GL_LAKE_ERIE_2022 ESI BENTHIC Polygons
This feature class resides within the BIOLOGY Feature Data Set of the Lake Erie - 2022 ESI Geodatabase. It contains vector polygons representing BENTHIC data for Lake Erie.
The study area includes the United States portion of Lake Erie, covering the coastal portions of Ohio, Pennsylvania, and New York from the Michigan/Ohio border to the west to the New York/Canada border to the east. This data set contains sensitive biological resource data for submerged aquatic vegetation (SAV). Vector polygons in this dataset represent SAV distribution.
Species-specific abundance, seasonality, status, life history, and source information are stored in associated data tables (described in Entity Attribute Overview below) designed to be used in conjunction with this spatial data layer. This data set comprises a portion of the ESI data for Lake Erie.
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.
