West Coast Marine Mammal Stranding Network_Dead

The Marine Mammal Protection Act formalized a program to provide response to reports of strandings of marine mammals and unusual mortality events. This was done by creating a network of parties from different locations that would be responsible for responding to stranding events within their zone. Most stranding zones in California are defined by county boundaries. Some zones include only one or two counties, but California's largest zone covers 8 coastal counties and includes another 10 where the San Francisco Bay and Sacramento - San Joaquin River Delta reach inland. Los Angeles county has its coastline divided into two stranding zones, and one of those two zones also has multiple (2) organizations responsible for strandings within it.Stranding reporting areas of the coast of Oregon and Washington and Puget Sound are based upon the authorizations for each facility in their Stranding Agreement (SA) - each SA lists a primary response area granted to the organization, and these lines correspond to that. These zones are often divided more by geographical considerations than by political boundaries, such as island groups or cross-water zones. One zone is the responsibility of two different organizations because each has a different specialty. The Cascade Research Collective is responsible for Cetacean strandings in that area and Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife Marine Mammal Investigations is responsible for pinniped strandings in the same area.A stranding is:â¢ a dead marine mammal on the beach or in the water;â¢ a marine mammal that is alive on the shore and unable to return to the water under its own power;â¢ a marine mammal that is alive on the shore and, although able to return to the water, is in need of apparent medical attention;â¢ a marine mammal in the water and cannot return to its natural habitat under its own power or without assistance.In most stranding cases, the cause of the stranding is unknown, but some identified causes have included disease, parasite infestation, harmful algal blooms, injuries from ship strikes or fishery entanglements, pollution exposure, trauma, and starvation. While most stranded animals are found dead, some strand alive. In a limited number of cases it's possible to transport them to regional rehabilitation centers for care. In rare cases, successfully rehabilitated animals are returned to the wild. With the passage of the Endangered Species Act, in 1973 and the Marine Turtle Conservation Act of 2004, protection of sea turtle species, most of which are endangered or threatened, has resulted in them being added to the list of species which stranding organizations are responsible for.

SalmonSockeye_OzetteLakeESU_20050902

Critical habitat includes the stream channels within the designated stream reaches, and includes a lateral extent as defined by the ordinary high-water line (33 CFR 319.11). In areas where ordinary high-water line has not been defined, the lateral extent is defined by the bankfull elevation. Bankfull elevation is the level at which water begins to leave the channel and move into the floodplain and is reached at a discharge which generally has a recurrence interval of 1 to 2 years on the annual flood series. Critical habitat in lake areas is defined by the perimeter of the water body as displayed on standard 1:24,000 scale topographic maps or the elevation of ordinary high water, whichever is greater.See the final rule (70 FR 52630) for descriptions of areas excluded from this critical habitat designation. Excluded Habitat Conservation Plan (HCP) lands and Indian lands were not clipped out of the data.

North-central California Coast Salmonid Intrinsic Potential GIS Data

This geodataabase provides an estimate to the spatial distribution of potential historical habitat for California Coastal Chinook Salmon, Central California Coast Coho Salmon, Northern California Steelhead and Central California  Coast Steelhead.

Intrinsic potential measures the potential for development of favorable habitat characteristics as a function of the underlying geomorphic and hydrological attributes, as determined through a Digital Elevation Model (DEM) and mean annual precipitation grid. The model does not predict the actual distribution of "good'' habitat, but rather the potential for that habitat to occur, nor does the model predict abundance or productivity. Additionally, the model does not predict current conditions, but rather those patterns expected under pristine conditions as related through the input data. Thus, IP provides a tool for examining the historical distribution of habitat among and within watersheds, a proxy for population size and structure, and a useful template for examining the consequences of recent anthropogenic activity at landscape scales.

Recovery Action Mapping Tool

The Recovery Action Mapping Tool is a web map that allows users to visually interact with and query actions that were developed to recover species listed under the Endangered Species Act. This tool serves as a data portal to gather information about the work being done across a vast geographic area, and facilitate a better and broader understanding of species management. Implementers adjust recovery actions based on monitoring and research results, which highlight how well species are responding to actions and evolving local conditions.
