CWHR contains information on life history, management status, geographic distribution, and habitat relationships for wildlife species known to occur regularly in California. Range maps represent the maximum, current geographic extent of each species within California. They were originally delineated at a scale of 1:5,000,000 by species-level experts and have gradually been revised at a scale of 1:1,000,000.

Steelhead Fishing Report and Restoration Card Zones [ds1119]

The main purpose of the Steelhead Report and Restoration Card program is to monitor, restore, and enhance California''s steelhead resources. The Department meets its monitoring requirement by analyzing angling data submitted by anglers from each location code. Revenue generated from report card sales is dedicated to statewide steelhead-centric restoration benefiting both the species and angler. Additional information can be found here: https://wildlife.ca.gov/Conservation/Inland-Fisheries/Steelhead-Report-Card.

SSWP Pyramid Reach BMIs

The SSWP Pyramid Reach BMIs Study is one of many relicensing documents for the South SWP (SSWP) Hydropower Project Number 2426. The California Department of Water Resources and the Los Angeles Department of Water and Power applied to the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission for a new license of the SSWP Project located in Los Angeles County, California along the West 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.

2023 Crash Data on State Highway System

The Crash Data On California State Highways Report is produced annually by the California Department of Transportation (Caltrans) to provide high level summaries of road miles, travel, crashes and crash rates on the California State Highway System.

This table lists statewide vehicle travel expressed in Million Vehicle Miles (MVM), road miles, and one and three year crash rates and fatality rates based on lane types and population codes.

While crash rates for total crash and fatal + injury crashes are calculated per MVM, fatality rates are expressed per 100 MVM.

Vegetation Cover - Spears and Didion Ranches [ds319]

These data are the summary statistics calculated for components of the herbaceous layers, and shrubs and trees from the three 0.05-ha circular plot habitat samples each taken in 2005 at the 15 sample points at Spears and Didion Ranches, Placer County, California. These values are based on point intersections of live vegetation with a sighting tube at 25 points on eight 12.6 m transects through the 0.05-ha plot. Readings were taken in the center of each habitat sampling plot and at 4 m, 8 m, and 12 m on each of the eight transects within the plot. The transects are at 45 degree increments with one transect to the north. The herb layer is vegetation 0.5-2.0 m tall, while the tree layer vegetation is &gt; 2.0 m tall.

California Least Tern Monitoring Sites by Region - CDFW [ds3147]

<div style='text-align:Left;'><div><div><p><span>California least tern colonies are monitored during nesting season along the California Coast and data is reported to California Department of Fish and Wildlife. The colonies in this dataset range from the Tijuana river mouth near the Mexico border to Sacramento. Locations and data include both present and historic sites. Locations are approximate and can have variation over time. These approximate locations were overlaid with a statewide hexagon layer (ds675) and then a buffer was created in order to mask exact nesting locations. These were then combined and broken into 4 main regions: S.F. Bay, Central, Ventura, and Southern. Two additional polygons are separated for the inland sites Kings and Sacramento. Some additional sites without location information can be found in the related table. The related table includes nesting totals by year from 1990 - 2023. It's anticipated to update this dataset to include earlier and newer records. Monitoring data includes estimated fledglings, estimated breeding pairs, total number of nests, and predator information when included in site reports. Annual reports 2017 and earlier can also be found by searching in California Department of Fish and Wildlife's document library (</span><a href='http://nrm.dfg.ca.gov:80/documents/docViewer.aspx' style='text-decoration:underline;' rel='nofollow ugc'><span>nrm.dfg.ca.gov/documents/docViewer.aspx</span></a><span>). </span></p><p><span>A version of this data, monitoring sites generalized to a 2.5 square mile hexagon, has been made available in BIOS as </span><a href='https://apps.wildlife.ca.gov:443/bios6/?al=3146' style='text-decoration:underline;' rel='nofollow ugc'><span>California Least Tern Monitoring Sites Generalized - CDFW [ds3146]</span></a><span>. </span></p></div></div></div>

The file is in ESRI geodatabase format and is intended for use with compatible GIS software. Groundwater basins are represented as polygon features and designated on the basis of geological and hydrological conditions - usually the occurrence of alluvial or unconsolidated deposits. When practical, large basins are also subdivided by political boundaries, as in the Central Valley. Basins are named and numbered per the convention of the Department of Water Resources. The associated data are considered DWR enterprise GIS data, which meet all appropriate requirements of the DWR GIS Spatial Data Standards. DWR makes no warranties or guarantees, either expressed or implied, as to the completeness, accuracy or correctness of the data, nor accepts or assumes any liability arising from or for any incorrect, incomplete or misleading subject data.

ACE addresses both terrestrial and aquatic data. The ACE model combines and analyzes terrestrial information in a 2.5 square mile hexagon grid and aquatic information at the HUC12 watershed level across the state to produce a series of maps for use in non-regulatory evaluation of conservation priorities in California. The model addresses as many of CDFWs statewide conservation and recreational mandates as feasible using high quality data sources. High value areas statewide and in each USDA Ecoregion were identified. The ACE maps and data can be viewed in the ACE online map viewer, or downloaded for use in ArcGIS.
