ESI Species List

Environmental Sensitivity Index (ESI) maps provide a concise summary of coastal resources that are at risk if an oil spill occurs nearby. Many of the resources are biological--including birds, mammals, and plants. Below you'll find the complete ESI Species List in several formats.

Note: The ESI Species List includes all of the species that have ever been mapped on any ESI map. That a species appears in this list is not a guarantee that it was mapped on a given ESI map, even if the species was present in that particular ESI atlas region.

On the front of ESI maps, locations of biological resources are shown with color-coded symbols for localized locations (such as nesting sites) and similarly color-coded polygons for larger areas. On the back of ESI maps and on the GIS data tables, there is detailed information about the species seasonality, concentrations, and breeding activities.

Downloads The ESI Species List is available in several file formats: portable document format (PDF), text, and database (DBF). The .dbf formatted file can be used in ESRI software, as well as in numerous other databases, including Microsoft Excel. (New versions webposted 11/07)
