GL_StClair_Detroit_River 2019 ESI RESOURCE MANAGEMENT Polygons, Points

These feature classes reside within the SOCECON Feature Data Set of the Great Lakes - St. Clair / Detroit River System 2019 ESI geodatabase. They contain vector polygons and points representing resource management human-use data for the St. Clair / Detroit River System in southeastern Michigan. The study area includes a small portion of southern Lake Huron at its outlet, the St. Clair River (which flows out of Lake Huron), Lake St. Clair, the Detroit River (which flows into Lake Erie), a small portion of western Lake Erie, and adjacent lands and waters. These data sets contain information about the following resources: POINTS- artificial reefs, invasive species, mine sites, recreational fishing locations, repeated measurement sites, subsistence, and water intakes; POLYGONS- critical habitats, essential habitats, and fishery management areas. Object specific Type and Source information are stored in the related data tables, SOC_DAT and SOURCES (described below). These are stand-alone tables within the Geodatabase, designed to be used in conjunction with these spatial data layers. This data set is a portion of the ESI data for the St. Clair / Detroit River System. 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.
