Guam and the Northern Mariana Islands ESI: WETLANDS (Wetland Polygons)

Description

This data set contains vector polygons representing the coastal wetland habitats for Guam and the Northern Mariana Islands classified according to the Environmental Sensitivity Index (ESI) classification system. This data set comprises a portion of the ESI data for Guam and the Northern Mariana Islands. 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 ESI (ESI Shoreline Types \x96 Lines) data layer, part of the larger Guam and Northern Mariana Islands ESI database, for additional coastal habitatinformation.
