Title: Environmental Sensitivity Index (ESI) Guam and the Northern Mariana Islands Digital Data Re-Release, April 2007, NODC Accession Number 0033616
Abstract: The most widely used approach to sensitive environment mapping in the U.S. is NOAA's Environmental Sensitivity Index (ESI). This approach systematically complies information in standard formats for coastal shoreline sensitivity, biological resources, and human-use resources. ESI maps are useful for identifying sensitive resources before a spill occurs so that protection priorities can be established and cleanup strategies designed in advance. Using ESIs in spill response and planning reduces the environmental consequences of the spill and cleanup efforts. An earlier version of this product, Environmental Sensitivity Index (ESI) Guam and the Northern Mariana Islands, March 2006, is filed under NODC Accession Number 0002825.
