Environmental Sensitivity Index (ESI) Atlas: Central California (Including Monterey Bay Sanctuary), maps and geographic information systems data (NODC Accession 0013176)

Environmental Sensitivity Index (ESI) maps have been developed for the coastal areas of Central California from Point Conception to Point Reyes National Seashore. The ESI maps are a compilation of information from three main categories: shoreline types, sensitive biological resources, and human-use resources. The individual map pages in this atlas are divided according to the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) 7.5-minute, 1-24,000-scale topographic quadrangle index. Black and white scanned images of these maps are used as a backdrop for each map page in the atlas. Biological data dates vary from the mid 1990s to 2006, and were compiled in 2006. Data include files for use in desktop GIS systems (shape files and database), .PDF maps, detailed documentation, user guide, and extensive metadata.环境敏感性指数（Environmental Sensitivity Index, ESI）地图已针对美国加利福尼亚州中部孔塞普申角（Point Conception）至雷耶斯角国家海岸（Point Reyes National Seashore）沿线的沿海区域编制完成。此类ESI地图整合了三大核心类别的信息：岸线类型、敏感生物资源与人类活动利用资源。本图集的单幅地图页面均依据美国地质调查局（U.S. Geological Survey, USGS）7.5分幅、1:24000比例尺的地形图幅索引进行划分。本图集的每幅地图页面均以对应地图的黑白扫描影像作为底图。生物类数据的采集时间跨度为20世纪90年代中期至2006年，相关数据于2006年完成整合。本次数据集包含适用于桌面地理信息系统（Geographic Information System, GIS）的文件（形状文件与数据库文件）、PDF格式地图、详细技术文档、用户指南以及详尽的元数据。
