Massachusetts and Rhode Island 2016 MANAGED_POLY (Managed Area Polygons)

Description

This data set contains vector polygons depicting locations for management areas for Massachusetts and Rhode Island. Management areas in this atlas include fishery areas, marine sanctuaries, national parks, nature conservancies, regional and state parks, state protected areas, and wildlife refuges (including NERRS Reserve Boundaries). The polygons in the MANAGED data layer may overlap where an area is associated with more than one agency or feature type. As an example, multiple parks may fall within a county boundary, which may itself fall within a larger polygon depicting the jurisdiction of an Army Corps of Engineers region. 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_POINT (Managed Points) data layer for additional human-use information.
