Environmental Sensitivity Index (ESI) Index

This data set contains vector polygons representing the boundaries of all hardcopy cartographic products and digital data extents produced as part of the Environmental Sensitivity Index (ESI) for Southern California. This data set comprises a portion of the ESI data for Southern California. 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. Please note that this data was selected from a larger dataset for use in the San Diego Ocean Planning Partnership, a collaborative pilot project between the California State Lands Commission and the Port of San Diego. For more information about the Partnership, please visit: https://www.sdoceanplanning.org/ When within the San Diego Ocean Planning Partnership web mapping application, clicking on a polygon will present a link to an online version of the map.
