Resource Description: NODC accession number 0064870
Online Links:
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 in partnership with Federal, state and local agencies for individual states.
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.
Are there legal restrictions on access or use of the data?
- Access_Constraints:
- None. The National Ocean Service, Office of Response and Restoration, Hazardous Materials Response Division, Seattle, Washington and/or the NOAA National Oceanographic Data Center would appreciate acknowledgment as data originators and/or data source as applicable.
- Use_Constraints:
- DO NOT USE MAPS FOR NAVIGATIONAL PURPOSES. 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.
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. NOAA warrants the delivery of this product in computer-readable format, and will offer a replacement copy of the product when the product is determined unreadable by computer input peripherals, or when the physical medium is delivered in damaged condition.

Environmental Sensitivity Index (ESI) maps and data can be downloaded for free from NOAA sites in a variety of formats. (Alternately, users can purchase an ESI CD/DVD with all of the formats that are available for that atlas of ESI maps.)Geodatabase Data and ESI Viewers - From the NOAA/ORR site (//response.restoration.noaa.gov/), users can download two types of ESI products: 1)Geodatabase Data. Download the latest version of ESI GIS data in the geodatabase format (for use in ESRI's ArcMap product). 2)ESI Viewers. Download the latest version of this freeware mapping and database engine, which allows users to view, print, and run simple queries on the ESI data. Both Macintosh and Windows formats are available. PDF Maps and GIS Data - From NOAA's National Ocean Service spatial data collection, Data Explorer [leaves ORR site], you can download electronic versions of the ESI atlases that are available on CD/DVD. These downloads include the entire contents of the ESI CD/DVD: ESI maps in PDF format, ESI data in GIS formats, and useful ESI resources. Review the ESI availability page to find out what formats are available for the desired region area.
