North Carolina 2016 ESI PARKS/MANAGED AREAS Polygons, Points

This data set contains vector polygons depicting locations for wildlife refuges, military areas, State Protected Areas, parks (regional or State), National Parks, National Landmarks, National Estuarine Research Reserves, Nature Conservancy areas, management areas, and National Forests in North Carolina, as well as vector points representing human-use resource data for National Guard and National Landmark locations in North Carolina. 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 North Carolina. 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 PARKS/MANAGED AREAS (POINTS and POLYGONS), NAVIGATION/MARINE (POINTS and POLYGONS), POLITICAL/JURISDICTIONAL (LINES and POLYGONS), RESOURCE MANAGEMENT (POINTS and POLYGONS), and NAT_HAZARD (POLYGONS) data layers for additional human-use information.
