Fishing Effort Study of Private and Rental Boats - Private-Access Sites, Southern California - 2008-2009

Fishing effort study of private and rental boats returning to private-access sites in southern California, 2008 through 2009 to compare field-based fishing effort estimates with telephone survey estimates generated by the California Recreational Fisheries Survey (CRFS). The data include day-time hourly counts of recreational fishing boats and anglers, non-fishing passengers aboard recreational fishing boats, non-fishing boats and passengers, and missed boats returning to southern California marinas. Samplers were positioned at marina entrances to count returning boats. The data include weather conditions encountered during field sampling.

Power plant energy data and map are from the California Energy Commission. The CEC licenses thermal power plants 50 megawatts (MW) and greater and the infrastructure serving the plants such as electric transmission lines, fuel supply lines, and water pipelines. These licensed plants are referred to as jurisdictional plants. This map depicts the generation from the CEC-licensed (jurisdictional) natural gas power plants and non-jurisdictional natural gas plants. Counties without symbols had no natural gas plants.

Recreational Fishing Effort Estimates from Progressive Angler Surveys (PAS) - Monterey County

Estimates of recreational fishing effort on Monterey County sandy beaches based on instantaneous angler counts from indicator Progressive Angler Surveys (PAS), April 2009 to December 2020.

Each of the 533 Excel spreadsheets in this database contains instantaneous counts, using Progressive Angler Survey (PAS) methodology, of recreational surf anglers fishing on sandy beaches from Carmel north to Zmudowski State Beach (northern half of Monterey County) from June 2009 to December 2020 (no data October and November 2012). Usually four PAS were completed each month, two on weekend/holiday mornings and two on weekday mornings. These were considered "indicator" surveys. Anglers were included in the count if they were arriving at, or leaving from, the site when the observer arrived. The observer remained at each site only long enough to obtain an accurate count, using binoculars; during foggy mornings this sometimes necessitated walking the beach. The following physical parameters were recorded for each PAS: date; arrival and departure time of observer; general weather conditions; sea surface, air temperature, swell height, swell period, wind speed, and wind direction (these six parameters were based on readings from the offshore Monterey Bay NOAA buoy); time and height of nearest low and high tide; and estimated horizontal visibility. Separate counts were recorded at each of 16 locations; these were generally subdivisions of eight specific, numbered sites as established by CDFW's California Recreational Fisheries Survey.

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: DMP000082. For more information, please visit https://wildlife.ca.gov/Data/Sci-Data.

Instantaneous Counts of Recreational Beach Anglers from Progressive Angler Survey (PAS) - Monterey County

Progressive Angler Survey: Instantaneous counts of recreational beach anglers in northern Monterey County from 2007 to 2020.

Excel spreadsheet contains instantaneous counts, using Progressive Angler Survey (PAS) methodology, of recreational surf anglers fishing on sandy beaches from Carmel north to Zmudowski State Beach (northern half of Monterey County). From 1 to 6 four PAS were completed each month from April 2007 to December 2020 (no data October and November 2012). Beginning in 2009, usually four PAS were completed each month, two on weekend/holiday mornings and two on weekday mornings. These were considered "indicator" surveys. Anglers were included in the count if they were arriving at, or leaving from, the site when the observer arrived. The observer remained at each site only long enogh to get an accurate count; during foggy mornings this sometimes necessitated walking the beach. Beginning in 2012, sea surface temperature was recorded (Fahenheit) from the morning of the count, using the reading from the offshore Monterey Bay NOAA buoy. More detailed counts by specifc site for indicator surveys are located in another CDFW data base (PAS counts)

Recreational Sandy Beach Angler Counts from Progressive Angler Surveys (PAS) - Monterey and Santa Cruz County

Recreational sandy beach angler counts from Progressive Angler Surveys (PAS) from 2007 to 2020 in Monterey County and from 2007 to 2008 in Santa Cruz County, and from On Site Angler Surveys, with tidal stage during count, from 2007 to 2008 in Monterey and Santa Cruz counties.

Instantaneous counts from PAS, and hourly counts from On Site Surveys, of recreational anglers fishing from shore on sandy beaches in Monterey and Santa Curz counties were documented from 2007 to 2020. Counts are separated by site number within each county as established by CDFW California Recreational Fisheries Survey protocols. Counts at each site are further distinguished by whether or not the count occurred during a 4-hour window centered at time of high tide. On site counts were done at the top of each hour during the 10- to 12-hr daylight period, and total number of unique anglers was recorded for each day.

Climate Explorer

<div><p>California is doubling down on efforts to achieve carbon
neutrality and build resilience to the impacts of climate change. While the
impacts vary in different regions of California, every area of the state is
already experiencing climate change impacts. The best available science tells
us that impacts will continue into the future and will include increases in
annual temperatures, changes to precipitation patterns such as longer and more
intense droughts, increases in wildfire areas and severity, sea level rise,
ocean warming, and the spread of invasive species. </p>

<p>The Climate Explorer contains interactive viewers allowing
users to explore predicted changes in temperature and precipitation, sea level
rise and storm severity, and opportunities to implement nature-based solutions,
which are actions that work with and enhance nature to help address societal
challenges on California’s landscapes. </p>

<p>The temperature and precipitation viewer provides access to
a subset of the data developed for the <a href='https://climateassessment.ca.gov/' target='_blank' rel='nofollow ugc noopener noreferrer'>4th California Climate

Waterfowl Breeding Population - California - 1992-2022

The Waterfowl Program annually monitors the waterfowl breeding population in California for conservation and to establish hunting frameworks within the Pacific Flyway, 1992-2022.

Data are collected from both a fixed-wing and helicopter with 2 observers in each. The survey is conducted about the third week in April in the Central Valley and second week in May in NE CA. The state is divided into 9 strata for sampling with transects/segments in each stratum. Species, sex, and breeding status collected.  Survey has been conducted since 1955 however a revised survey was developed in 1992 and continues annually. The project is funded by Pittman-Roberston Grant and State Duck Stamp funds.

Beach Width Monitoring - Bolsa Chica State Beach-Huntington Beach

Beach Width Monitoring Bolsa Chica State Beach-Huntington Beach region 5 records the monthly beach width of Bolsa Chica State Beach and Huntington Beach in order to document any trends of erosion that may be caused by the Bolsa Chica Ecological Reserve Inlet.

The entire width of the beach is measured monthly at 10 chosen locations on both sides of BCER inlet at a high tide of 5 ft. ,or as close to 5 ft. as possible, using a stake in the ground and a 100m measuring tape. Along with the width of the beach the exact time and tide height at the collection time is also recorded.
