Pile Surfperch Mean Density - North Central Coast - 2010-11 - PISCO [ds1371]

This map service is a synthesis of the baseline characterization of kelp and shallow rock ecosystems inside and outside of several North Central Coast (NCC) MPAs at the time of their implementation. MPAs in the NCC study region (NCCSR) were implemented on May 1, 2010. Baseline characterizations were conducted by the Partnership for Interdisciplinary Studies of Coastal Oceans (PISCO) between August and October of 2010 and 2011. Visual SCUBA surveys took place at sites within MPAs and at their associated reference sites (sites outside MPA) to establish quantitative baselines for measuring future MPA effects (i.e., changes in community structure due to MPA implementation). This particular map service focuses on PISCO's characterization of fish communities aimed at estimating fish densities and fish size distribution. Refer to the following link for specifics regarding PISCO's “fish survey design” and “fish sampling methodology”: [http://www.piscoweb.org/research/science-by-discipline/ecosystem-monitoring/kelp-forest-monitoring/subtidal-sampling-protoco#FishSurvey]. Surveys for baseline characterization of kelp forest communities focused on the following MPAs: Point Arena SMR; Sea Lion Cove SMCA; Saunders Reef SMCA; Del Mar SMR; Stewarts Point SMR/SMCA; and Salt Point SMCA. From Point Arena to Salt Point, 35 cells (fundamental sampling units) were sampled via fish transects (inside and outside of MPAs) using stratified sampling across shore and at various depths in the kelp forests (5m, 10m, 15m and 20m). Utilizing PISCO's GPS coordinates of the 35 study cells (points), and details from PISCO's methods (see link above), we created estimated footprints of the areas in which these transects were surveyed (the 35 fundamental sampling units). From there, we also estimated the aggregated site polygons (aggregate sampling units) that comprise either an MPA or an MPA reference site; this resulted in 12 new polygons that were representative of the kelp and shallow rock ecosystems surveyed by PISCO. Stewarts Point SMR and SMCA are combined in the survey summaries to make up one of the ‘aggregate sampling units’ and therefore those feature classes have 11 instead of 12 features. These estimated study areas (fundamental and aggregate sampling units) were then used to synthesize and represent PISCO's fish survey results into the following map service product. The map service is a conglomeration of fish density and fish length metrics for the regions most abundant rockfish and non-rockfish species.

Predator Monitoring Study Hexagons - Statewide [ds2651]

The Predator Monitoring Sampling layer is used as the Sampling Frame for Predator Surveys conducted by the Department's Predator Monitoring Unit. The Sampling Frame is defined by a grid of 4 square mile hexagons (sampling units) covering the extent of California. The Unique_ID field in the attribute table is to identify individual sampling units. This layer was first created as the Sampling Frame for the 2008-2012 Multi-Region Mesocarnivore survey effort funded by the State Wildlife Grant T-11-1. The layer has since been used for multi-species predator surveys targeting the Sierra Nevada red fox and Wolverine. This layer is also used as the spatial component for the database housing predator survey results, and disseminating this information out to stakeholders and land managers.
WellSTAR Notices and Permits: Submitted Notices of Intention

This online map provides the locations of submitted Notice of Intention (NOI) records from CalGEM’s Well Statewide Tracking and Reporting System (WellSTAR) database. Records contain attributes related to the related applications and permits and associated wells. CalGEM is the Geologic Energy Management Division of the California Department of Conservation, formerly the Division of Oil, Gas, and Geothermal Resources (as of January 1, 2020).

Native Fishes Drought Response Stressor Monitoring - 2014 to 2017 [ds2820]

This layer is intended to be used as an informal means of spatially aggregating data collected by an array of regional teams monitoring drought effects upon California Streams. These informal regions are not definitive boundaries nor are they representative of any jurisdictional delineations of territory. These subregions are based upon spatially coherent subdivisions of California Department of Fish and Wildlife's seven geographically-defined administrative regions. A circular polygon has been added to the west of california in order to provide a spatial gateway for accessing statewide datasets and the full drought monitoring report.
NAIP 2009 4-Band 1m California

This service delivers all 4 bands of the NAIP 2009 aerial imagery. This service may be slower than other related NAIP 2009 services because of the amount and/or format of data being served. Band1=R, Band2=G, Band3=B, Band4=NearIR. This service is offered by the California Department of Fish and Wildlife (CDFW).
