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: South Florida, July 1996 (NCEI Accession 0006539) |
| Abstract: | This dataset comprises the Environmental Sensitivity Index (ESI) maps in Portable Document Format (.PDF) for the shoreline of South Florida (to encompass the coastal areas from the Dry Tortugas, the Florida Keys, Florida Bay, and Biscayne Bay north to Boca Raton, Florida). NOTE: The Ten Thousand Islands region, from Marco Island to Cape Sable, and other areas to the north, are included in the West Peninsular Florida Volume 2 atlas; these data are archived at NCEI under NCEI accession number 0006394). ESI data characterize 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. This Atlas was compiled from geographical and biological data with multiple dates, mostly from the 1990s; the intertidal habitats of South Florida were mapped during overflights conducted from 1991-1993. The dates for the original data and methodology are completely documented in within the included FGDC metadata file "METADATA.PDF" and document "INTRO.PDF". |

| Supplementary information: | DO NOT USE ESI MAPS FOR NAVIGATIONAL PURPOSES. These data were originally submitted to NCEI on CD-ROM. These data are extensively documented with included detailed metadata, a user guide, a map legend file, and separate subdirectories for low and high environmental sensitivity maps. These files require Adobe Acrobat reader 3.0 or compatible software for viewing. Additional ESI maps for other regions of Florida have been archived at NCEI. The original disk for this NCEI accession has been transferred to the NOAA Central Library. A copy of each disk can be generated using the .iso files in the data/0-data/disc_image/ directory. |
