Northwest Peninsular Florida 2016 ESIP (ESI Shoreline Types - Polygons)

Description

This data set contains vector polygons representing coastal habitats of Northwest Peninsula Florida, classified by their susceptibility to oiling. The Environmental Sensitivity Index (ESI) classification system, developed by NOAA, considers several natural and biological factors when ranking an intertidal range's sensitivity and persistence of oil impacts. This data set is a portion of the ESI data for Florida. 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 ESIL (ESI Shoreline Lines) data layer for additional information about shorelines and intertidal habitats.
