Hawaii ESI: POOLS (Anchialine Pool Points)

Description

This data set contains sensitive biological resource data for anchialine pools in Hawaii. Anchialine pools are small, relatively shallow coastal ponds that occur singly or in groups close to the shoreline. They have direct connections to the ocean either through surface channels or through subsurface cracks and fissures in the lava flows, and they experience regular tidal fluctuations in water levels. Vector points in this data set represent anchialine pools. This data set comprises a portion of the Environmental Sensitivity Index (ESI) data for Hawaii . 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.
