Georgia 2015 ESI Lines

Description

This data set contains vector lines representing the ESI classified shoreline of Georgia classified according to the Environmental Sensitivity Index (ESI) classification system. This data set comprises a portion of the ESI data for Georgia. 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 ESIP data layer, part of the larger Georgia ESI database, for additional ESI information.
