Service Description:

ESI Threatened and Endangered database

The ESI data contain a wealth of information about coastal and near-shore biological resources that may be at risk in the event of an oil spill. Sometimes the abundance of information mapped may be overwhelming to those who use the data intermittently. The Threatened and Endangered databases represent an attempt to make some of the most critical resources easier to access. Each database consists of multiple layers, each one representing one species that is either state or federally threatened, endangered or of particular concern. Each map object has many important features embedded in the attribute table. These include the threatened and endangered status (both federal and state), the monthly presence, seasonal breeding activities and concentration, as well as the year these data were mapped. This last attribute is important as the threatened/endangered classification varies over time. These data reflect the status of each mapped species mapped during the year listed. There is a supporting source table which provides information about the original data provider. By looking at each species individually, it is easier for the user to visualize where and when a particular species may be at risk or need protection from oiling or spill clean-up activities.

Description: ESI data characterize the marine and coastal environments and wildlife based on sensitivity to spilled oil. There are three main components: shoreline habitats, sensitive biological resources, and human-use resources. The shoreline and intertidal areas are ranked based on sensitivity determined by: (1) Shoreline type (substrate, grain size, tidal elevation, origin); (2) Exposure to wave and tidal energy; (3) Biological productivity and sensitivity; and (4) Ease of cleanup. The biology layers focus on threatened/endangered species, areas of high concentration and areas where sensitive life stages may occur. Supporting data tables provide species/location-specific abundance, seasonality, status, life history, and source information Human use resources mapped include managed areas (parks, refuges, critical habitats, etc) and resources that may be impacted by oiling and/or clean-up, such as beaches, archaeological sites marinas etc. ESIs are available for the majority of the US coastline, as well as the US territories. ESI data are available in a variety of GIS formats as well as PDF maps.
