The Ocean Archive System searches our original datasets as they were submitted to us, not individual points or profiles. If you want to search and retrieve ocean profiles in a common format, or objectively analyzed fields, your better option may be to use one of our project applications. See: Access Data

| Title: | Environmental Sensitivity Index (ESI) Atlas: Central California (Includeing Monterey Bay Sanctuary), 2006 (NODC Accession Number 0013176) |
| Abstract: | 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. |

| Supplementary information: | ESI MAPS SHOULD NOT BE USED FOR NAVIGATION. This atlas and the associated database were developed to provide summary information on sensitive natural and human-use resources for the purposes of oil and chemical spill planning and response. Although the atlas and database should be very useful for other environmental and natural resource planning purposes, it should not be used in place of data held by participating agencies. Likewise, information contained in the atlas and database cannot be used in place of consultations with natural and cultural resource agencies or in place of field surveys. Also, this atlas should not be used for navigation. Additional ESI maps for other regions of California have been archived at the NODC. In addition to the 41 detailed maps in the atlas, an Offshore Sensitivity Map was created. This map is intended to provide a regional overview of the environmentally sensitive nearshore and offshore marine resources of the Central California Coast, Monterey Bay National Marine Sanctuary, and Gulf of the Farallones National Marine Sanctuary. Nearshore biological data shown on the offshore map that overlaps with the detailed maps are also displayed on the individual map sheets. Please refer to the detailed species group (e.g., marine mammals, birds) and human-use resource summaries for more information on the mapped offshore resources. |
