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 HYDROL data layer, part of the larger East Florida ESI database, for additional ESI 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. </SPAN></P></DIV></DIV></DIV> 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. 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 ESI database was produced by FWRI staff by combining the ESI data from the NW Peninsula, SW Peninsula, Panhandle, South and East Florida ESI databases. This statewide ESI dataset includes five merged datasets, each representing a different region of Florida. The Panhandle data was created in 2024, followed by the South Florida dataset in 2013. The Southwest Peninsular dataset dates back to 2016, and the Northwest Peninsular data was created in 2017. The East Florida dataset was finalized in 2020. This database is used in the Florida Marine Spill Analysis System (FMSAS) application and other geo-applications.

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 coastal shorelines classified according to the Environmental Sensitivity Index (ESI) classification system. See also the ESIP data layer, part of the larger East Florida ESI database, for additional ESI information. 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. The spatial location of the ESI shoreline was developed from pre-existing digital sources and reflects the positional accuracy of these original data. 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 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.

Timyn Rice with FWRI served as contract and technical manager for the project. Steven Nicholl, Timyn Rice, Christi Santi, Ryan Druyor, Latosha Thompson, Chris Boland, Ryan Druyor and other FWRI staff contributed significantly to the project, as did many other individuals from several state and federal agencies and other organizations. At Research Planning, Inc. in Columbia, South Carolina, numerous scientific and staff were involved with different phases of the project. Mark White, GIS Director, and Christine Boring, Biology Dept. Manager, were co-Project Managers. The ESI shoreline was classified by Jennifer Horsman, Lee Diveley, and Katy Beckham. The biological data were collected and compiled by Christine Boring, Lauren Szathmary, Jennifer Weaver, and Lincoln Smith. Katy Beckham, Lee Diveley, Jeff Dahlin, and Chris Locke produced the GIS data and final metadata documents.
