Environmental Sensitivity Index (ESI) Atlas: San Francisco Bay - 1998, maps and geographic information systems data (NCEI Accession 0036884)
This dataset comprises the Environmental Sensitivity Index (ESI) maps for the shoreline of San Francisco Bay. ESI data characterize estuarine environments and wildlife by their sensitivity to spilled oil. These data are a re-release of the San Francisco, California ESI digital data originally published in March 2001 (NODC Accession Number 0013224). This re-release includes data in a Geodatabase format with an .mxd and layer files for use with the ArcGIS product line. The .mxd and the layer files were both created in ArcMap 9.2, and will require that version or later for use.
The ESI data include information for three main components: shoreline habitats; sensitive biological resources; and human-use resources. This atlas was developed to be utilized within desktop GIS systems and contains GIS (shape) files and related D-base files. Associated files include MOSS (Multiple Overlay Statistical System) export files, .PDF maps, and detailed documentation and metadata.

Supplemental Information | DO NOT USE ESI MAPS FOR NAVIGATIONAL PURPOSES. Additional ESI maps for other regions of California have been archived at NCEI. San Francisco Bay ESI data are also available in a March 2001 (vs. 3) release archived in NCEI accession 0013224. San Francisco Bay data are also available in an April 2009, California wide, re-release archived in NCEI accession 0052935. DATA SET CREDIT: 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. The original data in this accession were obtained on CD-ROM/DVD-ROM. The original disc for this NCEI accession has been transferred to the NOAA Central Library. A copy of each disc can be generated using the .iso files in the data/0-data/disc_image/ using appropriate authoring software. Additional copies of the original disk may be obtained by contacting the National Ocean Service, Office of Response and Restoration, Hazardous Materials Response Division, Seattle, Washington. Additional ESI Atlases for other regions of the U.S. have been archived at NCEI. |
Purpose | 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. |
