Interagency Ecological Program: Discrete water quality and phytoplankton data from the Sacramento River floodplain and Yolo Bypass tidal slough, collected by the Yolo Bypass Fish Monitoring Program, 1998 - 2022

The Yolo Bypass Fish Monitoring Program (YBFMP) operates a rotary screw trap and fyke trap and conducts biweekly beach seine and lower trophic surveys in addition to maintaining water quality instrumentation in the bypass. The YBFMP serves to fill information gaps regarding environmental conditions in the bypass that trigger migrations and enhanced survival and growth of native fishes, as well as provide data for IEP synthesis efforts. YBFMP staff also conduct analyses of YBFMP monitoring data to address pertinent management related questions as identified by IEP. The Yolo Bypass has been identified as a high restoration priority by the National Marine Fisheries Service and US Fish and Wildlife Service Biological Opinions for Delta Smelt, Winter and Spring-run Chinook salmon and by California EcoRestore. The YBFMP informs the restoration actions that are mandated or recommended in these plans and provides critical baseline data on the ecology of the bypass and how it interacts with the broader San Francisco Estuary. Program objectives include: Collecting baseline data on water quality, chlorophyll, lower trophic level biota, and fish in the Yolo Bypass to monitor spatial and temporal changes in trends and abundance; Analyzing and communicating Yolo Bypass data with stakeholders and the scientific and management communities to address pertinent management related questions; Providing technical expertise on Yolo Bypass aquatic ecology and monitoring and sampling methods.

We collect discrete water quality data using a YSI ProDSS and sample phytoplankton, chlorophyll and nutrients as discrete water grabs taken biweekly (or weekly during Yolo Bypass inundation) along with lower trophic tows. Water is sampled at three sites along the Yolo Bypass and Sacramento River, then processed and analyzed by an internal DWR laboratory.

Access Explorer

<p>The California Natural Resources Agency’s Access for All
Initiative and 30x30 set a goal of equitable access for all to the state’s
natural and open spaces. This dashboard helps illustrate the current challenges
and highlights opportunities. </p>

<p>The Access Explorer shows statewide measures of the population
living within a half mile of any open space such as a park with public access
contained within the Conserved Areas database, whether it meets the 30x30
definition of conserved or not.  </p>

<p>You can then compare those measures to areas that meet the
30x30 definition or to the population overall.  </p>

<p>The Access Explorer is a work in progress. Enhancements will
be informed by an Outdoors for All roadmap due out in early 2023. </p>

<p>The demographics were compiled from <a href='https://doc.arcgis.com/en/esri-demographics/' target='_blank' rel='nofollow ugc noopener noreferrer'>ESRI

Agency’s goals for equitable access for all, the conservation of the state’s
biodiversity, and expanding the use of nature-based solutions to address
climate change.</p>

<p>The Conservation Opportunities Modeler uses a technique
called a Weighted Raster Overlay (WRO) to evaluate multiple factors
simultaneously. You can select layers from almost 50 layers in library,
assign a weight to each selected layer, and then a scores to the available
variables. These are then combined to show the range of combined values across
the landscape, whether high or low based on your assigned weights. </p><p>Data libraries are available to explore opportunities for access for all, biodiversity, climate mitigation and adaptation, as well as opportunities that integrate across multiple challenges. After your model is complete, run it online and explore the results through interactive summaries and comparison against data from CA Nature or other sources.</p>

<p>Use the Conservation Opportunities Modeler to explore
opportunities through building your own scenarios. </p><p><br /></p>

Commercial Wind Electric Generation Regions

<div>Wind Resource Areas represent regions in California with many operational commercial wind electric generation plants. These regions are intended to be used for general reference purposes. These regions were created by CEC staff using Geographic Information Systems (GIS) technology to find concentrations of operational wind electric generation plants with a generation capacity of 2 MW or larger and within 15 miles of each other. These regions were further expanded 5 additional miles to account for possible future projects in the same areas.  Other plants of less than 2 MW may exist within the regions.  The regions were updated in March, 2023. For more information, contact John Hingtgen at john.hingtgen@energy.ca.gov or Travis David at travis.david@energy.ca.gov.</div>

CNRA Forest Resilience Design Sprint 2022

California Natural Resources Agency and the USDA Forestry Service with support by Google.Org had a five day design sprint on May 9th to 13th, 2022.

The Challenge presented to the wildfire and forest heath experts present was to design methods to empower California resource managers at the state, regional, and local levels to target, plan, and monitor their vegetation management and wildfire resilience projects in a way that considers the broader needs of the ecosystem (e.g., watershed health, biodiversity, carbon storage).
