Description: <DIV STYLE="text-align:Left;"><DIV><DIV><P><SPAN>These data are part of a larger work termed Digital Area Contingency Plans (ACP) and Geographic Response Plans (GRPs) that consist of many layers of data used to produce maps for the planning purposes of preparing for oil spill response in a given region. Shown on these maps are sites identified as particularly sensitive to spilled oil, booming strategies to protect them, staging areas to deploy equipment and personel, areas to collect spilled oil, geographic features and names, socio-economic features and names, and other considerations neccesary in planning to respond to oil spilled on water in a given area. This statewide ESI database was produced by FWRI staff by combining the ESI data from the NW Peninsula, SW Peninsula, Panhandle, South, and East Florida ESI databases. The primary use for this database is for use in the Florida Marine Spill Analysis System (FMSAS) application. The remainder of this metadata document represents only one of the three ESI databases that were used in the compilation. For full data and metadata for ESI regions, please download the source ESI geodatabase for that region from https://geodata.myfwc.com/. These data represent the Geographic Response Plan Map Boundaries for Digital Area Contingency Plan Geographic Response Plan maps. They are designed to coincide with the map boundaries of the "Sensitivity of Coastal Habitats and Wildlife to Spilled Oil" Atlases (also known as Environmental Sensitivity Index (ESI)) for the same region. In some circumstances the ESI index was extended to areas of concern for the geographic response plan that were not mapped in the ESI maps. The Florida Keys are one particular instance where the GRPs were extended to cover all of Florida Bay and more areas of the Dry Tortugas to map and account for benthic resources that could be at risk.</SPAN></P></DIV></DIV></DIV>
