Hydrographic and Impairment Statistics Database: NPS-WSR Westfield Wild and Scenic River

Hydrographic and Impairment Statistics (HIS) is a National Park Service (NPS) Water Resources Division (WRD) project established to track certain goals created in response to the Government Performance and Results Act of 1993 (GPRA). One water resources management goal established by the Department of the Interior under GRPA requires NPS to track the percent of its managed surface waters that are meeting Clean Water Act (CWA) water quality standards. This goal requires an accurate inventory that spatially quantifies the surface water hydrography that each bureau manages and a procedure to determine and track which waterbodies are or are not meeting water quality standards as outlined by Section 303(d) of the CWA. This project helps meet this DOI GRPA goal by inventorying and monitoring in a geographic information system for the NPS: (1) CWA 303(d) quality impaired waters and causes; and (2) hydrographic statistics based on the United States Geological Survey (USGS) National Hydrography Dataset (NHD). Hydrographic and 303(d) impairment statistics were evaluated based on a combination of 1:24,000 (NHD) and finer scale data (frequently provided by state GIS layers).

Biscayne National Park Merged Habitat Map

Biscayne National Park released a draft General Management Plan (GMP) in 2011 that identifies alternatives for future management prescriptions within the park. While these alternatives are focused on enhancing the condition of natural resources, each alternative will impact resources differently. The South Florida / Caribbean Network of the National Park Service (NPS) supported the GMP by quantifying levels of natural resource affected by each alternative presented. An accuracy evaluation of the inshore map produced by PhotoScience, Inc. in 2009 based on Braun-Blanquet histograms and remote sensing data revealed that, with some basic modifications, the map is 86.5 % and 78.9% accurate respectively. This map was merged with an offshore benthic and a terrestrial vegetation map using ESRI ArcGIS v. 10 to produce a comprehensive map for the park. A geospatial analysis based on the final product provided the area of coverage for major ecosystems present in the park. The map was also used to calculate the area of specific habitats impacted under the several alternatives presented in the GMP. The final product is a valuable tool for park managers and stakeholders. Geospatial comparisons with previous efforts can monitor ecosystem change and help develop appropriate management strategies to address present and future challenges.

DENA Wildlife Closures

Wildlife closures protect wildlife and people.

Some temporary closures are short-term (a couple days to a week). An example would be an area where a predator may be defending a kill site. Other temporary closures protect active den or nest sites or moose rutting areas, and may be in place for many weeks or months. Sable Pass is closed to human entry every summer. Visitors, including researchers, must respect wildlife closures. Closures are physically marked on the ground with signs, and maps of closures can be downloaded below. Entry is not permitted into wildlife closures. Researchers must adjust their field activities to another location or wait until the closure is no longer in effect.

Title 36 CFR 13.50(a) gives the Park Superintendent the authority to close areas on a temporary or permanent basis to provide for “public health and safety, resource protection, protection of cultural or scientific values, subsistence uses, endangered or threatened species conservation, and other management considerations necessary to ensure that the activity or area is being managed in a manner compatible with the purposes for which the park area was established.” Unless specifically permitted, entry into a closed area is a violation of federal regulation. This applies to everyone: visitors, park staff, concessioners, and contractors.

Geospatial data for the Vegetation Mapping Inventory Project of Canaveral National Seashore

The files linked to this reference are the geospatial data created as part of the completion of the baseline vegetation inventory project for the NPS park unit. Current format is ArcGIS file geodatabase but older formats may exist as shapefiles.

A final vegetation map for Canaveral NS was created to represent the vegetation occurring within the park during 2012. This product represents the final of four steps necessary to produce an accurate vegetation map based upon aerial photographs. This includes the determination of the community element global (CEGL) codes (2008) and acquisition of aerial imagery (2012), using the aerial imagery, with five ground truthing points (2014), to create a draft vegetation map, performing an accuracy assessment (2016), and then using all the available information to create a final vegetation map.

Imagery data for the Vegetation Mapping Inventory Project of Rio Grande Wild and Scenic River

This reference contains the imagery data used in the completion of the baseline vegetation inventory project for the NPS park unit. Orthophotos, raw imagery, and scanned aerial photos are common files held here.

The vegetation map for Rio Grande Wild and Scenic River was based primarily on the 2015 TOP orthoimagery. However, both the 2012 and 2016 NAIP products were used to help delineate confusing upland areas, areas with dark shadows, and rapidly changing areas along the Rio Grande River. In general, the RIGR vegetation map should be considered a snapshot in time directly relating to the 2015 TOP imagery. By comparing the signatures on the imagery to field data, 47 map units (40 vegetated and 7 land-use/land-cover) were developed and used to delineate the vegetation.

Glacier Bay oceanography CON calibration files for CTD#6 s/n 7818

"CON" files define the sensor configuration and calibration parameters of Sea-Bird oceanographic CTD profilers. Until recently they followed a proprietary format set by  Sea-Bird Electronics, Inc. Proprietary files are not interpretable by common applications. To view or edit these data, one must invoke  SBEDataProc.EXE software from Sea-Bird. (Calibration files are in XML form beginning in December 2011.) CON files, combined with raw HEX data, are used to generate the CNV processed data files required for performing analyses. 

A new CON file is generated for a particular CTD each time any instrument on the CTD is calibrated. A revised file may also be created between formal calibrations to reflect a new, removed, or repaired sensor on the unit. The appropriate CON file to use for generating particular CNV files is the first file that is equal to or earlier than the month and year the cast was made. It is possible, though rare, for a CTD to have more than one CON file in a particular month and year. In such cases the second file name is appended with (A), a third with (B), and so on. The actual dates of each calibration in a file may be seen inside the file by using Sea-Bird's proprietary tools.

This is referenced in the protocol as deliverable OC_A.

Data Layers for 2007 Mammal Inventory, NETN and SAHI

This feature classes are randomized grids generated using ArcObjects for ArcGIS version 8.1.  The park boundary defines the area for which grid cells were generated.  The grid origin is the lower left corner of the park boundary coverage.  Randomization was achieved by randomly locating the lower left corner of the grid within a specified distance of the southwestern-most extent of the park boundary coverage.  This data set includes only those cells which have their center within the park boundary. For a detailed description of the spatial sampling design and sampling-point allocation for which this data set was developed, see:  Gilbert, A.T., O'Connell, A.F., Jr., Annand, E.M., Talancy, N.W., Sauer, J.R., and Nichols, J.D. 2008.

Field Data for An Inventory of Terrestrial Mammals at National Parks in the Northeast Temperate Network and Sagamore Hill National Historic Site (NETN_SAHI_Database_Mammals_2007.mdb)

An inventory of mammals was conducted during 2004 at nine national park sites in the Northeast Temperate Network (NETN): Acadia National Park (NP), Marsh-Billings-Rockefeller National Historical Park (NHP), Minute Man NHP, Morristown NHP, Roosevelt-Vanderbilt National Historic Site (NHS), Saint-Gaudens NHS, Saugus Ironwork NHS, Saratoga NHP, and Weir Farm NHS.  Sagamore Hill NHS, part of the Coastal and Barrier Island Network (NCBN) was also surveyed.  Every park, except for Acadia NP, was sampled twice, once in the winter/spring and again in the summer/fall.  During the winter/spring visit, indirect measure (IM) sampling arrays were employed at 2-16 stations and included sampling by remote cameras, covered trackplates (i.e., cubby boxes), and hair traps.  Indirect measure stations were established and re-used during the summer/fall sampling period.  Trapping was conducted at 2-12 stations at all parks except Acadia NP during the summer-fall period and consisted of arrays of small mammal traps, squirrel-sized live traps, and some fox-sized live traps.  A total of 38 species was detected by IM sampling, trapping, and field observations.  Species diversity (i.e., number of species) varied among parks, ranging from 8-24, with Minute Man NHP having the most species detected.  Raccoon (Procyon lotor), Virginia Opossum (Didelphis virginiana), Fisher (Martes pennanti), and Domestic Cat (Felis silvestris) were the most common medium-sized mammals detected in this study and White-footed Mouse (Peromyscus leucopus), Northern Short-tailed Shrew (Blarina brevicauda), Deer Mouse (P. maniculatus), and Meadow Vole (Microtus pennsylvanicus) the most common small mammals detected.  All species detected are considered fairly common throughout their range including the Fisher, which has been reintroduced in several New England states.  We did not detect any state or federal endangered or threatened species.

Glacier National Park Common Loon Citizen Science

This Web Map contains 3 layers to present information about common loon survey sites for the field season. 

1.  feature layer of survey results from Montana Fish and Wildlife Loon Survey123. This layer has been modified with an expression to indicate whether a site has been surveyed within 30 days (green) or red (not). This layer has also been filtered to only display data within the park region. 
2.  feature layer from Glacier National Park Crown of the Continent Research Learning Center that shows all loon lake survey sites within the park boundaries. This is to assist with initial data collection for the season before all sites have been visited in the calendar year. 
3.  feature layer that shows the park boundary to make interpretation easier. 

This WebMap is managed by the Citizen Science Team within the Crown of the Continent Research Learning Center. This map is intended for use by park volunteers.
