Description:

The need for Environmental Sensitivity Index (ESI) mapping was initiated in Alaska in response to oil pipeline activity at the Lower Cook Inlet (Hayes et al. 1976). Since the initial study in the early 1970s, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) has conducted several ESI projects along the sea coasts of the United States. Increased production and transport of oil and toxic substances around the Great Lakes, as well as oil dishcarges from commercial vessels and oil refineries, has created the need for an ESI mapping program for these freshwater environments. The development of a prototype index for the Great Lakes is discussed in this paper.
