Description: ESI - Shoreline sensitivity to spilled oil, is a classification scheme used as a measure of a shoreline's "sensitivity" to the effects of spilled oil on that particular habitat or substrate type. The scale goes from 10 to 1, with 10 being most sensitive (eg. suffering greatest long-term impact) and 1 being least sensitive (eg. easily cleaned or suffering only short-term impacts. The sensitivity color ramp goes from hot to cold colors as sensitivity decreaes.

Description: Critical Wildlife Areas (CWAs) are established by the FWC under a Florida Administration Code rule to protect important wildlife concentrations from human disturbance during critical periods of their life cycles, such as nesting or migration. For each CWA, the boundaries and periods of time when portions of the area may be posted are defined in the CWA establishment order. Public access is prohibited within CWAs if posted, “Closed to public access.” Dogs, vehicles and vessels are also prohibited from posted areas. The boundary may be larger than the posted area due to the dynamic nature of habitat structure and use. Thus, the area closed each year may change.
