Summary

Abstract

The data layer WETLANDS contains arc (Complete Chain) features for the Wetlands shoreline classification and is based on Environmental Sensitivity Index Guidelines, Version 2.0 (Halls, J., J. Michel, S. Zengel, J. Dahlin, and J. Petersen, 1997, Hazardous Materials Response and Assessment Division, NOAA). The ESI classification was performed in July 1998 for Puerto Rico. | Description Source: Research Planning, Inc.

Entity Information

Data Attribute / Type Description
ESI
VARCHAR
The character item ESI contains values according to the ESI ranking of the arcs. The ESI rankings progress from low to high susceptibility to oil spills. The list below includes the shoreline habitats delineated for the Puerto Rico wetlands ESI classification, presented in order of increasing sensitivity to spilled oil: 1A) Exposed Rocky Cliffs; 2B) Scarps and Steep Slopes in Muddy Sediments; 3A) Fine- to Medium-grained Sand Beaches; 4) Coarse-grained Sand Beaches; 5) Mixed Sand and Gravel Beaches; 6A) Gravel Beaches; 6B) Riprap; 7) Exposed Tidal Flats; 8B) Sheltered, Solid Man-made Structures; 9A) Sheltered Tidal Flats; 10D) Mangroves. In some cases, the shorelines are ranked with multiple codes, such as 10D/7. The first number (10D, mangroves) is the most landward shoreline type, with exposed tidal flats (7) being the shoreline type closest to the water. | Description Source: Research Planning, Inc.
RSI
VARCHAR
The character item RSI contains values according to the RSI ranking of the arcs. The RSI rankings progress from low to high susceptibility to oil spills. The list below includes the shoreline habitats delineated for the Puerto Rico wetlands RSI classification, presented in order of increasing sensitivity to spilled oil: 2) Straight Channel with Currents, Low-sensitive Banks (Mud Dominant); 3) Meandering Channel, Sand Point Bars; 4) Meandering Channel, Vegetated Point Bars; 6) Meandering Channel, Sand and Gravel Point Bars; 7) Split Channels With Coarse Gravel, Some Rapids; 8) Small Falls, Boulders in Channel; U) Unranked. | Description Source: Research Planning, Inc.
