    • Chesapeake Bay 2016 ESI POLITICAL-JURISDICTIONAL Polygons, Lines, Points

    Metadata Updated: October 31, 2024

    This data set contains vector polygons depicting locations of U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) districts, U.S. Coast Guard (USCG) districts, county boundaries, Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) jurisdictional region boundaries, Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) Region boundaries, state waters, and tribal lands; vector lines showing state boundaries; and vector points showing locations of coast guard stations in Chesapeake Bay and the Outer Coasts of Maryland and Virginia.

    As a whole, the ESI data characterize the marine and coastal environments and wildlife by their sensitivity to spilled oil, and include information for three main components: shoreline habitats, sensitive biological resources, and human-use resources. The entirety of the ESI Human-Use data layers consists of: PARKS-MANAGED AREAS Polygons, Points; NAVIGATION-MARINE Polygons, Points, Lines; POLITICAL-JURISDICTIONAL Polygons, Points, Lines; RESOURCE MANAGEMENT Polygons, Points; SOCECON Polygons, Points, Lines; and NATURAL HAZARD Polygons.

Management boundaries are not to be considered legal boundaries. Edges may have been altered for cartographic processes. Note that the ESI database 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. Recognize that the information contained in the ESI 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, etc. Besides the above warnings, there are no use constraints on these data.
