Description:
This data set contains sensitive biological resource data for marine and estuarine vegetation in Puget Sound and Strait of Juan de Fuca, Washington. Vector lines in this data set represent shoreline segments with kelp and eelgrass in Puget Sound and Strait of Juan de Fuca. Species-specific abundance, seasonality, status, life history, and source information are stored in relational data tables designed to be used in conjunction with this spatial data layer. This data set comprises a portion of the Environmental Sensitivity Index (ESI) data for Puget Sound and Strait of Juan de Fuca, Washington. 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. See also the HABITATS (Habitat Polygons) data layer, part of the larger Puget Sound and Strait of Juan de Fuca ESI database, for additional habitat information.
