ESI Atlases: Sample
(Document format: PDF , size: 2.3M)
Each ESI atlas is a collection of ESI maps within a particular region. This sample from the 2007 ESI atlas for Alabama shows the type of information that is included in each atlas. In particular, this sample includes background information about shoreline habitat ranking and sensitive biological and human-use resources; a list of species included in the atlas; a description of Alabama shoreline habitat types; a map legend; guidelines for interpreting ESI maps; and a sample ESI map with seasonality data.
