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 a synthesis of expert knowledge and digital data on human use resources. These data do not necessarily represent all Managed polygons in East Florida. 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. 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. This project was supported by the Florida Wildlife Research Institute (FWRI), Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC). 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.

The geographic data layer containing socioeconomic data resource information (in this case, MANAGED_POLY) 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. A complete description of entity types, attributes, and attribute values for ESI atlases can be found in the NOAA ESI Guidelines (http://response.restoration.noaa.gov/esi_guidelines). SOC_DAT table The data table SOC_DAT contains both human-use/socioeconomic attribute data and items necessary for linking the human-use spatial data layers to the SOURCES data table.
