RPI’s role in ESIs • Data developers for ESI products • Following the current ESI Standards • Customized in-house tools • RPI is an End-User • Use all products (PDFs, GDBs, Tools) • Planning and response • Resources at Risk (RAR) reports - 100+ RARs written per year • Support of STRs
ESI Overview • National Standard! - “spill contingency planning requirements of the Oil Pollution of 1990 (OPA 90)…” • Information for sensitive resources for establishing protection priorities • Shoreline type and ranking based on sensitivity to oil • Biological resources sensitive to anthropogenic disturbances • Human-use resources
3 Main Components ESI shoreline classification Biology data from resource experts and digital data sets Human-use data

Session Format • Shoreline presentation • Breakout session • Report back from breakout groups • Biology presentation • Breakout session • Report back from breakout groups • Human-Use presentation with group discussion
ESI Guidelines: Project Tasks NOAA ESI Guidelines version 3.0 outlines a TASK oriented approach to coastal resources mapping. • Task 1 – Project set-up: Project team calibration and scheduling • Task 2 – Basemaps: Using basemap layers from ESRI ArcGIS data • Task 3 – Oblique Acquisition: Digital oblique photograph acquisition supported by the USCG • Task 4 - ESI Classification: Shoreline integration and classification into GIS
ESI Guidelines: Project Tasks • Task 5 – Biology/Human-use Data Collection/Compilation: Resource expert workshops • Task 6 – Biology/Human-use Digitization: Data integrated into a GIS • Task 7 – Map/Data Review: Resource experts review data during workshops • Task 8 – Atlas Production: Hardcopy Resource Atlases • Task 9 – Digital Product/Delivery: GIS product (data/metadata) delivery & hardcopy atlases NOAA Product Development: ArcGIS and other formats
GOALS • PARTICIPATION • DISCUSSION • Breakout Sessions • Shoreline and Biology • Group discussion • Human-use We want your to hear your thoughts and ideas!
