Massachusetts and Rhode Island 2016 RESOURCE_POLY (Resource Management Polygons)
This data set contains vector polygons depicting locations for resource management areas for Massachusetts and Rhode Island. Resource management areas in this atlas include aquaculture areas, artificial reefs, commercial and recreational fishing areas, critical habitat, essential habitat, fishery areas, and locations for invasive species. The polygons in the RESOURCE data layer may overlap where an area is associated with more than one agency or feature type. As an example, multiple parks may fall within a county boundary, which may itself fall within a larger polygon depicting the jurisdiction of an Army Corps of Engineers region. Location-specific type and source information are stored in associated data tables (described below) designed to be used in conjunction with this spatial data layer. This data set is a portion of the ESI data for Massachusetts and Rhode Island. 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. See also the RESOURCE_POINT (Resource Management Points) and RESOURCE_POLY (Resource Management Polygons) data layers for additional human-use information.
