   <dcterms:abstract>This data set contains sensitive biological resource data for sea turtles, estuarine turtles, and rare reptiles and amphibians in Maryland.  Vector polygons in this data set represent turtle and other rare reptile/amphibian distribution and nesting areas. Species-specific abundance, seasonality, status, life history, and source information are stored in relational data tables (described below) designed to be used in conjunction with this spatial data layer.This data set comprises a portion of the Environmental Sensitivity Index (ESI) data for Maryland.  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.</dcterms:abstract>
