Elk Home Range - Chimineas - 2005-2008 [ds3114]

<DIV STYLE="text-align:Left;"><DIV><DIV><P STYLE="margin:0 0 11 0;"><SPAN><SPAN>The project lead for the collection of this data was Bob Stafford. Elk (4 adult females, 2 adult males) from the Chimineas herd were captured and equipped with Lotek GPS collars (</SPAN></SPAN><SPAN><SPAN>GPS3300L, Lotek Wireless, Newmarket, Ontario, Canada</SPAN></SPAN><SPAN><SPAN>) and ATS GPS collars (G2000, Advanced Telemetry Systems, Isanti, Minnesota, USA), transmitting data from 2005-2008. The study area was within the La Panza Elk Management Unit, north adjacent to State Highway 166 and largely residing within Carrizo Plains Ecological Reserve with some movement into Los Padres National Forest. State Highway 166 is a likely barrier to movement as no collared elk moved southward across the road to additional habitats. The Chimineas herd contains short distance, elevation-based movements likely due to seasonal habitat conditions, but this herd does not migrate between traditional summer and winter seasonal ranges. Instead, the herd displays a residential pattern, slowly moving up or down elevational gradients. 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 1-13 hour intervals in the dataset. To improve the quality of the data set as per Bjørneraas et al. (2010), the GPS data were filtered prior to analysis to remove locations which were: i) further from either the previous point or subsequent point than an individual elk is able to travel in the elapsed time, ii) forming spikes in the movement trajectory based on outgoing and incoming speeds and turning angles sharper than a predefined threshold , or iii) fixed in 2D space and visually assessed as a bad fix by the analyst. </SPAN></SPAN></P><P STYLE="margin:0 0 11 0;"><SPAN><SPAN>The methodology used for this analysis allowed for the mapping of the herd’s annual range based on a small sample. Brownian Bridge Movement Models (BBMMs; Sawyer et al. 2009) were constructed with GPS collar data from 5 elk in total, including 7 year-long sequences, location, date, time, and average location error as inputs in Migration Mapper to assess annual range. Annual range BBMMs were produced at a spatial resolution of 50 m using a sequential fix interval of less than 27 hours and a fixed motion variance of 1000. Population-level annual range designations for this herd may expand with a larger sample, filling in some of the gaps between high-use annual range polygons in the map. Annual range is visualized as the 50</SPAN></SPAN><SPAN><SPAN>th</SPAN></SPAN><SPAN><SPAN> percentile contour (high use) and the 99</SPAN></SPAN><SPAN><SPAN>th</SPAN></SPAN><SPAN><SPAN> percentile contour of the year-round utilization distribution. </SPAN></SPAN></P></DIV></DIV></DIV>

Ocean Station Vessel

Ocean Station Vessels (OSV) or Weather Ships captured atmospheric conditions while being stationed continuously in a single location. While While most of the collection Navy vessels would go to a specified coordinate, stay for variable lengths of time, and record weather and meteorological observations. The collection begins in 1940, at the onset of WWII, when meteorological observations in the Atlantic Ocean were critical for military strategy in the Eastern theatre. While the vast majority of the collection derives from United States Navy and Coast Guard vessels, Ocean Station Vessels were considered an international cooperation, and there are a few non-United States ships included as well. Beginning in the 1960s, satellites and buoys capturing climatological data began to replace Ocean Station Vessels, almost completely phasing out the use of these ships by the mid-1970s. The collection includes a significant quantity of upper air observations on microfilm as well as paper transmittances describing instrument statistics, abnormalities, and basic reporting.

Monitoring and Evaluation of Salmonid Habitat Restoration Validation Monitoring

This data documents fish response to fish passage and instream habitat restoration treatments.  Juvenile salmonid snorkel surveys are conducted pre-treatment and post-treatment.  Pool dimensions (length and width), maximum residual pool depth, temperature, flow, and water quality data are also recorded.  Minnow traps are deployed in the vicinity of restoration treatments when stream conditions or hazards prevent snorkel observations or where additional monitoring methods are deemed necessary to determine juvenile salmonid presence.  Winter Salmonid spawner surveys of potential redds, adult spawners, and carcasses are also performed.  Survey data includes a 0.038 MB Snorkel Survey database and a 0.043 MB Spawner Survey database.

Fall Chinook Escapement - Klamath Basin Watershed

Adult salmonid data collected from various areas within the Klamath basin watershed. Various tributaries are monitored using video systems (Bogus Creek, Shasta River, Scott River), other areas are monitored using redd/carcass surveys, and Iron gate Hatchery adult returns. The main purpose of the data is to estimate escapement of fall Chinook slamon, although data on other species (steelhead, coho salmon) also collected.

Central Valley Angler Survey Database

The Central Valley Angler Survey, or CVAS, monitors sport fisheries in the Sacramento River system, from the Carquinez Strait to Keswick Dam near Redding, and on the lower Mokelumne, Yuba, Calaveras, American, and Feather rivers. CVAS was a year-round survey from 1991-1994, 1998-2002, and 2006-2016, and included the Yuba and Calaveras rivers during portions of those periods. During fiscal years (FY) 2017-2020, CVAS was scaled back to a 5-1/2 month survey, focused on the Chinook Salmon sport fishery from July 16 through December 31, but resumed year-round surveying beginning FY 2021. Data are collected to estimate angler effort, catch, and harvest of key species using expansions of spatially and temporally stratified data. Data collected from 1991 through 2016 were used to generate estimates of fishing effort, catch, and harvest of Chinook Salmon, steelhead trout, Rainbow Trout, White Sturgeon, Sacramento Splittail (2007-2016), Striped Bass, and American Shad. During fiscal years 2017-2020, CVAS focused only on generating estimates of fishing effort, catch, and harvest of Chinook Salmon in support of the West Coast Chinook Salmon management process. Data collected are based on eight survey runs per month in each of 24-27 survey sections that cover the entire survey area. Data include counts of boats and angling parties in each survey section to estimate fishing effort on a daily timestep. Data are also collected during angler interviews and include information about individual angler effort, and biological data on the catch. Heads are collected from Chinook Salmon that possess a clipped adipose fin to recover coded-wire tags that provide information about the hatchery origin of the fish. 

Biological information collected on the catch of anglers encountered by survey staff. Data includes location, species, length, weight, any external markings or tags observed, scale sample collection information, and sex of fish.

Wintering Waterfowl Monitoring - Central Valley - 1955-2022

The Waterfowl Program annually monitors wintering waterfowl (ducks, cranes and coots) in the Central Valley, along with US FWS partners, using fixed-wing aircraft, 1955 to current.

Data are collected from fixed-wing aircraft with 2 observers in each. The survey is conducted the first full week in January, weather dependent. The Central Valley is into basins based on the Central Valley Joint Venture implementation areas. Species and number observed collected.  Survey has been conducted since 1955 however a revised survey was developed in 2015 and continues annually. The project is funded by Pittman-Roberston Grant and State Duck Stamp funds.
