Prepared by Research Planning, Inc., Columbia, South Carolina for the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), National Ocean Service, Office of Response and Restoration, Emergency Response Division, Seattle, Washington.
This data set contains human-use data detailing designated management areas, including National Park Service properties, National Wildlife Refuges, state wildlife managed areas and reserves, state parks, and Nature Conservancy properties found in in coastal Louisiana and the lower Mississippi river. Location specific type and source information are stored in relational data tables (described below) designed to be used in conjunction with this spatial data layer. 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.
This data set comprises a portion of the ESI data for Louisiana and the lower Mississippi River. The entirety of the ESI Human-Use data layers consists of: PARKS-MANAGED AREAS Polygons; POLITICAL-JURISDICTIONAL Points; RESOURCE MANAGEMENT Polygons, Points; SOCECON Points.
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 efforts, though the original intent should be kept in mind.
This project was supported by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), National Ocean Service (NOS), Office of Response and Restoration (OR&R), Emergency Response Division (ERD), Seattle, Washington, and The Department of Homeland Security, United States Coast Guard Office of Incident Management and Preparedness, Washington, D.C.

Accuracy
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, contact the sources listed in the Lineage section.
Horizontal Positional Accuracy
Spatial components for the human-use data layers can come from expert interviews and digital sources. Most of the spatial components of the human-use data layers are developed from pre-existing digital sources and reflect the positional accuracy of these original data. Some of the spatial components of the human-use data layers are compiled on digital base maps with a scale of 1:24,000 or larger. 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.
Completeness Report
These data represent a synthesis of digital data for management areas, National Park Service properties, National Wildlife Refuges, state wildlife managed areas and reserves, state parks, and Nature Conservancy properties found in in coastal Louisiana and the lower Mississippi river. Polygon data should not be interpreted as "legal boundaries" and this content doesn't necessarily represent all features of the aforementioned types within the boundaries of the Louisiana-Lower Mississippi river ESI data.
This data set comprises a portion of the ESI data for Louisiana and the lower Mississippi River. The entirety of the ESI Human-Use data layers consists of: PARKS-MANAGED AREAS Polygons; POLITICAL-JURISDICTIONAL Points; RESOURCE MANAGEMENT Polygons, Points; SOCECON Points.
Conceptual Consistency
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 several consistency checks, and processed into the final delivery format.
The following applies to features mapped as polygons along the Louisiana coast, in either the PARKS-MANAGED AREAS layer and/or the RESOURCE MANAGEMENT layer.
The mapping extent was dependent upon information availability and location of mapped coastal habitats and shorelines. Sources of data used to depict human-use resources in this data layer include digital datasets provided by the Louisiana Department of Wildlife and Fisheries (LDWF), U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS), National Park Service (NPS), the Nature Conservancy (TNC), the Louisiana Office of State Lands, NOAA Fisheries' Office of Sustainable Fisheries and the Gulf of Mexico Fishery Management Council (GFMFC). Designated critical habitat was mapped for piping plover, black bear and gulf sturgeon. The data were downloaded from the USFWS Critical Habitat Portal. Habitat Areas of Particular Concern (HAPC) for coral were obtained from the GFMFC. Bluefin Tuna HAPC was obtained from NOAA's Office of Sustainable Fisheries, Highly Migratory Species Division. Both HAPC are mapped as ESI type 'Essential Habitat'. State wildlife management areas and wildlife refuges were provided by LDWF and mapped as ESI type 'Management Area'. Locations of oyster leases and public oyster areas were provided by LDWF, and are also included as ESI type ''Management Area'. Oyster leases were merged and buffered by 50 meters to create a 'footprint' of lease areas. Gaps of less than a hectare were deleted and the footprint polygon was matched to the shoreline where necessary. In areas with high densities of lease polygons, their presence is indicated in 'Present throughout' boxed on the paper maps. Contact LDWF's oyster survey section for a list of specific lease owners in an area. National park boundaries were provided by the NPS. Boundaries of TNC properties and easements were provided by TNC. Boundaries of National Wildlife Refuges were provided by the USFWS, region 4. Locations of State Park lands were mapped using data from the Louisiana Office of State Lands and are included as ESI type 'Park'. The above digital and/or hardcopy sources were compiled by the project biologist to create the MGT data layer. 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 1:24,000 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. See the Lineage section for additional information on the type of source data for this data layer. The ESI, biology, and human-use data are compiled into the standard ESI digital data format. A second set of interviews with participating resource experts are conducted to review the compiled data. If necessary, edits to the MGT data layer are made based on the recommendations of the resource experts, and final hardcopy maps and digital data are created.
