National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) data for Massachusetts and Rhode Island contains sensitive biological resource data for benthic species. Vector polygons represent submerged aquatic vegetation and macroalgae, with associated tables for species abundance, seasonality, and life history. This data is part of the Environmental Sensitivity Index (ESI) characterizing coastal environments by their sensitivity to oil spills.
Data format is listed as PDF, which may require extraction or conversion for use in GIS or analysis software.
