Striped Surfperch Length Frequency - North Central Coast - 2010-11 - PISCO [ds1393]

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”: [https://piscoweb.org/kelp-forest-sampling-protocols]. 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.

Monarch Overwintering Areas - ACE [ds2861]

For more information, see the Terrestrial Significant Habitats Factsheet at [https://nrm.dfg.ca.gov/FileHandler.ashx?DocumentID=150834]. The California Department of Fish and Wildlife’s (CDFW) Areas of Conservation Emphasis (ACE) is a compilation and analysis of the best-available statewide spatial information in California on biodiversity, rarity and endemism, harvested species, significant habitats, connectivity and wildlife movement, climate vulnerability, climate refugia, and other relevant data (e.g., other conservation priorities such as those identified in the State Wildlife Action Plan (SWAP), stressors, land ownership). ACE addresses both terrestrial and aquatic data. The ACE model combines and analyzes terrestrial information in a 2.5 square mile hexagon grid and aquatic information at the HUC12 watershed level across the state to produce a series of maps for use in non-regulatory evaluation of conservation priorities in California. The model addresses as many of CDFWs statewide conservation and recreational mandates as feasible using high quality data sources. High value areas statewide and in each USDA Ecoregion were identified. The ACE maps and data can be viewed in the ACE online map viewer, or downloaded for use in ArcGIS.

Refuge Conveyance Waterways - Central Valley Project Improvement Act [ds2635]

Data was compiled to provide a singular visual representation of conveyance waterways and features available to deliver water to CVPIA wetland habitat area and to which delivery points. The data is intended to be used to evaluate whether potential new sources of refuge water supplies can utilize existing conveyance waterways and facilities. Delivery points are considered by the U.S. Bureau of Reclamation’s Refuge Water Supply Program as the boundary of wetland habitat areas as described by section 3406(d) of the CVPIA. - The National Hydrography Dataset (NHD) is a feature-based database that interconnects and uniquely identifies the stream segments or reaches that make up the nation's surface water drainage system.

Public Land Survey System (PLSS): Township and Range

In support of new permitting workflows associated with anticipated WellSTAR needs, the CalGEM GIS unit extended the existing BLM PLSS Township & Range grid to cover offshore areas with the 3-mile limit of California jurisdiction. The PLSS grid as currently used by CalGEM is a composite of a BLM download (the majority of the data), additions by the DPR, and polygons created by CalGEM to fill in missing areas (the Ranchos, and Offshore areas within the 3-mile limit of California jurisdiction). 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).
