. shorelines 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. unclassified NOAA Data Management Plan (DMP) NOAA/NMFS/EDM 69925 https://www.fisheries.noaa.gov/inportserve/waf/noaa/nos/orr/dmp/pdf/69925.pdf WWW:LINK-1.0-http--link NOAA Data Management Plan (DMP) NOAA Data Management Plan for this record on InPort. information crossReference eng; US biota environment oceans -124.784851 -66.94823 24.521139 48.99841 | Currentness: The data are a compilation of datasets aquired between 1996 and 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. Horizontal Positional Accuracy The spatial location of the ESI shoreline is generally developed from pre-existing digital sources and reflects the positional accuracy of these original data. The horizontal positional accuracy of the 1:24,000 USGS topographic quads should conform to National Map Accuracy Standards at scales of 1:24,000. The minimum mapping unit (MMU) of the actual shoreline classification segments is estimated at 50 meters where mapping is conducted using 1:24,000 hardcopy fieldmaps. Field verification has shown that the absolute positional accuracy of breaks between shoreline ESI types with a 95-percent error bound is approximately 58 meters. See the associated regional metadata for specifics about a particular location. Completeness Report These data represent coastal shorelines and habitats classified according to the Environmental Sensitivity Index (ESI) classification system. 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. The ESIL data from individual ES atlases were standardized with regard to attributes, and merged to create these unified shoreline datasets, together representing the contiguous U.S. states. 2025-04-30T00:00:00 Office of Response and Restoration processor See regional metadata for specifics about a particular shoreline
