Environmental sensitivity maps convey environmental and socio-economic data in a cartographic format so that information is represented in its respective geographic locations. The area represented by sensitivity maps can range from an entire country’s coastline to a small local area in the vicinity of an oil operation. Sensitivity maps are not confined to the coastal environment, but they can also cover inland sensitivities perhaps along a pipeline route or an inland waterway.

Through our own in-house expertise and tools we can assist in developing and producing paper-based and digital environmental sensitivity maps using Geographical Information Systems (GIS). As a value added service, Oil Spill Response will keep the environmental sensitivity maps in our GIS system allowing instantaneous, site specific, response advice to be given over the phone to our clients.
