Description: The CCE research team identified active, licensed New York fishermen from a combination of the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation (NYSDEC) Bureau of Marine Resources’2010 permit records and the 2008 –2010 federal and state vessel trip reports (VTR). CCE used this information to identify interview subjects and organized meetings at times and locations most convenient to local fishermen. Meetings were conducted in 2012 at the following ports: Montauk, Shinnecock, Greenport, Point Lookout/Freeport, Captree, Oceanside, and Brooklyn. During these meetings, a total of 90 commercial fishermen and For-Hire boatmen provided spatial and qualitative data, which represented 36% of the combined active fleet operating in New York’s offshore planning area.A total of 15 meetings were conducted with New York fishermen by gear type. At each meeting, CCE provided a brief introduction to New York’s offshore planning efforts and then distributed NOAA nautical charts encompassing the New York offshore planning study area to the fishermen. Using the nautical charts, fishermen delineated all areas where they fish. For each discrete fishing area delineated on the nautical charts, fishermen also provided details about gear type used, seasons during which they fish, and target fish species. The individual identities of the fishermen were kept anonymous to ensure confidentiality of information and to facilitate useful participation.For a more detailed description of the stakeholder process and the data collected, please see CCE’s Commercial Fisherman Ocean Use Mappingreport, which supplemented New York DOS’Offshore Atlantic Ocean Study.

Description: This dataset defines the focus area for the New York Department of State's (NY DOS) marine spatial planning efforts. The planning area includes waters under the jurisdiction of the state (0 - 3 nautical miles from shore) and federal (3 - 200 nautical miles) governments and is managed by numerous government agencies.

Description: DOS staff worked with NOAA’s Coastal Services Center (CSC) to design and develop a participatory mapping process. Leaders from 30 partner organizations and other knowledgeable individuals were invited to participate in one of five offshore use workshops conducted during the summer of 2011: two each in Riverhead and Baldwin, and one in Manhattan.At the workshops, DOS and CSC trained organizational contacts and knowledgeable individuals to work with their colleagues, constituents, and memberships to collect ocean use information. At the conclusion of the workshops, participants were provided with information-collecting kits containing navigation charts, information tables, guidance for meeting with their members and collecting information, sample charts and tables, and copies of several one-pagers explaining DOS’s marine spatial planning process, ocean uses, offshore habitats, and offshore renewable energy development.Workshop participants collected ocean use information from their peers over several months, and the marked-up charts with corresponding information tables were returned to DOS, representing over 130 records of new ocean use information. DOS digitized the geographic information provided by ocean users and created an aggregate dataset, including linked attribute data characterizing each mapped use area. DOS staff returned to the organizations that provided ocean use information to “ground truth” the digitized data during the winter of 2011 and through the spring of 2012. These geographic data were updated/corrected based on participant feedback.

Description: Long Island currently is home to one federally recognized tribe, the Shinnecock Indian Nation, and on state recognized tribe, the Unkechaug Indian Nation. New York Department of State (DOS) provided on-site briefings to the leaderships of both tribes and received ocean use information from the Shinnecock Indian Nation in 2011. This information was then digitized and mapped by DOS.

Description: A vector shapefile of the preliminary NY Rising Community Reconstruction planning areas. Preliminary planning areas were initially derived from New York State municipal boundaries and US Census place boundaries. Within New York City, planning areas were digitized based on neighborhoods and business recovery zones. Boundaries have been modified from original municipal boundaries based on Community Planning Committees decisions, and an assessment of storm damage/inundation information from Hurricanes Sandy and Irene and Tropical Storm Lee.

Description: In 2011, Governor Cuomo created 10 Regional Councils to develop long-term strategic plans for economic growth for their regions. A key component of Governor Cuomo's transformative approach to economic development, these councils are public-private partnerships made up of local experts and stakeholders from business, academia, local government and non-governmental organizations. The Regional Councils have redefined the way New York invests in jobs and economic growth by putting in place a community-based, bottom up approach.For more information, please click here.

Description: This dataset presents counts of septic systems at the census tract level. Data were derived from 2011 county parcel data and aggregated by census tract.
Description: The Social Vulnerability Index (SoVI®) 2006-10 measures the social vulnerability of U.S. counties to environmental hazards. The index is a comparative metric that facilitates the examination of the differences in social vulnerability among counties. SoVI® is a valuable tool for policy makers and practitioners. It graphically illustrates the geographic variation in social vulnerability. It shows where there is uneven capacity for preparedness and response and where resources might be used most effectively to reduce the pre-existing vulnerability. SoVI® also is useful as an indicator in determining the differential recovery from disasters.The index synthesizes 27 socioeconomic variables, which the research literature suggests contribute to reduction in a community’s ability to prepare for, respond to, and recover from hazards. SoVI® data sources include primarily those from the United States Census Bureau.The data are compiled and processed by the Hazards and Vulnerability Research Institute at the University of South Carolina. The data are standardized and placed into a principal components analysis to reduce the initial set of variables into a smaller set of statistically optimized components. Adjustments are made to the components’ cardinality (positive (+) or negative (-)) to insure that positive component loadings are associated with increased vulnerability, and negative component loadings are associated with decreased vulnerability. Once the cardinalities of the components are determined, the components are added together to determine the numerical social vulnerability score for each county.SoVI® 2006-10 marks a change in the formulation of the SoVI® metric from earlier versions. New directions in the theory and practice of vulnerability science emphasize the constraints of family structure, language barriers, vehicle availability, medical disabilities, and healthcare access in the preparation for and response to disasters, thus necessitating the inclusion of such factors in SoVI®. Extensive testing of earlier conceptualizations of SoVI®, in addition to the introduction of the U.S. Census Bureau’s five-year American Community Survey (ACS) estimates, warrants changes to the SoVI® recipe, resulting in a more robust metric. These changes, pioneered with the ACS-based SoVI® 2005-09 carry over to SoVI® 2006-10, which combines the best data available from both the 2010 U.S. Decennial Census and five-year estimates from the 2006-2010 ACS.
