Long Island Sound 2016 ESI POLYGONS

Description

This data set contains vector polygons representing the coastal shoreline and hydrography used in the creation of the Environmental Sensitivity Index (ESI) for North New York and Long Island Sound. 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. See also the HYDROL (Hydrography Lines), HYDROP (Hydrography Polygons), ESIL (ESI Shoreline Types - Lines) data layer for additional shoreline/hydrography information.
