GL_Mackinac 2019 ESI Polygons, Lines
The feature classes ESIL and ESIP contain vector lines and polygons representing shorelines and intertidal habitats of Great Lakes - Straits of Mackinac study area, classified by their susceptibility to oiling. The Environmental Sensitivity Index (ESI) classification system, developed by NOAA, considers several natural and biological factors including relative exposure to wave and tidal energy, shoreline slope, substrate type and biological productivity and sensitivity.
The study area includes the Straits of Mackinac, nearby portions of Lake Michigan and Lake Huron, and adjacent lands and waters in northern Michigan.
As a whole, the ESI data characterize the marine and coastal environments and wildlife by their sensitivity to spilled oil, and includes information for three main components: shoreline habitats, sensitive biological resources, and human-use resources.
