Vector points in this data set represent socioeconomic features. Location specific type 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. See also the SOCECON_POLY and SOCECON_LINE data layers, part of the larger Florida Panhandle ESI database, for additional socioeconomic information. 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. completed ESI Program Manager 7600 Sand Point Way NE Seattle WA 98115 orr.esi@noaa.gov custodian Coastal Zone Management Coastal resources Environmental Monitoring,ESI Oil spill planning Sensitivity maps Wildlife biota environment theme Florida place DOC/NOAA/NOS/ORR > Office of Response and Restoration, National Ocean Service, NOAA, U.S. Department of Commerce dataCentre Global Change Master Directory (GCMD) Data Center Keywords 2017-04-24 publication 8.5 Earth Science Data and Information System, Earth Science Projects Division, Goddard Space Flight Center (GSFC), National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) https://forum.earthdata.nasa.gov/app.php/tag/GCMD%2BKeywords GCMD Keyword Forum Page Global Change Master Directory (GCMD). 2025.

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. Horizontal Positional Accuracy 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. See the Lineage and Process_Description sections for more information on the original source data and how these data were integrated or manipulated to create the final data set. Completeness Report These data represent a synthesis of digital data on SAV, hardbottom, and Sargassum distribution. See also the BENTHICPT data layer, part of the larger Florida Panhandle ESI database, for additional benthic information. These data do not necessarily represent all benthic occurrences in Florida Panhandle. The following species are included in this data set: (Species_ID, Common Name, Scientific Name [n/a if not applicable]): 253, Hardbottom reef, n/a; 317, Sargassums, Sargassum spp.; 609, Submerged aquatic vegetation, n/a. Conceptual Consistency A multi-stage error checking process, described in the above Attribute_Accuracy_Report, is used to verify both attribute accuracy and logical consistency throughout data production. 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. For full lineage source details, please see metadata xml file in the distribution download file. Five main sources of data were used to depict human-use resources to form the SOCECON_POINT layer: 1) Federal Aviation Administration (FAA); 2) Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC); 3) Florida Department of Environmental Protection (FDEP); 4) NOAA Office of Coast Survey (NOAA OCS); and 5) National Park Service Cultural Resources GIS. Abandoned Vessels: Abandoned vessel digital data were downloaded from the NOAA Office of Coast Survey Wrecks and Obstructions database. NOAA Office of Coast Survey Wrecks and Obstructions database data were cross-referenced with derelict vessel data to confirm wrecks and exclude derelict vessels. Beaches: Locations of recreational beaches used for activities such as swimming, sun-bathing, fishing, etc., were provided by FWC – FWRI. Heliports: Locations of heliports were provided by the Federal Aviation Administration. Historical Sites: National Register of Historic Places point (digital vector) data was provided by the National Park Service Cultural Resources GIS office. Staging Areas: Five oil spill response equipment staging areas were provided by the Florida Department of Environmental Protection. The above digital and/or hardcopy sources were compiled by the project biologist to create the SOCECON_POINT 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 SOCECON_POINT data layer are made based on the recommendations of the resource experts, and final hardcopy maps and digital data are created. 2023-06-01T00:00:00 Florida Fish & Wildlife Conservation Commission (727)-896-8626 processor
