Description:
Abstract:
This data set comprises a portion of the Gulf-Wide Information System (G-WIS) database for the entire coastal zone of Florida and the lower St. Johns River. These data characterize coastal environments and wildlife resources for environmental planning and natural resource management purposes. The G-WIS data include three main components: Shoreline habitats, sensitive biological resources, and human-use resources. This data set contains the linear ESI (Environmental Sensitivity Index) (complete chains) shoreline classification. See also the separate ESIP (GT-polygon) layer for wetland, tidal flat, and other polygonal ESI features.
Purpose:
The G-WIS data are updated and re-formatted Environmental Sensitivity Index (ESI) data published from 1995-1997. The ESI data were collected, mapped, and digitized to provide environmental data for oil spill planning and response and other environmental planning and natural resource purposes. The Clean Water Act with amendments by the Oil Pollution Act of 1990 requires response plans for immediate and effective protection of sensitive resources.

Shoreline types were mapped during aerial and ground surveys conducted in 1993 (coastal zone) and 1996 (St. Johns River). Conversion of the original classification codes and minor updating based on supplemental data sources (see ESIP) were conducted between 1997 and 2001.

Use_Constraints:
DO NOT USE MAPS FOR NAVIGATIONAL PURPOSES. The ESI and G-WIS databases were developed to provide summary information on sensitive natural and human-use resources for the purposes of oil spill planning, environmental planning, and natural resource management. Although the G-WIS database should be a valuable planning and resource management tool, it should not be used to the exclusion of other pertinent data or information held by state or federal agencies or other organizations. Likewise, information contained in the database cannot be used in place of consultations with environmental, natural resource, and cultural resource agencies, or in place of field surveys. Also, this database and related map products should not be used for navigation. Recognize that the information contained in the G-WIS database represents known concentration areas or occurrences of natural, cultural, and human-use resources, but does not necessarily represent the full distribution or range of each species or resource. This is particularly important to recognize when considering potential impacts to protected resources, such as endangered species, wetlands, archaeological sites, etc. For more information or guidance on proper and improper uses of these data, please contact the Florida Marine Research Institute (FMRI) and Research Planning, Inc. Acknowledgement of the publishers, contributors, and sources listed in the Data_Set_Credit (below) and Lineage section of this document would be appreciated in products derived from or utilizing these data.

This project was supported by the Florida Marine Research Institute (FMRI), Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC) and the, U.S. Department of Interiors Minerals Management Service (MMS). Tara Morgan with FMRIs Coastal and Marine Resource Assessment (CAMRA) program served as contract manager for the project. Henry Norris, Chris Friel, Phil Henderson, and other CAMRA staff contributed significantly to the project, as did many other FMRI staff and individuals from several state and federal agencies and other organizations. At Research Planning, Inc. (RPI), Scott Zengel was the project manager. Lee Diveley, Chris Locke and William Holton performed the data processing under the supervision of Mark White, GIS Manager. Rebecca Cox prepared the final metadata.

Attribute_Accuracy:
Attribute_Accuracy_Report:
The attribute accuracy is estimated to be "good" given the years of ESI experience, the data input methodology, the quality control review sessions, and the digital logical consistency checks.
Logical_Consistency_Report:
The original ESI shoreline classification was completed under a previous contract. In this project, the ESI data were updated to current attributing standards and checked for completeness and topological and logical consistency. ESI GT-polygon data for wetlands were also added to the data set using recent Land Use/Land Cover data and in some cases modified National Wetlands Inventory information. To finalize the data checking process, each data layer was checked using standardized forms by two GIS personnel (a technician and the GIS manager), and each attribute database was checked using several programs which test the files for missing or duplicate data, rules for proper coding, GIS topological consistencies (such as dangles, unnecessary nodes, etc.), and ORACLE(r) to ARC/INFO(r) consistencies. A final review is made by the project manager using ArcView(r).
Completeness_Report:
The shoreline habitats were mapped during overflights conducted in 1993 for the coastal study area, and 1996 for the St. Johns River. The surveys were conducted at elevations of 300-500 feet and slow air speed. A coastal geologist delineated the coastal types directly onto 1:24,000 scale USGS topographic maps, using a standardized classification scheme. Where appropriate, multiple habitats were delineated for each shoreline segment. For the St. Johns River additional hard shorelines backing freshwater marshes were also classified, appearing inland of the main shoreline defined as the outer marsh edge. Relatively simple changes to the shoreline position and shape were made during the 1993 overflights. Where there were complex changes in the shoreline, the most current aerial photographs were used to update the shoreline and habitats on the topographic maps, particularly where new canals and marinas were built. Prediction of the behavior and persistence of oil on intertidal habitats is based on an understanding of the dynamics of the coastal environments, not just the substrate type and grain size. The vulnerability of a particular intertidal habitat is an integration of the following factors: 1) Shoreline type (substrate, grain size, tidal elevation, origin) 2) Exposure to wave and tidal energy 3) Biological productivity and sensitivity 4) Ease of cleanup All of these factors are used to determine the relative sensitivity of intertidal habitats. Key to the sensitivity ranking is an understanding of the relationships between: physical processes; substrate; shoreline type; product type; fate and effect; and sediment transport patterns. The intensity of energy expended upon a shoreline by wave action, tidal currents, and river currents directly affect the persistence of stranded oil. The need for shoreline cleanup activities is determined, in part, by the slowness of natural processes in removal of oil stranded on the shoreline. These concepts have been used in the development of the ESI, which ranks shoreline environments as to their relative sensitivity to oil spills, potential biological injury, and ease of cleanup. Generally speaking, areas exposed to high levels of physical energy, such as wave action and tidal currents, and low biological activity rank low on the scale, whereas sheltered areas with associated high biological activity have the highest ranking.

Horizontal_Positional_Accuracy_Report:
The ESI data uses USGS 1:24,000 topographic quadrangles as the base map. It is estimated that the ESI shoreline classification has a minimum-mapping unit of 50 feet.

Entity_Type_Definition:
The data layer ESI contains arcs (complete chains) features for the tidal flats and non-wetland classification and is based on Environmental Sensitivity Index Guidelines, Version 2.0 (Halls, J., J. Michel, S. Zengel, J. Dahlin, and J. Petersen, 1997, Hazardous Materials Response and Assessment Division, NOAA), and the MMS Gulf-Wide Information System (G-WIS) Database Specifications Manual (1996). The ESI classification was performed in 1993 (coastal zone) and 1996 (St. Johns River) under previous contracts. The digital coastal shoreline was provided by FMRI. The digital St. Johns River shoreline was developed from St. Johns Water Management District 1990 LULC data.

The item ESI contains values representing the ESI shoreline type (shoreline habitat type). In many cases shorelines are ranked with multiple codes such as 6B/3A (listed landward to seaward from left to right). The first number is the most landward shoreline type, riprap, with fine- to medium-grained sand beaches being the shoreline type closest to the water. Linear shoreline types for this data set are listed below
