This feature class resides within the SOCECON Feature Data Set of the Lake Ontario 2023 ESI Geodatabase. It contains vector polygons representing Parks/Managed area human-use resource data for the Lake Ontario System and adjacent lands and waters. This data set contains human-use or management resource data for thirteen management areas including state forests and state parks as well as Nature Conservancy lands for Lake Ontario.
The study area includes the United States portion of Lake Ontario, covering the islands in New York: Association Island, Bass Island, Calf Island, Carl Island, Cherry Island, Eagle Island, Fox Island, Galloo Islands, Grenadier Island, Horse Island, Hoveys Island, Six Point Town, and Stony Island. Major Lake Ontario bays mapped include: Black River Bay, Blind Sodus Bay, Braddock Bay, Chaumont Bay, Guffin Bay, Irondequoit Bay, Henderson Bay, Little Sodus Bay, Mexico Bay, Port Bay, Sawyer Bay, and Sodus Bay.
Object specific Type and Source information are stored in the related data tables, SOC_DAT and SOURCES (described below). These are stand-alone tables within the Geodatabase, designed to be used in conjunction with these spatial data layers.
This data set is a portion of the ESI data for the Lake Ontario System. As a whole, the ESI data characterize the marine and coastal environments and wildlife by their sensitivity to spilled oil, and include information for three main components: shoreline habitats, sensitive biological resources, and human-use resources.

DO NOT USE MAPS FOR NAVIGATIONAL PURPOSES. Management boundaries are not to be considered legal boundaries. Edges may have been altered for cartographic processes. Note that the ESI database should not be used to the exclusion of other pertinent data or information held by state or federal agencies or other organizations. Likewise, information contained in the database cannot be used in place of consultations with environmental, natural resource, and cultural resource agencies, or in place of field surveys. Recognize that the information contained in the ESI database represents known concentration areas or occurrences of natural, cultural, and human-use resources, but does not necessarily represent the full distribution or range of each species or resource. This is particularly important to recognize when considering potential impacts to protected resources, such as endangered species, wetlands, etc. Besides the above warnings, there are no use constraints on these data. Acknowledgment of the originators, publishers, contributors, and sources listed would be appreciated in products derived from these data.

Abstract: |
This feature class resides within the SOCECON Feature Data Set of the Lake Ontario 2023 ESI Geodatabase. It contains vector polygons representing Parks/Managed area human-use resource data for the Lake Ontario System and adjacent lands and waters. This data set contains human-use or management resource data for thirteen management areas including state forests and state parks as well as Nature Conservancy lands for Lake Ontario. The study area includes the United States portion of Lake Ontario, covering the islands in New York: Association Island, Bass Island, Calf Island, Carl Island, Cherry Island, Eagle Island, Fox Island, Galloo Islands, Grenadier Island, Horse Island, Hoveys Island, Six Point Town, and Stony Island. Major Lake Ontario bays mapped include: Black River Bay, Blind Sodus Bay, Braddock Bay, Chaumont Bay, Guffin Bay, Irondequoit Bay, Henderson Bay, Little Sodus Bay, Mexico Bay, Port Bay, Sawyer Bay, and Sodus Bay. Object specific Type and Source information are stored in the related data tables, SOC_DAT and SOURCES (described below). These are stand-alone tables within the Geodatabase, designed to be used in conjunction with these spatial data layers. This data set is a portion of the ESI data for the Lake Ontario System. As a whole, the ESI data characterize the marine and coastal environments and wildlife by their sensitivity to spilled oil, and include information for three main components: shoreline habitats, sensitive biological resources, and human-use resources. |
Purpose: |
The ESI data are intended to provide baseline environmental data for oil spill planning and response. The Clean Water Act with amendments by the Oil Pollution Act of 1990 requires response plans for immediate and effective protection of sensitive resources. The ESI data may be appropriate for many other coastal management purposes, though the original intent should be kept in mind. |

Entity Attribute Overview: |
In addition to the geographic data layers and their associated attribute tables, two stand alone data tables, SOC_DAT and SOURCES, are used to store additional attribute information. The geographic data layers containing socioeconomic data resource information (in this case, MANAGED_POLY) are linked to the Socioeconomic Resources table (SOC_DAT) using HUNUM. HUNUM is a key numeric identifier, concatenated with the atlas number, making it unique across ESI atlas regions. The SOC_DAT and SOURCES data tables are described in detail in this document as Entities or "Child Items". See the Browse_Graphic section for a link to the entity-relationship diagram, which describes the way these tables relate to the geographic data layers and other attribute tables in the ESI data structure. |

Data Quality
Accuracy: |
A multi-stage error checking process is used to verify both attribute accuracy and logical consistency throughout data production. The process includes a standardized data entry methodology, data review by in-house and external resource experts, a final Quality Assurance/Quality Control (QA/QC) process, and multiple automated logical consistency checks. Quantitative data (such as densities, counts, abundances, or concentrations) provided by resource experts for inclusion in the data set may vary widely in attribute accuracy, depending upon the methodology used to collect and compile such data. For a more detailed evaluation of source data attribute accuracy, check the sources listed in the Lineage section. |
---|---|
Completeness Report: |
These data represent a synthesis of multiple sources of data (e.g. expert knowledge, digital data, hardcopy documents and maps) specific to Parks/Managed area resources. For additional human-use information, see other feature class themes within the SOCECON Feature Data Set, including NAVIGATIONAL/MARINE, POLITICAL/JURISDICTIONAL, SOCIOECONOMIC/OTHER, RESOURCE MANAGEMENT and/or NATURAL HAZARD. These data do not necessarily represent all socioeconomic features found in Lake Ontario. |
Conceptual Consistency: |
A multi-stage error checking process, described in the above Attribute Accuracy Report, is used to verify both attribute accuracy and logical consistency throughout data production. This process includes multiple automated logical consistency checks that test the files for missing or duplicate data, rules for proper coding, GIS topological consistencies, and SQL SERVER(R) to ArcGIS(R) consistencies. A final review is made by the GIS manager, before the final Geodatabase and metadata are created. After the data are delivered to NOAA, they are again subjected to a several consistency checks, and processed into the final delivery format. |

Process Steps
Process Step 1
Description: |
Digital data were used to depict management areas for the MANAGED_POLY data layer. A total of 13 management areas including wildlife management areas and state forests were provided by the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation. State Park boundaries were downloaded from the New York State Office of Parks, Recreation, and Historic Preservation. Boundaries depicting Nature Conservancy properties were obtained from the TNC Lands database. |

Email Address: | orr.esi@noaa.gov |
Process Step 2
Description: |
The above digital and/or hardcopy sources were compiled by the project biologist to create the MANAGED_POLY data layer. Depending on the type of source data, three general approaches are used for compiling the data layer: 1) information gathered during initial interviews and from hardcopy sources are compiled onto U.S. Geological Survey 1:42,000 topographic quadrangles and digitized; 2) hardcopy maps are digitized at their source scale; 3) digital data layers are evaluated and used "as is" or integrated with the hardcopy data sources. See the Lineage section for additional information on the type of source data for this data layer. The ESI, biology, and human-use data are compiled into the standard ESI digital data format. A second set of interviews with participating resource experts are conducted to review the compiled data. If necessary, edits to the MANAGED_POLY data layer are made based on the recommendations of the resource experts, and final hardcopy maps and digital data are created. |
