Amphibian Restoration - High Mountain Lakes [ds103]

This data provides an overview of native amphibian restoration sites in the Sierra Nevada. Following High Mountain Lakes surveys, fish were manually removed at some high elevation lake sites. Removals of non-native trout were done at sites with mountain yellow-legged frogs or with frogs nearby. Fish removal is done without the use of chemicals, using monofilament gill nets and electrofishing. Gill nets catch adult and juvenile fish. Electrofishing is used primarily as a way to remove fish from small tributary streams and fry (less than 70mm) from shallow areas. Current literature has shown that mountain yellow-legged frog populations can rebound quickly after trout removal. Frog population counts at CDFW sites support this finding. The restoration data, along with the related high mountain lakes amphibian, fish and fisheries project data sets represent biological surveys conducted at a series of lakes in the Sierra Nevada ranging from Plumas County in the north to Tulare County in the south. During High Mountain Lake (HML) surveys, Sierra Nevada lentic waters were surveyed for fish, frogs, habitats, stream barriers to fish movement and presence of fairy shrimp. Lakes with fish were surveyed using monofilament gill nets. Amphibians were detected and documented based on direct observation. Contact Sarah Mussulman (916) 358-2838 for additional survey protocol detail and a description of methods. As part of the development of the biological data sets, researchers created a detailed coverage of lakes for (ostensibly) all known lentic water bodies in California above 5000’ elevation. Lake features were digitized from USGS 1:24000 quadrangles and assigned a unique identifying number. High Mountain Lakes (HML) surveys were performed in the Sierra Nevada starting in 2001 and use these unique ID numbers to reference waterbodies. WHAT EACH RECORD REPRESENTS: Each record represents a lake where CDFW has begun removing fish to benefit a population of mountain yellow-legged frogs. The majority of lakes in this dataset are currently fishless; a handful are active fish removal sites.

Vegetation - North Carrizo Plain Mitigation Lands [ds1095]

The California Department of Fish and Wildlife (CDFW) Vegetation Classification and Mapping Program (VegCAMP) has created a fine-scale vegetation map of the Department’s mitigation lands in the northern portion of the Carrizo Plain, San Luis Obispo County, California. The mapping follows Survey of California Vegetation, Federal Geographic Data Committee (FGDC), and National Vegetation Classification (NVC) standards (FGDC 2008, Jennings et al. 2009). The map legend is based on the classification in Stout et al. (2013), with slight modifications as discussed in Appendix C of the project report, which is available here: https://nrm.dfg.ca.gov/FileHandler.ashx?DocumentID=92969. Reconnaissance-level sampling of vegetation stands in the project area was conducted in the spring of 2013. Polygons were drawn using heads-up digitizing using the July 2011 1-foot imagery acquired for San Luis Obispo County and downloaded from US Geological Survey (USGS) EarthExplorer as the map base. Supplemental imagery included National Agricultural Imagery Program (NAIP) true color and color infrared (CIR) 1-meter resolution data from 2010–2012, Bing imagery, and current and historical imagery from Google Earth. The minimum mapping unit (MMU) is ½ acre in order to capture small, remnant native stands of trees, shrubs, and bunch grasses. Mapping is to the NVC hierarchy Association, Alliance, or Group level based on the ability of the photointerpreters to distinguish types based on all imagery available and on the field data. Field verification data was collected in the spring of 2014 and corrections were made to the map based on that data to increase the final accuracy.

Estuarine Ecosystems, California North Coast MPA Baseline Study, 2014 to 2016

The North Coast has 16 major estuaries that support a wide diversity of plant and animal life, including salmon and other commercially important species. The focus of this project is to describe and evaluate the ecological status of representative and under-studied estuaries in the region by surveying plants, invertebrates and fishes in tidal mudflats and eelgrass beds of four estuaries – three within MPAs (Humboldt Bay, Big River and Ten Mile River) and the Mad River Estuary. Field surveys will be conducted multiple times a year for two years to better document seasonal and interannual variability in species abundances and diversity, as well as changes in the sizes of focal species, such as bivalves, eelgrass, and black rockfish, among others. Estuarine ecosystems are largely driven by a complex set of interacting physical variables, including freshwater flows, seasonal closures of lagoon mouths and ocean water properties related to winds and upwelling. Information about these “abiotic” variables will be distilled to describe the “contextual conditions” in each estuary. During the analysis phase of their project, scientists will identify baseline and contextual metrics that might allow for future evaluation of MPA performance. This project is a collaboration among academic scientists, North Coast tribes, and ecological consultants.
