Yellow Warbler Range - CWHR B430 [ds607]

Vector datasets of CWHR range maps are one component of California Wildlife Habitat Relationships (CWHR), a comprehensive information system and predictive model for California's wildlife. The CWHR System was developed to support habitat conservation and management, land use planning, impact assessment, education, and research involving terrestrial vertebrates in California. CWHR contains information on life history, management status, geographic distribution, and habitat relationships for wildlife species known to occur regularly in California. Range maps represent the maximum, current geographic extent of each species within California. They were originally delineated at a scale of 1:5,000,000 by species-level experts and have gradually been revised at a scale of 1:1,000,000. For more information about CWHR, visit the CWHR webpage ([https://www.wildlife.ca.gov/Data/CWHR]). The webpage provides links to download CWHR data and user documents such as a look up table of available range maps including species code, species name, and range map revision history; a full set of CWHR GIS data; .pdf files of each range map or species life history accounts; and a User Guide.

Interstate Connections -  California Essential Habitat Connectivity (CEHC) [ds619]

The California Department of Transportation (Caltrans) and California Department of Fish and Game (CDFG) commissioned the California Essential Habitat Connectivity Project because a functional network of connected wildlands is essential to the continued support of California's diverse natural communities in the face of human development and climate change. The Essential Connectivity Map depicts large, relatively natural habitat blocks that support native biodiversity (Natural Landscape Blocks) and areas essential for ecological connectivity between them (Essential Connectivity Areas). This coarse-scale map was based primarily on the concept of ecological integrity, rather than the needs of particular species. Essential Connectivity Areas are placeholder polygons that can inform land-planning efforts, but that should eventually be replaced by more detailed Linkage Designs, developed at finer resolution based on the needs of particular species and ecological processes. It is important to recognize that even areas outside of Natural Landscape Blocks and Essential Connectivity Areas support important ecological values that should not be "written off" as lacking conservation value. Furthermore, because the Essential Habitat Connectivity Map was created at the statewide scale, based on available statewide data layers, and ignored Natural Landscape Blocks smaller than 2,000 acres squared, it has errors of omission that should be addressed at regional and local scales.

Potential Riparian Connections - CEHC [ds622]

A product of the California Essential Habitat Connectivity Project - http://www.dfg.ca.gov/habcon/connectivity/, potential riparian connections were extracted from the Statewide 1:100k Routed Hydrography for California dataset (CDFG, Pacific States Marine Fisheries Commission September 2003 - see original metadata elsewhere in this document). The original data file is a 1:100,000-scale stream-based routed hydrography covering the entire State of California. Named rivers and streams that were 30,000 feet in length or longer were extracted from the dataset and added to Figures 3.1 to 3.9 in the report. These potential riparian connections were added to illustrate the contribution of streams and rivers in providing additional avenues for terrestrial and aquatic connectivity to the network of Natural Landscape Blocks and Essential Connectivity Areas. This analysis was conducted by SC Wildlands.
Vegetation - Oak Grove - San Diego County - 2011 [ds712]

The California Department of Fish and Wildlife Vegetation Classification and Mapping Program (VegCAMP) created a fine-scale vegetation classification and map of the Department's Oak Grove property, San Diego County, California following FGDC and National Vegetation Classification Standards. The vegetation classification was derived from floristic field survey data collected in the field in May 2010 and was based on previously described Alliances and Associations. The map was produced using true-color 2009 1-meter National Agricultural Imagery Program (NAIP) imagery as the base. Supplemental imagery including 2005 1-meter California Color Infrared (CIR) and true-color 1-foot aerial imagery available through GlobeXplorer ImageConnect were also used. The minimum mapping unit (MMU) is one acre, with the exception of wetland types, which were sometimes mapped to ½ acre. Field verification of 45 percent of the mapped polygons was conducted in June 2011; in combination with the 2010 sampling effort, 83 percent of the polygons were verified in the field.
National Fish Habitat Action Plan (NFHAP) Habitat Condition Indices [ds733]

The mission of the National Fish Habitat Action Plan is to protect, restore, and enhance the nation's fish and aquatic communities through partnerships that foster fish habitat conservation and improve the quality of life for the American people. Reversal of widespread fish habitat degradation will require effective spatial planning, which begins with spatial assessement of current habitat conditions. This dataset presents an assessment of cumulative anthropogenic disturbance to fish habitats in California under the assumption that downstream local habitat conditions will reflect conditions in the catchment upstream. Geographic information systems data was used to attribute 15 disturbance variables to the catchments of mapped river reaches to calibrate an index of cumulative disturbance that considered effects originating from both local and upstream catchments. These features contain local and network catchment human disturbance variables representing anthropogenic alterations to landscapes in California, including land use, roads, dams, mines, and point-source pollution sites. The source datasets that were compiled and attributed to catchments were identified as being: (1) meaningful for assessing fish habitat; (2) consistent across the entire study area in the way that they were assembled; (3) representative of conditions in the past 10 years, and (4) of sufficient spatial resolution that they could be used to make valid comparisons among local catchment units. These variables can be linked to the reaches and catchments of the National Hydrography Dataset Plus (NHDPlus). For more information visit www.fishhabitat.org
Fisheries Restoration Grant Program (FRGP) Boundary [ds734]

The CDFW Fisheries Restoration Grant Program (FRGP) funds grants for habitat restoration work benefiting salmon and steelhead via an annual Proposal Solicitation process. This shapefile describes the area that the FRGP covers, and was created by clipping the CDFW Region boundaries to the coastal watersheds in which the FRGP funds grants. In some locations, the boundary line matches the CDFW Region boundary. There is some overlap due to the FRGP Region being based on watershed not region. If you find that you need more information on a watershed that you do not see please contact the Data Management Specialist at 916-376-8636.
Stream Habitat Reach Summary - South Coast [ds768]

This dataset contains in-stream salmonid habitat data summarized at the reach level. The data have been summarized from habitat unit level data collected by CDFW from November 2010 into September 2012. The database represents salmonid stream habitat surveys from 12 streams. Approximately 160 miles of streams were surveyed. The database helps identify and describe in-stream habitat available to anadromous salmonids within watersheds of the Santa Ynez hydrologic unit of the Central Coast Hydrologic Regions. Data were collected using standardized survey techniques according to the version of the "California Stream Habitat Restoration Manual" (see Flosi et al.) that was current in the year of survey. Field survey teams measured up to 60 parameters for selected habitat units. Stream surveys typically started at the downstream confluence and proceeded upstream to the "limit of anadromy" as assessed by the survey crew. WHAT EACH RECORD REPRESENTS Each record in this dataset represents in-stream habitat unit level data summarized at the stream reach level. A habitat unit is the base level for the stream habitat surveys and is generally determined by the occurrence of riffle, run and pool sections along the stream. Stream reaches are determined by changes in stream channel type as described by Rosgen (1994).
