Endangered Species and Response Actions Dashboard
SessionMeet the Poster Authors
DescriptionThe endangered species and response actions dashboard is an interactive tool that displays the risk of the oil spill response action matrix (RAM) to protected endangered species, while integrating the potential impacts strategy to critical environmental features. This product could be used to inform planning decisions on where booming, skimming, or other response strategies could be employed. The oil spill trajectory model OILMAP was used to simulate an oil spill scenario from the Northern Michigan Area Contingency Plan and the response strategies were downloaded from ERMA for Sector Sault Sainte Marie. The prototype for the dashboard was created as an ESRI dashboard with separate interactive map displays for the OILMAP trajectory results and GRS boom priorities, the location of the federally endangered species identified by a color-coded grid outline and RAM impact on each species from no overlap to adversely affect, and NOAA ESI shoreline type with impact of the RAM on the shoreline ranging from least to most impact. Within the endangered species section, there was also a dynamic counter of the number of grid spaces of endangered species based on the map’s current extent. The shoreline type section also contained a pie chart of the percentage of displayed shoreline type. The ArcGIS Online Dashboard prototype was successfully implemented into ERMA by the NOAA team. Incorporation into ERMA provides a common operating picture that provides spatial visualizations of the Regional Response Team for the EPA Region 5 Biological Evaluation (RRT5BE) report to oil spill planning and response teams.
