Marine Protected Area Statewide Leadership Team Work Plan

The Leadership Team has identified the following focal areas as key to successful management of MPAs which make up the MPA Management Program: Outreach and Education, Research and Monitoring, Enforcement and Compliance, and Policy and Permitting. Active, sustained engagement in each of these focal areas is integral to achieve the goals of California's MPA Network. This work plan covers a three-year period  and is a key tool in directing the MPA Management Program and holding members accountable for identified outcomes. This provides a road map for the State and its partners anchored back to the legislation, partnership plan, and other guidance documents related to California's MPA Network. This work plan identifies shared strategic priorities, key actions and outcomes for the MPA Management Program that can be used by government and non-government partners to ensure coordinated progress on achieving the goals of the Marine Life Protection Act.
Vegetation - Great Valley Ecoregion [ds2632]

<DIV STYLE="text-align:Left;"><DIV><DIV><P STYLE="margin:0 0 11 0;"><SPAN>Geodatabase feature class containing a map of vegetation within the Great Valley Ecoregion produced by the Geographical Information Center (GIC) at CSU Chico. The dataset combines both new mapping and the previously completed Central Valley Riparian and Sacramento Valley and the Southern San Joaquin Valley vegetation maps. Vegetation polygons were manually digitized as interpreted using the National Agricultural Inventory Program's (NAIP) 2009 (Central Valley Riparian and Sacramento Valley map), 2012 (Southern San Joaquin Valley map) and 2014 (balance of San Joaquin Valley) aerial imagery at a scale of 1:2000. The minimum mapping unit (mmu) for natural vegetation is 1.0 acre, with a minimum average width of 10 meters. The mmu for agricultural and urban polygons is 10 acres. Vegetation is attributed to the Group and Alliance level of the state and national vegetation hierarchy. In some cases, polygons were attributed only to Group or Macrogroup level when the Alliance could not be determined from photointerpretation. The map classification is based on the key to vegetation types in Buck-Diaz et al. 2012. The Central Valley and Sacramento Valley maps were assessed for Accuracy with an average users’ accuracy of 90.2 percent and users’ accuracy of 89 percent. The San Joaquin Valley portion of the map was field verified by the mappers but was not otherwise assessed for accuracy (see Supplemental Information below for details). </SPAN><SPAN><SPAN>More information can be found in the project report, which is bundled with the vegetation map published for BIOS here: </SPAN></SPAN><A href="https://filelib.wildlife.ca.gov/Public/BDB/GIS/BIOS/Public_Datasets/2600_2699/ds2632.zip" STYLE="text-decoration:underline;"><SPAN STYLE="text-decoration:underline;"><SPAN>https://filelib.wildlife.ca.gov/Public/BDB/GIS/BIOS/Public_Datasets/2600_2699/ds2632.zip</SPAN></SPAN></A><SPAN>.</SPAN></P></DIV></DIV></DIV>
Marine Protected Area Monitoring Action Plan 2018

California’s MPAs are adaptively managed as a network through the MPA Management Program which consists of four focal areas: 1) outreach and education, 2) enforcement and compliance, 3) research and monitoring, and 4) policy and permitting. Within the research and monitoring focal area, the California Department of Fish and Wildlife (CDFW) and California Ocean Protection Council (OPC) collaboratively direct California’s MPA Monitoring Program which includes a two-phased, ecosystem-based approach. Regional baseline monitoring (Phase 1, 2007 – 2018) characterized ecological and socioeconomic conditions near the time of regional MPA implementation and improved our understanding of a variety of representative marine habitats and the associated biodiversity. CDFW and OPC are now designing and implementing statewide long-term monitoring (Phase 2, 2016 – present) to reflect current priorities and management needs.

The MPA Monitoring Action Plan (Action Plan) informs next steps for long-term MPA monitoring in California by aggregating and synthesizing work to date, as well as by incorporating novel, quantitative, and expert-informed approaches. The Action 
Plan prioritizes key measures, metrics, habitats, sites, species, human uses, and management questions  to target for long-term monitoring to inform the evaluation of California’s MPA Network. For example, the Action Plan includes select species-level, 
community-level, physical, chemical, and human use measures and metrics identified to advance understanding of conditions and trends across the MPA Network.

San Francisco Bay and Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta DEM version 3 (Superseded)

# Superseded:
A more recent version of this product appears here:

https://data.cnra.ca.gov/dataset/san-francisco-bay-and-sacramento-san-joaquin-delta-dem-for-modeling-version-4-1

This product will continue to be distributed for archival purposes.

# Product

The product is a set of mutually consistent 10m and 2m integrated elevation maps (DEM) in standard ascii format.There are few missing data where there is water or at land-water interfaces.  However, our map does have gaps at some inland and island sites.  We have opted not to fill these because there is an ongoing project at DWR to re-analyze LiDAR returns and improve the terrestrial map.  The CSTARS project at UC Davis is doing this as well.  

This product is developed based on synthesizing LiDAR, single- and multibeam sonar soundings and existing integrated maps collated from multiple sources.  The following figure shows the data sources used for different areas.  The western part of our Bay-Delta work blends the original Foxgrover map with the 1/3 arc second DEM produced by NOAA. These are close in the region of overlap and edge-matches the NOAA data well, but the NOAA map seems to capture things like bridge footings that the original 10m Foxgrover map of the region smooths.  A richer 2m product combining new data and some interpolation is due to be release by USGS in Winter or Spring 2013.  Our previews of this map indicate that it is heavily based on the 1/3 arc second NOAA map for points near Carquinez Straits.   For more information, please refer to the article: [A Continuous Surface Elevation Map](http://baydeltaoffice.water.ca.gov/modeling/deltamodeling/AR2012/Chapter%206_2012_Web.pdf)

Please note that we distribute only our own integrated maps, not the original constituent data.

Sacramento River Geomorphic Atlas, Red Bluff to Colusa, California (1896–2012)

The Sacramento River Geomorphic Atlas (1896–2012) (SRGA) documents the geomorphology of the middle reach of the Sacramento River from Red Bluff to Colusa, California, shown in Figure 1. The SRGA was created using a combination of geologic maps, U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) topographic maps, U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) and National Agriculture Imagery Program (NAIP) imagery, light detection and ranging (LiDAR) data, other aerial imagery, historical data, and fieldwork performed by California Department of Water Resources (DWR) staff. 

The data are presented in a series of maps and imagery showing Pre-Shasta Dam Meanders (Series A), Post-Shasta Dam Meanders (Series B), All Meanders (Series C), Geology (Series D), DEM/LiDAR (Series E), Bank Erosion Characterization (Series F), and Pre- and Post-Shasta Dam Bank Erosion survey sites (Series G). Channel locations are approximate and subject to cumulative errors in the original mapping, scanning, georectification, and digitization process. Depending on the series of maps, other data are also shown, such as bank protection, levees, river mile markers, meander scrolls, paleo channels, and the modern and historical meander belts. Figure 2 shows the general legend and the geologic legend for the map series. For reference, Figures 1 and 2 are also shown at the beginning of each map series. Additional data presented in the SRGA include meander avulsion identification, bank protection identification, river sinuosity, and centerline length.

Estimates of Natural and Unimpaired Flows for the Central Valley of California: WY 1922-2014

This report summarizes estimates of “natural” and “unimpaired” flows for all areas in the Central Valley tributary to the Sacramento – San Joaquin Delta (Delta) for the period spanning water years 1922-2014. A major objective of this report is to clarify the conceptual differences between natural and unimpaired flows. In spite of the Department’s previous attempts to distinguish between natural conditions and its calculation of theoretical unimpaired flows, unimpaired flow estimates have frequently been used as a surrogate measure of natural conditions, presumably because natural flow estimates were unavailable. This report contains the Department’s first published estimates of natural flows; these estimates are derived from complex simulation models and are based on published estimates of natural vegetation cover and associated evapotranspiration.
