Great Lakes - St.Marys River ESI, 2021
Project
Completed
2021-07
This feature class resides within the SOCECON Feature Data Set of the Great Lakes St. Marys River 2021 ESI Geodatabase. It contains vector points representing Navigational/marine human-use resource data for the Great Lakes St. Marys River System and adjacent lands and waters. The study area includes the St. Marys River at the southern portion of Lake Superior beginning just east of Monocle Lake and south of Iroquois Island ending to the headwaters of Lake Huron.
This data set contains information about the following resources: anchorages, boat ramps, ferry terminals, lock and dam systems, and marinas in the St. Marys River.
Object specific Type and Source information are stored in the related data tables, SOC_DAT and SOURCES (described below). These are stand-alone tables within the Geodatabase, designed to be used in conjunction with these spatial data layers.
This data set is a portion of the ESI data for Great Lakes St. Marys River System. 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.
The ESI data are intended to provide baseline 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. The ESI data may be appropriate for many other coastal management purposes, though the original intent should be kept in mind.
[THIS FIELD IS FOR INTERNAL NOTES AS NEEDED. IT WILL NOT BE VIEWABLE IN THE PUBLIC METADATA RECORD.]

As Needed
Data content is considered static once published. However, if issues with the Geodatabase linkages or table contents are identified, the Geodatabase and/or the associated Map Document may be updated. Assure most current data is being used by downloading from https://response.restoration.noaa.gov/esi_download and/or comparing modification dates provided at this site.
Map (digital)
In addition to the geographic data layers and their associated attribute tables, two stand alone data tables, SOC_DAT and SOURCES, are used to store additional attribute information. The geographic data layers containing socioeconomic data resource information (in this case, NAV_MARINE_POINTS) are linked to the Socioeconomic Resources table (SOC_DAT) using HUNUM. HUNUM is a key numeric identifier, concatenated with the atlas number, making it unique across ESI atlas regions.
The SOC_DAT and SOURCES data tables are described in detail in this document as Entities or "Child Items". See the Browse_Graphic section for a link to the entity-relationship diagram, which describes the way these tables relate to the geographic data layers and other attribute tables in the ESI data structure.

Although these data have been processed and used successfully on a computer system at the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), no warranty, expressed or implied, is made by NOAA regarding the utility of the data on any other system, nor shall the act of distribution constitute any such warranty. NOAA warrants the delivery of this product in computer-readable format. If problems are encountered in downloading the ESI data or with file corruption, contact NOAA (see Distributor).
These data represent a snapshot in time and temporal changes may have occurred. The data are not intended to include all biological or human-use resources present in an area; they focus on species and resources particularly sensitive to oiling. In the event of a spill, they should be used for a first assessment only. The data providers are the experts with regard to individual resources. They should be contacted to confirm if more current data exist or if in-depth information is needed about a particular resource.

DO NOT USE MAPS FOR NAVIGATIONAL PURPOSES. Management boundaries are not to be considered legal boundaries. Edges may have been altered for cartographic processes. 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. Besides the above warnings, there are no use constraints on these data. Acknowledgment of the originators, publishers, contributors, and sources listed would be appreciated in products derived from these data.

Guidelines for developing ESI data content and overview of ESI data structure. Useful for data collectors and users requiring more in depth information on the ESI process.
The software packages used to develop the atlas are Environmental Systems Research Institute's ArcGIS for Desktop 10.7.1(R) and SQL SERVER(R) (version 2019). The hardware configuration is PCs with Windows Operating System 10.
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, 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, check the sources listed in the Lineage section.
These data represent a synthesis of multiple sources of data (e.g. expert knowledge, digital data, hardcopy documents and maps) specific to Navigational/Marine.
For additional human-use information, see other feature class themes within the SOCECON Feature Data Set, including PARKS/MANAGED AREAS, POLITICAL/JURISDICTIONAL, SOCIOECONOMIC/OTHER, RESOURCE MANAGEMENT and/or NATURAL HAZARD.
These data do not necessarily represent all socioeconomic features found in the Great Lakes St. Marys River System.
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, and SQL SERVER(R) to ArcGIS(R) consistencies. A final review is made by the GIS manager, before the final Geodatabase and metadata are created. After the data are delivered to NOAA, they are again subjected to a several consistency checks, and processed into the final delivery format.

Five main sources of data were used to depict human-use resources for this data layer (NAV_MARINE_POINT): 1) digital data from NOAA's Office of Coastal Management (NOAA OCM); 2) Michigan Department of Natural Resources (MIDNR); 3) U.S. Department of Transportation (USDOT) Bureau of Transportation Services (BTS); 4) Michigan Department of Environmental Quality (MIDEQ); and 5) data obtained through Google maps. Locations where commercial vessels can be anchored offshore were provided by the NOAA’s Office of Coastal Management (OCM). Designated public boating access sites were provided by Michigan Department of Natural Resources (MIDNR). Ferry terminal data from the National Census of Ferry Operators (NCFO) were obtained through the US Department of Transportation Bureau of Transportation Statistics (USDOT BTS). Data for lock and dam systems were provided by Michigan Department of Natural Resources (MIDNR) on behalf of Michigan Department of Environmental Quality (MIDEQ). Marinas were located using Google maps.

These data were developed as NAV_MARINE_POINTS within the Great Lakes St. Marys River - 2021 ESI study region, following ESI Guidelines. Additional data are contained in the joined table SOC_DAT using HUNUM as a unique ID, and in SOURCES using SOURCE_ID as a unique ID. Depending on the type of source data, three general approaches are used for compiling the data layer: 1) information gathered during initial interviews and from hardcopy sources are compiled onto U.S. Geological Survey 1:50,000 topographic quadrangles and digitized; 2) hardcopy maps are digitized at their source scale; 3) digital data layers are evaluated and used "as is" or integrated with the hardcopy data sources. A second set of interviews with participating resource experts are conducted to review the compiled data. If necessary, edits to the NAV_MARINE_POINT data layer is made based on the recommendations of the resource experts, and final hardcopy maps and digital data are created.
