ESI Maps
A main objective of spill response in the United States, after protecting human life, is to reduce the environmental consequences of both spills and cleanup efforts. To do this, it's necessary to identify vulnerable coastal locations before a spill happens, so that protection priorities can be established and cleanup strategies identified ...

Starting in 1995 with the outer coast of California, ESI project members began using a Geographic Information System (GIS) to produce updated ESI maps that are higher in quality and can be more readily reproduced. Using a GIS also has made it possible to distribute ESI information in a variety of digital formats , as well as paper maps. Each of NOAA's ESI mapping efforts is a cooperative effort with the primary State response agency, other State and Federal agencies, and industry. ... [Read More]

USGS Geography: National Mapping Program Standards
Standards set the criteria and specifications to ensure that all products prepared by the USGS Geography Discipline (formerly National Mapping) under the National Mapping Program (NMP) reflect current mapping and data policies and are accurate and consistent in style and content. The standards are essential for efficient sharing of products and to provide information about geospatial data. The following pages describe the standards used by USGS Geography to produce and maintain geospatial data products. Many of the standards are available online from this site, and all can be obtained as printed documents by contacting Ask USGS -- Earth Science Information Center (ESIC) or by calling 1-888-ASK-USGS (1-888-275-8747) or e-mailing ask@usgs.gov . ...
