Environmental Sensitivity Index (ESI) of the Texas coast using 2009 imagery

The shoreline of the Texas Coast was digitized and classified to create an environmental sensitivity index (ESI) dataset. The shoreline was mapped using 2009 Texas Orthoimagery Project (TOP) 0.5m imagery at a scale of 1:2,000, followed by ESI ranking of the entire shoreline based on the 2009 TOP imagery, 2008-2013 low-altitude oblique and orthometric aerial photography from Pictometry, Inc., 2011 low-altitude oblique aerial photography from Red Wing Aerials, and field observations.
