Vector polygons in this data set represent seagrass, coral, and hard-bottom community distribution. Species specific abundance, seasonality, status, life history, and source information are stored in relational data tables (described below) designed to be used in conjunction with this spatial data layer. This data set comprises a portion of the ESI data for Florida. ESI data characterize the marine and coastal environments and wildlife by their sensitivity to spilled oil. The ESI data include information for three main components: shoreline habitats, sensitive biological resources, and human-use resources. Environmental Sensitivity Index (ESI) is more properly known as 'Sensitivity of Coastal Habitats and Wildlife to Spilled Oil' Atlases. The term 'ESI' is often used in reference to the whole dataset, but the term 'ESI' is really a reference to the classification system of shoreline types known as Environmental Sensitivity Index, that classifies a shoreline on a scale from 1 to 10 based upon overall sensitivity to spilled oil. FWRI contracted out updates for the East Florida ESI area of interest, with the exception of Human Use data, in 2019. These datasets were delivered as feature classes in overlapping-polygon format following the NOAA ESI Data Standard. The East Florida ESI data format is consistent with the previously delivered ESI data.\r\n \r\n \r\n The ESI data provide sensitive areas data for oil spill planning and response and other environmental management 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 areas. These data also support other related state and federal regulatory requirements for oil spill prevention, planning, response, and restoration.\r\n \r\n \r\n This project was supported by the Florida Wildlife Research Institute (FWRI), Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC). Timyn Rice with FWRI served as contract and technical manager for the project. Timyn Rice, Christi Santi, Ryan Druyor, Latosha Thompson, Chris Boland, Ryan Druyor and other FWRI staff contributed significantly to the project, as did many other individuals from several state and federal agencies and other organizations. At Research Planning, Inc. in Columbia, South Carolina, numerous scientific and staff were involved with different phases of the project. Mark White, GIS Director, and Christine Boring, Biology Dept. Manager, were co-Project Managers. The ESI shoreline was classified by Jennifer Horsman, Lee Diveley, and Katy Beckham. The biological data were collected and compiled by Christine Boring, Lauren Szathmary, Jennifer Weaver, and Lincoln Smith. Katy Beckham, Lee Diveley, Jeff Dahlin, and Chris Locke produced the GIS data and final metadata documents.\r\n \r\n \r\n completed\r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n ESI Program Manager\r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n 7600 Sand Point Way NE\r\n \r\n \r\n Seattle\r\n \r\n \r\n WA\r\n \r\n \r\n 98115\r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n orr.esi@noaa.gov\r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n pointOfContact\r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n ESI Program Manager\r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n 7600 Sand Point Way NE\r\n \r\n \r\n Seattle\r\n \r\n \r\n WA\r\n \r\n \r\n 98115\r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n orr.esi@noaa.gov\r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n custodian\r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n asNeeded\r\n \r\n \r\n A 5-year update cycle is planned with some maintenance and field verification likely on an annual basis\r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n https://response.restoration.noaa.gov/sites/default/files/ESI-Browse-Graphic.pdf\r\n \r\n \r\n Depicts the relationships between the spatial data layers and the attribute data tables for the Northwest Peninsular Florida ESI data.\r\n \r\n \r\n pdf\r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n EARTH SCIENCE > BIOLOGICAL CLASSIFICATION > ANIMALS/VERTEBRATES > FISH\r\n \r\n \r\n EARTH SCIENCE > HUMAN DIMENSIONS > ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS > OIL SPILLS\r\n \r\n \r\n theme\r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n Global Change Master Directory (GCMD) Science Keywords\r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n 17.0\r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n CONTINENT > NORTH AMERICA > UNITED STATES OF AMERICA > FLORIDA\r\n \r\n \r\n OCEAN > ATLANTIC OCEAN > NORTH ATLANTIC OCEAN > GULF OF AMERICA\r\n \r\n \r\n place\r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n Global Change Master Directory (GCMD) Location Keywords\r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n 20.8\r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n Coastal Resources\r\n \r\n \r\n Coastal Zone Management\r\n \r\n \r\n ESI\r\n \r\n \r\n Environmental Monitoring\r\n \r\n \r\n Environmental Sensitivity Index\r\n \r\n \r\n Fish\r\n \r\n \r\n Oil spill planning\r\n \r\n \r\n Sensitivity maps\r\n \r\n \r\n theme\r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n Atlantic Ocean\r\n \r\n \r\n East Florida\r\n \r\n \r\n Florida\r\n \r\n \r\n Gulf of Mexico\r\n \r\n \r\n place\r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n DOC/NOAA/NOS/ORR > Office of Response and Restoration, National Ocean Service, NOAA, U.S. Department of Commerce\r\n \r\n \r\n dataCentre\r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n Global Change Master Directory (GCMD) Data Center Keywords\r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n 2017-04-24\r\n \r\n \r\n publication\r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n 8.5\r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n Earth Science Data and Information System, Earth Science Projects Division, Goddard Space Flight Center (GSFC), National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA)\r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n https://forum.earthdata.nasa.gov/app.php/tag/GCMD%2BKeywords\r\n \r\n \r\n GCMD Keyword Forum Page\r\n \r\n \r\n Global Change Master Directory (GCMD). 2024.

The process includes a standardized data entry methodology, data review by in-house and external resource experts, a final Quality Assurance/Quality Control (QA/QC) process, and multiple automated logical consistency checks. Quantitative data (such as densities, counts, abundances, or concentrations) provided by resource experts for inclusion in the data set may vary widely in attribute accuracy, depending upon the methodology used to collect and compile such data. For a more detailed evaluation of source data attribute accuracy, contact the sources listed in the Lineage section. 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.\r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n Horizontal Positional Accuracy\r\n \r\n \r\n Spatial components for the biological data layers can come from expert interviews, hardcopy, or digital sources. Some of the spatial components of the biological data layers may have been developed using regional experts who estimate concentration areas. It is difficult to estimate the positional accuracy of such data, except to state that they are compiled on hardcopy base maps with a scale of 1:24,000. Some of the spatial components of the biological data sets are developed from pre-existing digital or hardcopy sources and reflect the positional accuracy of these original data. Note that biological resource data by their very nature are considered \"fuzzy\", and this should be understood when considering the positional accuracy of vector digital objects representing these resources.

This process includes multiple automated logical consistency checks that test the files for missing or duplicate data, rules for proper coding, GIS topological consistencies, and SQL SERVER(R) to ArcGIS(R) consistencies. A final review is made by the ESI manager, where the data are written to CD-ROM and the metadata are written. RARNUM's are defined on an element basis, so 'resources at risk' groupings will contain only a single element.\r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n Three main sources of data were used to depict fish distribution and seasonality for this data layer: 1) personal interview with resource experts from NOAA Fisheries, NOAA Southeastern Fisheries Science Center (SEFSC), and Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC); 2) numerous published and unpublished reports; and 3) digital data and maps.\r\n \r\n \r\n 2020-03-01T00:00:00\r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n Florida Fish & Wildlife Conservation Commission\r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n (727)-896-8626\r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n processor\r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n Atlantic and shortnose sturgeon \u00e2\u0080\u0093 Atlantic (FE, SE) and shortnose (FE, SE) sturgeon may both occur in the study area, in the St. Marys and St. Johns River systems. The St. Marys River is designated critical habitat for Atlantic sturgeon. Neither species is thought to reproduce in the St. Johns River; however, they may be found there, and also transiting through oceanic waters. Nassau grouper \u00e2\u0080\u0093 Nassau grouper (FT, ST) were mapped based on information from NMFS (2013) that indicated that sporadic catches have occurred in the southern portion of the atlas area. Giant manta ray \u00e2\u0080\u0093 Giant manta ray (FT, ST) were mapped based on sightings data provided by NOAA\u00e2\u0080\u0099s Protected Resources Division. Atlantic Ocean fish \u00e2\u0080\u0093 Oceanic areas were divided into regions by depth and geography, and species for the purpose of mapping offshore distributions of fish species, including reef fish and highly migratory species. Data on occurrence and abundance of reef fish were obtained from (1) NOAA\u00e2\u0080\u0099s Southeast Florida Coral Reef Initiative (SEFCRI) sampling data for the years 2013-2019 and (2) the multi-agency Southeast Reef Fish Survey data from 1990-present. Species of interest were assigned to polygons representing general areas based on depth contours. Corresponding seasonality information was added based on the SAFMC Ecospecies database. Data on highly migratory species was included based on essential fish habitat designations for these species. Species and corresponding life history stages were assigned to the ocean polygons which overlapped with their EFH descriptions. Nearshore and estuarine fish species \u00e2\u0080\u0093 Fishery independent monitoring data were provided by FWC to map common estuarine and inshore species. Monthly and overall estimates of catch per unit effort (CPUE) and probability of capture from 2013 to 2017 were generated for each species by gear type by geographic zone. In areas with less comprehensive sampling, additional years of surveys were included back to 2009. Economically and ecologically important species were retained in the dataset if they occurred in more than 10% of the samples in a given zone across the entire dataset. Monthly presences were determined by whether a species was found to occur in greater than 10% of catches across gear types for a given geographic area. For the nearshore area out to 20 m depth, fish species distributions and seasonalities were created using data from the SEAMAP program Inner Strata Sampling Data of the ASMFC. Fishery-independent sampling for the Inner Strata Sampling program is conducted in roughly three months out of the year, April, July, and October; however, sampling in practice strays into many of the preceding and following months. Data used for the ESI included the years 2009-2018, and the frequencies of species caught were used to determine monthly presence/absence. Presence within a month was determined by the same 10% frequency cut-off as was used with FWC fishery independent sampling data. Sampling months were used proxies for the season within which sampling occurred. Thus, if a species was found to be present in April, it was assumed to be present in March and May; likewise, this was done for June and August (July), and September and November (October). Freshwater fish \u00e2\u0080\u0093 Freshwater fish species were mapped based on survey data conducted by FWC. Surveys were targeted at community composition by use of electrofishing. Fish mapped primarily include recreationally targeted freshwater species.\r\n \r\n \r\n 2020-03-01T00:00:00\r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n Florida Fish & Wildlife Conservation Commission\r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n (727)-896-8626\r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n processor\r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n The above digital and/or hardcopy sources were compiled by the project biologist to create the FISH data layer. Depending on the type of source data, three general approaches are used for compiling the data layer: 1) information gathered during initial interviews and from hardcopy sources are compiled onto U.S. Geological Survey 1:24,000 topographic quadrangles and digitized; 2) hardcopy maps are digitized at their source scale; 3) digital data layers are evaluated and used \"as is\" or integrated with the hardcopy data sources. See the Lineage section for additional information on the type of source data for this data layer. The ESI, biology, and human-use data are compiled into the standard ESI digital data format. A second set of interviews with participating resource experts are conducted to review the compiled data. If necessary, edits to the FISH data layer are made based on the recommendations of the resource experts, and final hardcopy maps and digital data are created.\r\n \r\n \r\n 2020-03-01T00:00:00\r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n Florida Fish & Wildlife Conservation Commission\r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n (727)-896-8626\r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n processor\r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n Source Contribution: BENTHIC INFORMATION\r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n FLORIDA FISH AND WILDLIFE CONSERVATION COMMISSION - FISH AND WILDLIFE RESEARCH INSTITUTE\r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n FLORIDA FISH AND WILDLIFE CONSERVATION COMMISSION - FISH AND WILDLIFE RESEARCH INSTITUTE\r\n \r\n \r\n originator\r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n 2016\r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n Source Contribution: BENTHIC INFORMATION\r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n FLORIDA NATURAL AREAS INVENTORY (FNAI)\r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n FLORIDA NATURAL AREAS INVENTORY (FNAI)\r\n \r\n \r\n originator\r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n 2019\r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n Source Contribution: BENTHIC INFORMATION\r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n Florida Fish and Wildlife Comission\r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n Florida Fish and Wildlife Comission\r\n \r\n \r\n originator\r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n 2009\r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n LOXAHATCHEE RIVER DISTRICT\r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n LOXAHATCHEE RIVER DISTRICT\r\n \r\n \r\n originator\r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n 2019\r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n National Marine Fisheries Service\r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n National Marine Fisheries Service\r\n \r\n \r\n originator\r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n 2019\r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n ST.
