Elk Home Range - Scott Valley - 2021-2023 [ds3176]

<DIV STYLE="text-align:Left;"><DIV><DIV><P><SPAN>The project lead for the collection of this data was Erin Zulliger. Elk (3 adult females) were captured and equipped with GPS collars (Litetrack/Pinpoint Iridium collars, Lotek Wireless Inc., Newmarket, Ontario, Canada or Vectronic Aerospace) transmitting data from 2021-2023. The Scott Valley herd does not migrate between traditional summer and winter seasonal ranges. 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 1-6 hour intervals in the dataset. To improve the quality of the data set, the GPS data locations fixed in 2D space and visually assessed as a bad fix by the analyst were removed.</SPAN></P><P><SPAN>The methodology used for this migration analysis allowed for the mapping of the herd’s annual range. Brownian bridge movement models (BBMMs; Sawyer et al. 2009) were constructed with GPS collar data from 3 elk, including 4 annual home range sequences, location, date, time, and average location error as inputs in Migration Mapper. BBMMs were produced at a spatial resolution of 50 m using a sequential fix interval of less than 27 hours. Home range is visualized as the 50th percentile contour (high use) and the 99th percentile contour of the year-round utilization distribution. Annual home range designations for this herd may expand with a larger sample.</SPAN></P></DIV></DIV></DIV>

Pennels Birds-beak Monitoring Plan - Harrison Grade Ecological Reserve

Pennell’s bird’s-beak (Cordylanthus tenuis ssp. capillaris) is a California-listed rare, and federally-endangered plant that is endemic to Sonoma County California and has a narrow distribution. Pennell’s bird’s-beak is restricted to soils derived from serpentinite and is found in association with closed-cone coniferous forest and chaparral vegetation. A Pennell’s bird’s-beak population occurs at and near the California Department of Fish and Wildlife (CDFW) Harrison Grade Ecological Reserve (Reserve). The Reserve is approximately 34 acres, however Pennell’s bird’s-beak is only found in a few localized areas of the reserve, typically in areas that have experienced historical disturbances. Monitoring of Pennell’s bird’s-beak at the reserve has consisted (1) a census of Pennell’s bird’s-beak plants within one small monitoring plot (Plot A), (2) taking photographs at three specific locations (Photopoints A-C), and (3) periodic and opportunistic mapping of the distribution of Pennell’s bird’s-beak at the Reserve (GIS data is not included in this dataset). The monitoring photograph files are named with a unique identifier (e.g. "Aa") followed by a date in the format YYYYMMDD.

Cowcod Conservation Areas - R7 - CDFW [ds3165]

This dataset is for the archival purpose of demonstrating the extent of the Cowcod Conservation Areas. In 2001, access to the continental shelf in the Southern California Bight was restricted by the implementation of the Cowcod Conservation Areas (CCAs) that prohibit most bottom fishing. The closed area includes a 4,200 square mile area (Area 1, or Western CCA) off the Palos Verdes Peninsula extending southwards about 90 miles and westward another 50 miles. A smaller area, the "43-fathom spot" (Area 2, or Eastern CCA), which lies 40 miles offshore of San Diego and extends northward and offshore to cover 100 square miles, was also designated a part of the closure area. Starting in 2024, CCA restrictions no longer apply to non-trawl commercial and recreational vessels fishing for groundfish. Attributes Area: ID for each CCA. Name: Informal Description of each area.

<DIV STYLE="text-align:Left;"><DIV><DIV><P STYLE="margin:0 0 11 0;"><SPAN>The 2018 Marine Protected Area Monitoring Action Plan identified three bioregions for long-term marine protected area (MPA) monitoring: the north coast (California/ Oregon border to San Francisco Bay, including the Farallon Islands), the central coast (San Francisco Bay to Point Conception), and the south coast (Point Conception to the U.S./Mexico border, including the Channel Islands). These regions are distinct from the original five Marine Life Protection Act planning regions in which baseline monitoring occurred; the establishment of the five MLPA planning regions was intended to facilitate an MPA design process capable of accommodating the distinctive social and geopolitical attributes along the California coast.

CGS Information Warehouse: Landslide Maps and Reports

Since the 1960's, the California Geological Survey (CGS) has produced numerous maps that show landslide features and delineate potential slope-stability problem areas. Preparation of these maps has been episodic, often driven by landslide disasters and subsequent legislative mandates. Many CGS landslide maps and related products have been produced for local or state agencies in response to their specific needs.

This index includes landslide maps produced over many years and for a variety of purposes. See the description of CGS landslide programs for details of some of the major programs and types of landslides and landslide maps.

State Water Project Facilitated Non-Project Water Transfers

A [water transfer](https://water.ca.gov/Programs/State-Water-Project/Management/Water-Transfers) is a voluntary sale of water proposed and initiated by a willing seller who has legal rights to a supply of water to interested buyers within California. It usually takes place in relatively dry years, when only existing contractual water cannot meet the water demand. The Seller must take specific actions within the Seller’s service area to make this water available to the buyers as "new water" in the system. In other words, the transfer water would not appear in the watercourse absent the transfer.

The California Department of Water Resources (DWR) helps facilitate water transfers that require conveyance through State Water Project facilities or requires DWR approval pursuant to the Water Code Section 1810. A detailed description of the technical information for preparing water transfer proposals can be found in the [Draft Water Transfer White Paper](https://water.ca.gov/-/media/DWR-Website/Web-Pages/Programs/State-Water-Project/Management/Water-Transfers/Files/Draft_2019WTWhitePaper-012324.pdf). The preparation and review of water transfer proposals in accordance with guidance in the Draft Water Transfer White Paper takes place through an online web application, Water Transfer Information Management System (WTIMS). The dataset presented here is compiled from water transfer data available at [WTIMS](https://info.water.ca.gov/wtims/).

This dataset provides historical short-term water transfer information including the seller’s agency and their water rights (pre-1914 or post-1914), buyer’s agency, type of water transfer such as reservoir release, cropland idling, groundwater substitution, amount of transfer water made available from seller, and the amount of transfer water available at the point of transfer. Temporal coverage of this dataset is from 2008 to present. A web-based application is also provided to help with the historical water transfer data search.

WEAP Future Scenarios Model for Water Plan Update 2023

California Water Code Section 10004.6 requires the California Department of Water Resources (DWR) to quantify current and future water conditions in the state. This information is published in the California Water Plan (Water Plan), which is updated every five years. Water Plan Updates 2005, 2009, 2013, 2018 and 2023 have progressively developed a Water Evaluation And Planning (WEAP) model for assessing the impacts of climate change on California water resources and infrastructure, as well as the adaptation strategies needed and available to improve regional water resilience. Update 2023 brought significant improvements to input data and process in the model as described in the model documentation provided in the resources. The current WEAP model is called the WEAP-CVPA model as it covers the Central Valley of California at the planning area scale.  The model was run on WEAP version 2021.0.2.2 but is compatible with newer versions of WEAP based on limited testing.

Included in this dataset is:  

* The model itself with input files provided as a zip file
* A link to SEI’s website where the software to run and view the model can be downloaded
* The documentation for the model that was released as part of the California Water Plan Update 2023
* 4 CSVs with the post processed data from the study that were used to create the Future Scenarios Interactive Data Explorer, separated by summary vs detailed response surface as well as by planning area metrics vs points of interest metrics
* A link to the Future Scenarios Interactive Data Explorer where the post processed results and response surfaces available at the planning area level
* The raw exports from the model of the level 2070 that were post processed to create the data that informed the Water Plan Update 2023
* Spatial Boundaries for Water Plan Planning Areas which were used as the basis for spatial areas in the WEAP model
