Long Island Sound 2016 NAV_MARINE POINTS LINES POLYS

Description

These feature classes reside within the SOCECON Feature Data Set of the Long Island Sound 2016 ESI Geodatabase. They contain vector points, lines, and polygons representing Navigation / Marine human-use resource data for Long Island Sound and adjacent lands and waters. The study area includes Long Island Sound, Peconic Bay, tributary watersheds, tidal tributaries, and freshwater streams and lakes, in New York and Connecticut. Navigation/Marine features represented as points include Access Sites (A2), Boat Ramps (BR), Ferry Terminals (F), Lock and Dam (LD), Marinas (M), and Ports (P). Features represented as lines include Ferry Routes (FR), and State Boundaries (ST). Features represented as polygons include Anchorages (AN). Each ArcGIS each feature class (NAVIGATION/MARINE POINTS, NAVIGATION/MARINE LINES, NAVIGATION/MARINE POLYS) has an attribute table, considered as an Entity or "Child Item" in this metadata record. Location-specific Type and Source information are stored in these related data tables, SOC_DAT and SOURCES (described below), which are stand-alone tables within the Geodatabase. This data set is a portion of the ESI data for 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. Additional human-use information is provided in other feature class themes within the SOCECON Feature Data Set, including SOCECON (POINTS and LINES), PARKS/MANAGED AREA (POINTS and POLYGONS), POLITICAL/JURISDICTIONAL (POINTS and POLYGONS), RESOURCE MANAGEMENT (POINTS and POLYGONS), and NAT_HAZARD (POLYGONS).
