Entity Information

Data Attribute / Type | Description |
---|---|
ESI
TEXT |
A numeric or alpha-numeric coded description of the shoreline characteristics for each shoreline segment. Shoreline segments can have up to three ESI codes in their classification. Multiple codes are separated by a forward slash and ordered to represent the shoreline organization of that particular segment. The first code in the sequence is always the most landward shoreline type. For example, a saltwater marsh fringed by a sheltered mud flat would be coded as 10A/9A (10A: Salt and Brackish Water Marshes/9A: Sheltered Sand and Mud Flats /Water). |
LINE
TEXT |
Abbreviation describing the type of water/land interface. All line segments that serve as a shoreline boundary between open water and land are attributed a value of S. All shoreline hydrography not associated with seawater (lakes, ponds, reservoirs, some rivers and streams, etc.) are attributed with a value of H. Man-made structures that are not mapped as a part of the contiguous water/land interface are attributed with one of the following values: B D, FN, G, GR, J, or P. |
ENVIR
TEXT |
Abbreviation describing the type of environment where the classified shoreline segment is located. Acceptable values are E-estuarine, R-riverine, L-lacustrine, and P-palustrine. |
MOST_SENSITIVE
TEXT |
If multiple shoreline types appear in ESI classification, this field represents the highest value (most sensitive type); otherwise it is the same value as the ESI field. |
LANDWARD_SHORETYPE
TEXT |
The numeric representation and physical description of the first (or only) ESI type found in the ESI field. |
SEAWARD_SHORETYPE1
TEXT |
The numeric representation and physical description of the second ESI type in the ESI field (blank if not applicable). |
SEAWARD_SHORETYPE2
TEXT |
The numeric representation and physical description of the third ESI type in the ESI field (blank if not applicable). |
GENERAL_SYMBOL
NUMBER |
This field is used for symbolizing the ESI shoreline based on a generalized classification scheme; if multiple generalized types occur, this will reflect the highest value. |
GENERALIZED_ESI_TYPE
TEXT |
The numeric representation and physical description of the generalized ESI shoreline type. The generalized shoreline type classification collapses the ESI scale to 5 broader shoreline types. See the NOAA ESI Guidelines for the ESI to GENERALIZED_ESI_TYPE crosswalk. |
SOURCE_ID
NUMBER |
The SOURCE_ID links to SOURCE in the SOURCES data table, where the source for the underlying shoreline segment is listed. This number should be the same as the SOURCE_ID in the HYDRO_LINES layer for the same segment. The SOURCE_ID begins in the range of 1-100, then is added to the Atlas ID number * 10,000 to generate a number that is unique across atlases. |
ESI_SOURCE
NUMBER |
ESI_SOURCE links to SOURCE in the SOURCES data table, where the source used for classifying the shoreline segment is listed. The SOURCE_ID begins in the range of 1-100, then is added to the Atlas ID number * 10,000 to generate a number that is unique across atlases. |
