Description
This data set contains vector polygons depicting jurisdictional boundaries of the Army Corp of Engineers, Coast Guard, Environmental Protection Agency, and FEMA, as well as state, tribal and county boundaries; and vector points depicting locations of Coast Guard stations in the New York/New Jersey Metro Area, Hudson River, and South Long Island regions.
Polygons in the SOCECON feature data set 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.
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. The entirety of the NY/NJ Metro Area, Hudson River, and South Long Island Human-Use data layers consists of: PARKS-MANAGED AREAS Polygons, Points; NAVIGATION-MARINE Points, Lines; POLITICAL-JURISDICTIONAL Polygons, Points; RESOURCE MANAGEMENT Polygons, Points; SOCECON Polygons, Points, Lines; and NATURAL HAZARD Polygons.
