Amphibian Restoration - High Mountain Lakes [ds103]

<div style='text-align:Left;'><div><div><p><span>This data provides an overview of native amphibian restoration sites in the Sierra Nevada. Following High Mountain Lakes surveys, fish were manually removed at some high elevation lake sites. Removals of non-native trout were done at sites with mountain yellow-legged frogs or with frogs nearby. Fish removal is done without the use of chemicals, using monofilament gill nets and electrofishing. Gill nets catch adult and juvenile fish. Electrofishing is used primarily as a way to remove fish from small tributary streams and fry (less than 70mm) from shallow areas. Current literature has shown that mountain yellow-legged frog populations can rebound quickly after trout removal. Frog population counts at CDFW sites support this finding. The restoration data, along with the related high mountain lakes amphibian, fish and fisheries project data sets represent biological surveys conducted at a series of lakes in the Sierra Nevada ranging from Plumas County in the north to Tulare County in the south. During High Mountain Lake (HML) surveys, Sierra Nevada lentic waters were surveyed for fish, frogs, habitats, stream barriers to fish movement and presence of fairy shrimp. Lakes with fish were surveyed using monofilament gill nets. Amphibians were detected and documented based on direct observation. Contact Sarah Mussulman (916) 358-2838 for additional survey protocol detail and a description of methods. As part of the development of the biological data sets, researchers created a detailed coverage of lakes for (ostensibly) all known lentic water bodies in California above 5000’ elevation. Lake features were digitized from USGS 1:24000 quadrangles and assigned a unique identifying number. High Mountain Lakes (HML) surveys were performed in the Sierra Nevada starting in 2001 and use these unique ID numbers to reference waterbodies. WHAT EACH RECORD REPRESENTS: Each record represents a lake where CDFW has begun removing fish to benefit a population of mountain yellow-legged frogs. The majority of lakes in this dataset are currently fishless; a handful are active fish removal sites.</span></p></div></div></div>

Twenty Fathom Groundfish Boundary Line - R7 - CDFW [ds3160]

This feature depicts the 20-fathom boundary line that can be used in California groundfish regulations. The 20-fathom boundary line is a connection of a series of GPS coordinates published in California regulations (California Code of Regulations Title 14, Section 35.00) that are intended to approximate underwater depth contours. This boundary, as well as the federal Rockfish Conservation Areas, are used in recreational and commercial groundfish regulations to avoid interactions with certain groundfish species of concern. For both the recreational and commercial fisheries, boundary lines may change during the year, between seasons and management area. Attributes area_name: Identifying name for a particular line at a particular depth contour, primarily distinguishes between coastwide lines and lines around islands. region: The groundfish management area that the section of the line is in.

Western Grebe - Avian Knowledge Network (AKN) [ds237]

This data set contains basic observation information on Western Grebes in California and is provided by the Avian Knowledge Network (AKN). AKN is a joint venture including sponsors National Biological Information Infrastructure and National Science Foundation, and collaborators Cornell Lab of Ornithology, PRBO Conservations Science, Redwood Sciences Laboratory, Rocky Mountain Bird Observatory, and Bird Studies Canada. AKN collects, organizes, archives, and distributes avian data for various analytical purposes. This large (almost 20,000,000 observations to date) and comprehensive database provides a unified structure where data from multiple sources can be used together to produce more meaningful products. AKN also has developed applications to visualize temporal and spatial patterns of bird movements and numbers. These bird observations were made by professional birding consultants, ornithologists, researchers, and knowledgeable volunteers over the last few years. Most of their observations came from point counts from job sites, back yards, or from sites established to assess bird populations in specific locations or habitats throughout California. Protocols for the three programs that produce the most observations are on the web at: eBird - http://www.ebird.org/content/ Great Backyard Bird Count - http://www.birdsource.org/gbbc/ Project FeederWatch - http://www.birds.cornell.edu/pfw/ The dataset is limited in that the there is no observer provided for each record, the location is only accurate to a circular area equivalent to about one-sixteenth of a square mile, and a number of fields have only code values and the code definitions are not known.

Water quality, fish, phytoplankton, clams and zooplankton monitoring to support the Summer-Fall Suisun Marsh Salinity Control Gates Action

The Suisun Marsh Salinity Control Gates (SMSCG) have the potential to increase low-salinity-zone habitat for endangered Delta Smelt (Hypomesus transpacificus, California Endangered Species Act listed as Endangered, Federal Endangered Species Act listed as Threatened), and to allow them to more frequently occupy Suisun Marsh, especially Montezuma Slough, one of their most important rearing habitats. Operation of the SMSCG in summer and fall to improve Delta Smelt habitat are called for in the Biological Opinion and Incidental Take permit for the Central Valley Project and State Water Project. To support the adaptive management of the action, the California Department of Water Resources monitored the change in water quality, phytoplankton, zooplankton, fishes, and clams resulting from the action in 2018. This data package includes data collected by the Interagency Ecological Program’s (IEP) long-term monitoring programs supplemented with targeted sample collection where existing surveys lack spatial or temporal coverage. This package also includes modeling the change in Delta Smelt habitat based on area of open water with appropriate temperature, salinity, and turbidity. Monitoring during no-action years (2019 and 2020) will be used as a baseline for comparison during action years. This data package will be updated annually during both action years and non-action years.

National Fish Habitat Action Plan (NFHAP) Habitat Condition Indices [ds733]

<DIV STYLE="text-align:Left;"><DIV><DIV><P><SPAN>The mission of the National Fish Habitat Action Plan is to protect, restore, and enhance the nation's fish and aquatic communities through partnerships that foster fish habitat conservation and improve the quality of life for the American people. Reversal of widespread fish habitat degradation will require effective spatial planning, which begins with spatial assessement of current habitat conditions. This dataset presents an assessment of cumulative anthropogenic disturbance to fish habitats in California under the assumption that downstream local habitat conditions will reflect conditions in the catchment upstream. Geographic information systems data was used to attribute 15 disturbance variables to the catchments of mapped river reaches to calibrate an index of cumulative disturbance that considered effects originating from both local and upstream catchments. These features contain local and network catchment human disturbance variables representing anthropogenic alterations to landscapes in California, including land use, roads, dams, mines, and point-source pollution sites. The source datasets that were compiled and attributed to catchments were identified as being: (1) meaningful for assessing fish habitat; (2) consistent across the entire study area in the way that they were assembled; (3) representative of conditions in the past 10 years, and (4) of sufficient spatial resolution that they could be used to make valid comparisons among local catchment units. These variables can be linked to the reaches and catchments of the National Hydrography Dataset Plus (NHDPlus). For more information visit www.fishhabitat.org</SPAN></P></DIV></DIV></DIV>

DSM2 Input 2025-07-03 historical update

DSM2 Version "DSM2 Input 2025-07-03 historical update" is based on "DSM2 Input 2025-05-28", and includes the following improvements:

* Corrections to SMSCG time series input for the RADIAL_FRACT_UP and RADIAL_FRACT_DOWN time series. 
* Modified pipe coefficients for False River Barrier and the South Delta Temporary Barriers. Previously, some of these coefficients were greater than 1.0, which is used in SCHISM to simulate barrier leakage. Since barrier leakage in DSM2 is simulated differently, the coefficients do not need to be greater than 1.0.
