Louisiana and Lower Mississippi River 2014 ESIL (Environmental Sensitivity Index - Lines)

Description

The ESIL data set contains vector lines representing the shoreline and coastal habitats of Louisiana and the Lower Mississippi River classified according to the Environmental Sensitivity Index (ESI) classification system. This data set comprises a portion of the ESI data for Louisiana and the Lower Mississippi River. 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 ESIP (ESI Shoreline Polygons) and HYDROP (Hydrography Polygons) data layers, part of the larger Louisiana and Lower Mississippi River ESI database, for additional ESI information.
