Description

This data set contains vector lines and polygons representing the shoreline and coastal habitats for the U.S. and its territories, classified according to the Environmental Sensitivity Index (ESI) classification system. 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.
