Abstract

ABSTRACT Sensitivity mapping recently completed for Puerto Rico, the U.S. Virgin Islands, and the British Virgin Islands combines information on natural resources for both coastal and inland areas, covering both U.S. Coast Guard and U.S. Environmental Protection Agency jurisdictions. This planning and response tool includes detailed Environmental Sensitivity Index (ESI) maps for the coastal zones of Puerto Rico, the U.S. Virgin Islands, and the British Virgin Islands. Reach Sensitivity Index (RSI) maps for small rivers and streams in Puerto Rico have been developed, and sensitive biological and human-use resources have been mapped throughout inland and upland habitats for the entire project area.
