40306 Guam_CNMI_hydro Data Set Published / External 46673 Guam and the Northern Mariana Islands, 2005 Project Completed 2006-03 This data set contains vector lines and polygons representing coastal hydrography used in the creation of the Environmental Sensitivity Index (ESI) for Guam and the Northern Mariana Islands. The HYDRO data layer contains all annotation used in producing the atlas. The annotation features are categorized into three subclasses in order to simplify the mapping and quality control procedures: GEOG for geographic features, SOC for socioeconomic features, and HYDRO for water features.This data set comprises a portion of the ESI data for Guam and the Northern Mariana Islands. 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. The ESI data were collected, mapped, and digitized to provide environmental data for oil spill planning and response. The Clean Water Act with amendments by the Oil Pollution Act of 1990 requires response plans for immediate and effective protection of sensitive resources. 1788 Prepared by Research Planning, Inc., Columbia, South Carolina for the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), National Ocean Service, Office of Response and Restoration, Hazardous Materials Response Division, Seattle, Washington; Coral Reef Conservation Program, Silver Spring, Maryland; and Pacific Services Center, Honolulu, Hawaii.

Distribution formats include a Geodatabase; ARC export, MOSS, and Shape files; and MARPLOT map folders. An ArcMap .mxd file, an ArcView 3.x ESI project, and an ESI_Viewer product are also included on the distribution CDs for ease of use of the ESI data. The database files are distributed both in the NOAA standard relational database format (see NOAA Technical Memorandum NOS ORCA 115) and in a simplified desktop flat file format. This metadata document includes information on both of these database formats.; None DO NOT USE MAPS FOR NAVIGATIONAL PURPOSES.Besides the above warning, there are no use constraints on these data. Note that the ESI database should not be used to the exclusion of other pertinent data or information held by state or federal agencies or other organizations. Likewise, information contained in the database cannot be used in place of consultations with environmental, natural resource, and cultural resource agencies, or in place of field surveys. Recognize that the information contained in the ESI database represents known concentration areas or occurrences of natural, cultural, and human-use resources, but does not necessarily represent the full distribution or range of each species or resource. This is particularly important to recognize when considering potential impacts to protected resources, such as endangered species, wetlands, etc. Acknowledgment of the originators, publishers, contributors, and sources listed would be appreciated in products derived from these data. https://response.restoration.noaa.gov/oil-and-chemical-spills/oil-spills/download-esi-maps-and-gis-data 2006-03 Position ESI Program Manager Guam_2005_GDB.zip ESRI File Geodatabase https://response.restoration.noaa.gov/esi Online Resource 2006-03 Date that the source FGDC record was last modified. 2017-04-05 Converted from Content Standards for Digital Geospatial Metadata (version FGDC-STD-001-1998) using 'fgdc_to_inport_xml.pl' script.

The software packages used to develop the atlas are Environmental Systems Research Institute's ARC/INFO(r) (version 8.3) and SQL SERVER(r) (version 7.0). The hardware configuration is PC's with Windows Operating System (NT4.0/2000).The Spatial_Data_Organization Information section refers only to the source files in the ARC export format. The following files are included in the data set: bentpt.e00, birds.e00, esi.e00, fish.e00, habitats.e00, hydro.e00, index.e00, invert.e00, m_mammal.e00, mgt.e00, reptiles.e00, socecon.e00, vessels.e00, wetlands.e00. Associated relational and desktop data tables provided in Arc export and text format are bio_lut, biofile, biores, breed, breed_dt, seasonal, soc_dat, soc_lut, sources, species, and status. A multi-stage error checking process is used to verify both attribute accuracy and logical consistency throughout data production. The process includes a standardized data entry methodology, hardcopy data review by in-house and external resource experts, a final Quality Assurance/Quality Control (QA/QC) process, and multiple automated logical consistency checks. Quantitative data (such as densities, counts, abundances, or concentrations) provided by resource experts for inclusion in the data set may vary widely in attribute accuracy, depending upon the methodology used to collect and compile such data. For a more detailed evaluation of source data attribute accuracy, contact the sources listed in the Lineage section. The HYDROdata set was developed from pre-existing digital data and reflects the positional accuracy of these original data. The horizontal positional accuracy of the 1:24,000 and 1:25,000 U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) topographic quads should conform to National Map Accuracy Standards at scales of 1:24,000 and 1:25,000. See the Lineage and Process_Description sections for more information on the original source data and how these data were integrated or manipulated to create the final data set. These data represent linear and polygonal hydrography for Guam and the Northern Mariana Islands. A multi-stage error checking process, described in the above Attribute_Accuracy_Report, is used to verify both attribute accuracy and logical consistency throughout data production. This process includes multiple automated logical consistency checks that test the files for missing or duplicate data, rules for proper coding, GIS topological consistencies (such as dangles, unnecessary nodes, etc.), and SQL SERVER(r) to ARC/INFO(r) consistencies. A final review is made by the GIS manager, where the data are written to CD-ROM and the metadata are written. After the data are delivered to NOAA, they are again subjected to a number of quality and consistency checks. 2000-2003 IKONOS IMAGERY NOAA - COASTAL SERVICES CENTER 2003-01-01 Range 2000 2003 3780 HYDRO INFORMATION | Source Geospatial Form: raster digital data | Type of Source Media: online 7.5" TOPOGRAPHIC QUADRANGLES U.S. GEOLOGICAL SURVEY (USGS) 2000-01-01 Range 1999 2000 HYDRO INFORMATION | Source Geospatial Form: HARDCOPY MAP | Type of Source Media: paper STUDY AREA INDEX RESEARCH PLANNING, INC. 2004-01-01 Discrete 2004 24000 HYDRO INFORMATION | Source Geospatial Form: vector digital data | Type of Source Media: disc VECTORIZED SHORELINE OF GUAM AND THE MARIANA ISLANDS NOAA - COASTAL SERVICES CENTER 2003-01-01 Range 2000 2003 3780 HYDRO INFORMATION | Source Geospatial Form: vector digital data | Type of Source Media: online 1 The shoreline was derived primarily from digital coastline data originating from the NOAA Coastal Services Center (CSC), Charleston, South Carolina. CSC digitized the shoreline from georeferenced Ikonos imagery dating from 2000 to 2003. Some small islands missing from these data were digitized by Research Planning, Inc., directly from the georeferenced Ikonos imagery. Other minor gaps in the data set were digitized from U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) digital raster graphics (DRGs).The above digital and/or hardcopy sources were compiled to create the HYDRO data layer. Depending on the type of source data, three general approaches are used for compiling the data layer: (1) hardcopy maps are digitized at their source scale; (2) digital data layers are evaluated and used "as is" or integrated with the hardcopy data sources; and (3) overflight changes are digitized from the scanned and registered hardcopy field maps or aerial photography. After the initial shoreline classification, these data are edgematched and checked for logical consistency errors. Review maps are plotted at 1:24,000 scale for verification of polygonal and linear attributes. See the Lineage section for additional information on the type of source data for this data layer. The compiled ESI, biology, and human-use data are plotted onto hardcopy draft maps. Following the delivery of draft maps to the participating resource experts, a second set of interviews is conducted to review the maps. If necessary, edits to the HYDRO data layer are made based on the recommendations of the resource experts, and final hardcopy maps and digital data are created. 2005-08-01T00:00:00 42821 Entity 42822 Entity 42823 Entity 42819 Entity 42820 Entity 42824 Entity gov.noaa.nmfs.inport:40306 Tyler Christensen 2017-04-05T14:50:59 SysAdmin InPortAdmin 2026-07-09T18:26:02 2018-02-08 Office of Response and Restoration ORR 1002 Public No No 2018-02-08 1 Year 2019-02-08
