Description: These data have been created to represent General/Suggested Oil Spill Protective Booming Strategies designed to protect areas that are environmentally and economically sensitive to oil and hazardous material spills (Oil Spill Sensitive Areas). These data were originally created and assembled by the NOAA Scientific Support Coordinator for US Coast Guard District Seven in circa 1992-1993 in cooperation with local Area Committees in accordance with regulations set forth by the National Response Plan of the Oil Pollution Act of 1990. They were provided to FWC-FWRI (Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission - Fish and Wildlife Research Institute, (at that time known as the Florida Marine Research Institute) in the fall of 2003 as paper maps and PDF maps for each of the US Coast Guard's Marine Safety Office (MSO) Areas of Responsibility (Captain of the Port Zones for Miami (at that time consisting of both what are now known as Sector Miami and Sector Key West), Tampa (now Sector Saint Petersburg), Jacksonville, Savannah, Charleston, and San Juan (Puerto Rico/US Virgin Islands)). In 1999-2000, FWC-FWRI began the process of digitizing the boom strategies depicted on these paper and PDF maps into arc (line) shapefiles, beginning with the maps from MSO Tampa, followed by MSO Miami, then MSO Jacksonville. In the Winter & Spring of 2003-2004 FWC-FWRI mapjoined these data to expand and improve upon the database so it could be used as a core business data layer for the Marine Resources Geographic Information System (MRGIS) library. Using various spatial coding functions, such as "calculate length" and "build geometry", additional attribute information has been added to the spatial database to generate length in feet and meters for summary and reporting purposes. An example of where this can be useful is when performing a spatial selection a summary of the total length of boom can be easily generated. These data are maintained as a part of the MRGIS Library and used with automated map production software to create new printed Geographic Response Plan maps for spill contingency planning and response purposes. Through the years of 2008-2009, FWC-FWRI partnered with the US Coast Guard and Florida Department of Environmental Protection - Bureau of Emergency Response to conduct a series of workshops to review and update these detailed Geographic Response Plan (GRP) data and maps for revised Digital Area Contingency Plans. The GRP revision workshop attendees were from or determined by the specific Area Committee of each Sector. The process of data entry and maintenance is ongoing at FWRI as of July 2011. Data will be entered and undergo quality assurance/quality control processes before new maps are re-produced for distribution and inclusion into Digital Area Contingency Plans and other GIS and/or map products. A versioned geodatabase has been created in SQL/SDE to track changes and manage data entry as well as digital QA/QC processes, such as consistency checks. A map service has also been created that is available to all the public and stakeholder community to view the latest version of this geodata. The map service displays data directly from the Enterprise versioned database. <http://ocean.floridamarine.org/acpgrp/default.aspx> The spatial data is used to produce response maps and in a GIS (The Florida Marine Spill Analysis System and Digital Area Contingency Plans) to provide timely, accurate, and valuable information to oil spill responders. Maps are produced (as PDF) with the sensitive area sites and protective boom strategies depicted on them. The maps are then "hyperlinked" in PDF to the sensitive area detail data sheets that contain the attribute data for the site in a data report form. The report form contains information on key stakeholders for the area, wildlife resources to be protected, nearby staging areas, recommended protection strategies (a verbal description of the booming strategy depicted on the map), the latitude/longitude of the site, and other response related information needed by first responders. The Booming Strategies have been developed by professional oil spill responders who have participated in the Geographic Response Plan Revision Workshops described. Please see process steps for more information about the history of the GRP revision workshops. NOTE: Booming Strategies were not done at the Sector Mobile (USCG District 7) GRP Workshop. These have been compiled from approved booming strategies related to the Deepwater Horizon oil spill response and are NOT YET approved as "Official Area Contingency Plan" booming strategies.
