GL_LAKE_ERIE_2022 ESI PARKS/MANAGED AREAS Polygons

These feature classes reside within the SOCECON Feature Data Set of the Lake Erie - 2022 ESI Geodatabase. They contain vector polygons representing Parks/Managed area human-use resource data for the Lake Erie System and adjacent lands and waters. The study area includes the United States portion of Lake Erie, covering the coastal portions of Ohio, Pennsylvania, and New York from the Michigan/Ohio border to the west to the New York/Canada border to the east.

This data set contains human-use resource data for management areas (wildlife management areas, nature sanctuaries, fish hatcheries, nature preserves, wild and scenic rivers, and hunting areas) nature conservancy lands, national parks, state parks, and wildlife refuges in Lake Erie.

Object specific Type and Source information are stored in the related data tables, SOC_DAT and SOURCES (described below). These are stand-alone tables within the Geodatabase, designed to be used in conjunction with these spatial data layers.

This data set is a portion of the ESI data for the Lake Erie System. As a whole, the ESI data characterize the marine and coastal environments and wildlife by their sensitivity to spilled oil, and include information for three main components: shoreline habitats, sensitive biological resources, and human-use resources.
