Delaware / New Jersey / Pennsylvania 2014 ESI Polygons

Description

The ESIP data set contains vector polygons representing the shoreline and coastal habitats of Delaware/New Jersey/Pennsylvania classified according to the Environmental Sensitivity Index (ESI) classification system. This data set comprises a portion of the ESI data for Delaware/New Jersey/Pennsylvania. 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 ESIL (ESI shoreline lines) and HYDRO (Hydrography lines and polygons) data layers, part of the larger Delaware/New Jersey/Pennsylvania ESI database, for additional shoreline information.
