Description
This data set contains vector points depicting locations for management sites for Massachusetts and Rhode Island. Management sites in this atlas include military sites (naval stations). Location-specific type and source information are stored in associated data tables (described below) designed to be used in conjunction with this spatial data layer. This data set is a portion of the ESI data for Massachusetts, Rhode Island. 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 MANAGED_POLY (Managed Polygons) data layer for additional human-use information.
