This data set contains sensitive biological resource data for marine,
estuarine, and anadromous fish in Puget Sound and Strait of Juan de
Fuca, Washington. Vector lines in this data set represent anadromous
fish spawning runs and spawning beaches for forage fish.
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 FISH (Fish Polygons) data layer, part
of the larger Puget Sound and Strait of Juan de Fuca ESI database, for
additional fish information.
