<DIV STYLE="text-align:Left;"><DIV><DIV><P><SPAN>This data set contains human-use or management resource data for linear Designated Critical Habitat data throughout Florida. Vector lines in this data set represent resource management features. 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 Florida. 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 RESOURCE_POLY and RESOURCE_POINT data layers, part of the larger Florida Statewide ESI database, for additional resource management information. Environmental Sensitivity Index (ESI) is more properly known as 'Sensitivity of Coastal Habitats and Wildlife to Spilled Oil' Atlases. The term 'ESI' is often used in reference to the whole dataset, but the term 'ESI' is really a reference to the classification system of shoreline types known as Environmental Sensitivity Index, that classifies a shoreline on a scale from 1 to 10 based upon overall sensitivity to spilled oil. FWRI contracted out updates to Florida's ESI data for Southwest Florida except for the Human Use data in 2016. These datasets were delivered as feature classes in region-polygon format that allow for overlapping polygons in the same manner as FWRI's older ESI GIS data (in Gulf-Wide Information System (GWIS) format/specification).</SPAN></P></DIV></DIV></DIV>
The ESI data provide sensitive areas data for oil spill planning and response and other environmental management and natural resource purposes. The Clean Water Act with amendments by the Oil Pollution Act of 1990 requires response plans for immediate and effective protection of sensitive areas. These data also support other related state and federal regulatory requirements for oil spill prevention, planning, response, and restoration.
This project was funded by the Deepwater Horizon Natural Resource Damage Assessment Florida Trustee Implementation Group and was implemented by the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC), Florida Fish and Wildlife Research Institute (FWRI). Additional funding was received from FWC, FWRI. Timyn Rice, State Scientific Support Coordinator (SSC), assisted greatly in all aspects of the project’s completion and served as contract and technical manager for the project. Timyn Rice, Christi Santi, Ryan Druyor, Steven Nicholl, and other FWRI staff contributed significantly to the project, as did many other individuals from state and federal agencies and other organizations. Access to aerial photography was provided by Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission - Florida Fish and Wildlife Research Institute and NOAA. The biological and human-use data included on the maps were provided by numerous individuals and agencies, including: FWC, FWC-FWRI, USFWS, NPS, FNAI, NOAA, FL DEP, USGS, Florida Sea Grant, and DISL. Staff at these agencies contributed a vast amount of information to this effort, including first-hand expertise, publications, maps, and digital data. At Research Planning, Inc. (RPI) of Columbia, South Carolina, numerous scientific, GIS, and graphic staff were involved with different phases of the project. Mark White, GIS Director, was Project Manager. Shoreline habitat mapping was conducted by Jennifer Horsman, Katy Beckham, and Lee Diveley. The biological and human-use data were collected and compiled by Jen Weaver, Seamus Harrison, Lauren Szathmary, Christine Boring, Jeff Dahlin, and Katy Beckham. Lee Diveley, Katy Beckham, and Jeff Dahlin entered, processed, and produced the GIS data. Wendy Early created the final documents.

A multi-stage error checking process is used to verify both attribute accuracy and logical consistency throughout data production. 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. The attribute accuracy is estimated to be 'good' given the years of ESI experience, the data input methodology, the quality control review sessions, and the digital logical consistency checks.
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 ESI manager, where the data are written to CD-ROM and the metadata are written. RARNUM's are defined on an element basis, so 'resources at risk' groupings will contain only a single element.
These data represent a synthesis of expert knowledge and digital data on human-use or management resources. See also the RESOURCE_POLY and RESOURCE_POINT data layers, part of the larger Florida Statewide ESI database, for additional resource management information. These data do not necessarily represent all Resource lines in Florida Statewide.
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.

Designated Critical Habitat was provided by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) as digital linear vector data to form the RESOURCE_LINE layer for the following species: Choctaw Bean, Fat Threeridge (Mussel) (Amblema neislerii), Fuzzy Pigtoe (Pleurobema strodeanum), Gulf Sturgeon (Acipenser oxyrinchus (=oxyrhynchus) desotoi), Narrow Pigtoe (Fusconaia escambia), Oval Pigtoe (Pleurobema pyriforme), Purple Bankclimber (Mussel) (Elliptoideus sloatianus), Southern Kidneyshell (Ptychobranchus jonesi), Southern Sandshell (Hamiota australis), and the Tapered Pigtoe (Fusconaia burkei).
The above digital and/or hardcopy sources were compiled by the project biologist to create the RESOURCE_LINE 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 RESOURCE_LINE data layer are made based on the recommendations of the resource experts, and final hardcopy maps and digital data are created.

In addition to the geographic data layers, two relational attribute or data tables, SOC_DAT, and SOURCES, are used to store the complex socioeconomic data in the ESI data structure. The geographic data layer containing socioeconomic data resource information (in this case, RESOURCE_LINE) is linked to the Socioeconomic Resources table (SOC_DAT) using HUNUM. The HUNUM represents a unique combination of tabular and source information. SOC_DAT and the other relational data tables are described below in detail. See the Browse_Graphic section for a link to the entity-relationship diagram, which describes the way these tables relate to the geographic data layers and other attribute tables in the ESI data structure.
