GIS Data

The data accessible through this page are intended to be used by Geographic

Information System (GIS) users. The GIS data are based on information used

by NOAA Fisheries to identify areas designated as critical habitat under the

U.S. Endangered Species Act for 7 Evolutionarily Significant Units (ESUs) of

Pacific salmon and steelhead. For exact legal descriptions of proposed critical

habitat please consult the Federal Register notice.

The distribution data layers include information for both occupied and

unoccupied stream reaches, and a query of attribute values is necessary to

display occupied streams only. Please see metadata for more information.

All Shapefiles are in zip format. They will need to be downloaded to your

computer and unzipped to view.

An Interactive Mapper website, hosted by CalFish in cooperation with and as a

courtesy to NOAA Fisheries, will allow viewing the Critical Habitat GIS data.

The website is intended to serve the public as a general navigation tool of the

critical habitat designation. Every attempt has been made to ensure the accuracy

of the information depicted, however these depictions DO NOT constitute a

legal description of critical habitat.
