1. General Description of Data to be Managed

1.1. Name of the Data, data collection Project, or data-producing Program:
Outer Coast of Washington and Oregon 2014 ESI RESOURCE MANAGEMENT Polygons, Points
1.2. Summary description of the data:

This data set contains vector polygons depicting boundaries for commercial fishing, critical habitats, fishery areas, recreational fishing, scenic rivers and subsistence areas; vector points depict locations of aquacultures, repeated measurement sites, and water intakes found on the outer coast of Washington and Oregon.

As a whole, the ESI data characterize the marine and coastal environments and wildlife by their sensitivity to spilled oil, and include information for three main components: shoreline habitats, sensitive biological resources, and human-use resources. The entirety of the ESI Human-Use data layers for this region consists of: PARKS-MANAGED AREAS Polygons; NAVIGATION-MARINE Points; POLITICAL-JURISDICTIONAL Polygons, Lines, Points; RESOURCE MANAGEMENT Polygons, Points; SOCECON Points, Lines; and NATURAL HAZARD Polygons.

(describe or provide URL of description):

Process Steps:

  • 2015-10-01 00:00:00 - Steps 1, 2, 3, and 6 apply to vector polygons found in any of the feature data layers in the SOCECON feature dataset. Step 4 applies to linear features, and step 5 applies to point features that appear in the SOCECON feature dataset. The sources cited above apply specifically to the polygons found in the PARKS-MANAGED AREAS data layer. The mapping extent was dependent upon information availability and location of mapped coastal habitats and shorelines. Sources of data used to depict human-use resources in this data layer include expert knowledge from Washington Treaty Tribes: Hoh Tribe, Makah Tribe, Quileute Tribe, Quinault Tribe, Shoalwater Bay Tribe; and digital datasets provided by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE), U.S. Coast Guard (USCG), U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS), NOAA, National Park Service (NPS), U.S. Census Bureau (USCB), U.S. Forest Service (USFS), U.S. Bureau of Land Management (BLM), Washington Department of Ecology (WECY), Washington Department of Transportation (WDOT), Washington Department of Health (WDOH), Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife (WDFW), Washington Department of Natural Resources (WDNR), Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife (ODFW), Oregon Parks and Recreation Department (OPRD), Portland State University - Institute of Natural Resources (PSU-INR), Oregon Department of Agriculture (ODA) and Oregon Department of Geology and Mineral Institutes (DOGAMI).
  • 2015-10-01 00:00:00 - Army Corps of Engineers - USACE regulatory boundaries were downloaded from the USACE geoplatform. Coast Guard - USCG district boundaries were downloaded from the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) ScienceBase catalog. Commercial fishing - Commercial fishing areas show ODA Commercial Shellfish Management Areas (CSMA) where shellfishing is approved, approved conditionally, or unclassified. Critical Habitat - Designated Critical Habitat was mapped for chum salmon, Chinook salmon, Coho salmon, Pacific euchalon, sockeye salmon, steelhead salmon, leatherback sea turtle, green sturgeon with data downloaded from NOAA Fisheries. Bull trout, Steller sea lion, killer whale, western snowy plover, marbled murrelet, northern spotted owl, streaked horned lark, and Oregon silverspot butterfly were mapped with data downloaded through the USFWS Critical Habitat Portal. Critical Habitat for mammals, birds, and insects were mapped "as is". Fishery Area - Fishery areas provided by WDOH and ODFW represent recreational and commercial shellfishing areas where shellfishing is either permitted, conditionally permitted, or unclassified. Salmon Catch and Management Reporting Areas were provided by WDFW. Recreational shellfishing beaches in Washington designated with approved, approved conditionally, or unclassified shellfishing were selected and buffered with a 50 m onshore/offshore buffer. Usual and Accustomed Fishing Areas were mapped for Washington Treaty Tribes when boundaries of these marine areas were made available by the Tribes.
  • 2015-10-01 00:00:00 - Tribal Lands - Oregon tribal lands were downloaded from the USCB MAF/TIGER geographic database. Boundaries for tribal lands in Washington were downloaded from the WDOT. The Hoh Tribe provided their own digital reservation boundaries. Management Areas - Boundaries for Areas of Critical Environmental Concern were downloaded from BLM. Wilderness Areas were obtained from the USFS Automated Lands Program. Habitat Areas of Particular Concern (HAPC) show Groundfish HAPC for all Washington state waters (3 nm), canopy kelp, rocky reefs, and seagrass. HAPCs were downloaded from NOAA's National Marine Protected Areas Center (NMPAC) and merged into a single feature. Wildlife Areas and Natural Conservation Areas and Area Preserves were provided by the WDNR. Marine Gardens, Conservation Areas were downloaded from PSU-INR. Research Reserves, Habitat Refuges, and Shellfish Preserves in Oregon were provided by USGS Pacific Coast Fisheries GIS database and originally published by NOAA, NMPAC. Marine Reserves, Marine Protected Areas, and Seabird Protection Areas were downloaded from the OregonInfo Data Catalog. OPRD supplied the boundaries for Western Snowy Plover Recovery Areas. Marine Sanctuary - The Olympic Coast National Marine Sanctuary (OCNMS) boundary was provided by NOAA's National Marine Sanctuaries Program. National Estuarine Research Reserve (NERR) - Boundary data was provided by the South Slough NERR System. National Park - Boundaries for the Lewis and Clark National Historical Park were used from the National Park boundaries dataset downloaded from Data.gov. Olympic National Park boundaries were provided by Olympic National Park staff. Nature Conservancy - Nature Conservancy lands were downloaded from PSU-INR and USGS Gap Analysis Program for Oregon and Washington, respectively. Repeated Measurement Site - Tso'yess Beach and Greenville Beach intertidal repeated measurement sites were mapped as 50 m onshore/offshore buffer of the ESI shoreline between north/south coordinates provided by OCNMS staff. Scenic River - Boundaries for Wild and Scenic Rivers were obtained from USFS GeoData catalog. Subsistence -culturally significant harvest areas for shoreline associated resources were mapped along shorelines where WA Treaty Tribe reservation boundaries intersected with the ocean. Tsunami Inundation Areas - Data were provided by WDNR and DOGAMI and represent the maximum extent of possible tsunami inundation from various tsunami model scenarios. Wildlife Refuge - USFWS National Wildlife Refuge (NWR) data were downloaded from the USFWS National Cadastral Data. Oregon Islands NWR and Flattery Rocks NWR were edited to include those emergent rocks reflected in the updated ESI shoreline.

  • 2015-10-01 00:00:00 - The above digital and/or hardcopy sources were compiled by the project biologist to create the SOCEON data layers. Depending on the type of source data, three general approaches are used for compiling the data layer: 1) information gathered during initial interviews and from hardcopy sources are compiled onto U.S. Geological Survey 1:24,000 topographic quadrangles and digitized; 2) hardcopy maps are digitized at their source scale; 3) digital data layers are evaluated and used "as is" or integrated with the hardcopy data sources. See the Lineage section for additional information on the type of source data for this data layer. The ESI, biology, and human-use data are compiled into the standard ESI digital data format. A second set of interviews with participating resource experts are conducted to review the compiled data. If necessary, edits to the SOCECON data are made based on the recommendations of the resource experts, and final hardcopy maps and digital data are created.
