Drought Monitoring on South-Central California Coastal Watersheds - 2022-2023

Watersheds included within 2022-2023 South-Central California coast drought monitoring efforts are Chorro, San Luis Obispo, San Simeon, and Santa Rosa Creeks, as well as the Big Sur River.  Continuous water temperature data were collected from multiple stream reaches per watershed using Hobo Tidbit loggers. Discharge (cfs) and instantaneous water temperature and dissolved oxygen concentration were collected weekly at most montiored wateresheds using a Hach 950 flow meter and YSI handheld meter. At San Simeon Creek, water quality (dissolved oxygen, temperature, salinity) profiles were taken in the estuary. Ocean connectivity was assessd visually at most watersheds on a weekly basis. The longitudinal extent of wetted channel (wet-dry mapping) was assessed using Survey123 at each stream at several points throughout 2022 and the results were imported into ArcGIS. Steelhead stranding events ansd mortalities were assessed and the number of individuals impacted were recorded.

DCP Tribal Resources

The DCP Tribal Resources Study is one of many relicensing documents for the Devil Canyon Project (DCP) Hydropower Project Number 14797. The California Department of Water Resources applied to the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission for a new license of the DCP Project located in San Bernardino County, California along the East Branch of the State Water Project (SWP). The SWP provides southern California with many benefits, including an affordable water supply, reliable regional clean energy, opportunities to integrate green energy, accessible public recreation opportunities, and environmental benefits.

Elk Home Range - Cedar Canyon - 2005-2006, 2015-2017 [ds3113]

<DIV STYLE="text-align:Left;"><DIV><DIV><P STYLE="margin:0 0 11 0;"><SPAN><SPAN>The project lead for the collection of this data was Bob Stafford. Elk (7 adult females, 3 adult males) from the Cedar Canyon herd were captured and equipped with Lotek GPS collars (</SPAN></SPAN><SPAN><SPAN>LifeCycle 800 GlobalStar/ GPS3300L, Lotek Wireless, Newmarket, Ontario, Canada</SPAN></SPAN><SPAN><SPAN>) and ATS GPS collars (G2000, Advanced Telemetry Systems, Isanti, Minnesota, USA), transmitting data from 2005-2006 and 2015-2017. The study area was within the La Panza Elk Management Unit, north of State Highway 58 in the Temblor Range and largely residing on private lands. The Cedar Canyon herd contains short distance, elevation-based movements likely due to seasonal habitat conditions, but this herd does not migrate between traditional summer and winter seasonal ranges. Instead, the herd displays a residential pattern, slowly moving up or down elevational gradients. Therefore, annual home ranges were modeled using year-round data to demarcate high use areas in lieu of modeling the specific winter ranges commonly seen in other ungulate analyses in California. GPS locations were fixed at 1-13 hour intervals in the dataset. To improve the quality of the data set as per Bjørneraas et al. (2010), the GPS data were filtered prior to analysis to remove locations which were: i) further from either the previous point or subsequent point than an individual elk is able to travel in the elapsed time, ii) forming spikes in the movement trajectory based on outgoing and incoming speeds and turning angles sharper than a predefined threshold , or iii) fixed in 2D space and visually assessed as a bad fix by the analyst. </SPAN></SPAN></P><P STYLE="margin:0 0 11 0;"><SPAN><SPAN>The methodology used for this analysis allowed for the mapping of the herd’s annual range based on a small sample. Brownian Bridge Movement Models (BBMMs; Sawyer et al. 2009) were constructed with GPS collar data from 9 elk in total, including 17 year-long sequences, location, date, time, and average location error as inputs in Migration Mapper to assess annual range. Annual range BBMMs were produced at a spatial resolution of 50 m using a sequential fix interval of less than 27 hours and a fixed motion variance of 1000. Population-level annual range designations for this herd may expand with a larger sample, filling in some of the gaps between high-use annual range polygons in the map. Annual range is visualized as the 50</SPAN></SPAN><SPAN><SPAN>th</SPAN></SPAN><SPAN><SPAN> percentile contour (high use) and the 99</SPAN></SPAN><SPAN><SPAN>th</SPAN></SPAN><SPAN> percentile contour of the year-round utilization distribution. </SPAN></P></DIV></DIV></DIV>
