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.

Marine Life Protection Act Study Regions - R7 - CDFW [ds3178]

To facilitate planning, the MLPA Initiative, a public-private partnership, was formed and the state was divided into five planning regions (four coastal and the San Francisco Bay), each with its own MPA planning process. All four coastal regions have now completed their individual planning processes, leading to the statewide implementation of California's MPA network along the coast. Options for a planning process in the fifth and final region, the San Francisco Bay, have been developed for consideration at a future date. </SPAN></P><P STYLE="margin:0 0 11 0;"><SPAN>Twenty MPAs and six special closures were implemented in the north coast region, from the California/Oregon border to Alder Creek (near Point Arena), on December 19, 2012. </SPAN></P><P STYLE="margin:0 0 11 0;"><SPAN>Twenty-five MPAs and six special closures were implemented in the north central coast region, from Alder Creek (near Point Arena) to Pigeon Point, on May 1, 2010. </SPAN></P><P STYLE="margin:0 0 11 0;"><SPAN>Twenty-nine MPAs were implemented in the central coast region, from Pigeon Point to Point Conception, on September 21, 2007. </SPAN></P><P STYLE="margin:0 0 11 0;"><SPAN>Fifty MPAs and two special closures were implemented in the south coast region, from Point Conception to the California-Mexico border, on January 1, 2012. </SPAN></P><P STYLE="margin:0 0 11 0;"><SPAN>The shoreline provided in this feature is a general approximation of the mean high tide line at the time of implementation. However, it is important to note that it is not based on any elevation (tidal) data and was hand drawn based on best available aerial imagery at the time. Due to the dynamic nature of coastal environments, these boundaries may not accurately reflect the current condition or exact demarcations of the coastline. The offshore boundary is based on the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) three nautical mile maritime limit published on charts at that time. </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.

This data and metadata were submitted by California Department of Fish and Wildlife (CDFW) Staff though the Data Management Plan (DMP) framework with the id: DMP000051. For more information, please visit https://wildlife.ca.gov/Data/Sci-Data.

Elk Home Range - West Goose Lake - 2019-2023 [ds3177]

<DIV STYLE="text-align:Left;"><DIV><DIV><P><SPAN>The project lead for the collection of this data was Erin Zulliger. Elk (11 adult females, 3 adult males) were captured and equipped with GPS collars (Litetrack/Pinpoint Iridium collars, Lotek Wireless Inc., Newmarket, Ontario, Canada or Vectronic Aerospace) transmitting data from 2019-2023. The West Goose Lake herd migrates between traditional summer and winter seasonal ranges, and migration corridors, migration stopovers, and winter ranges were modeled separately for this herd, but were not a part of this analysis. Annual home ranges were modeled using year-round data to demarcate high use areas. 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 14 elk, including 44 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>
