Data Management Plan
DMP Template v2.0.1 (2015-01-01)
Please provide the following information, and submit to the NOAA DM Plan Repository.Reference to Master DM Plan (if applicable)
As stated in Section IV, Requirement 1.3, DM Plans may be hierarchical. If this DM Plan inherits provisions from a higher-level DM Plan already submitted to the Repository, then this more-specific Plan only needs to provide information that differs from what was provided in the Master DM Plan.
1. General Description of Data to be Managed
In nearshore marine areas, critical habitat includes areas contiguous with the shoreline from the line of extreme high water out to a depth no greater than 30 meters relative to mean lower low water.See the final rule (70 FR 52630) for descriptions of areas excluded from this critical habitat designation. Excluded Dept of Defense (DOD) lands and Indian lands were not clipped out of the data.
Notes: Only a maximum of 4000 characters will be included.
Notes: Data collection is considered ongoing if a time frame of type "Continuous" exists.
Notes: All time frames from all extent groups are included.
Notes: All geographic areas from all extent groups are included.
(e.g., digital numeric data, imagery, photographs, video, audio, database, tabular data, etc.)
(e.g., satellite, airplane, unmanned aerial system, radar, weather station, moored buoy, research vessel, autonomous underwater vehicle, animal tagging, manual surveys, enforcement activities, numerical model, etc.)
2. Point of Contact for this Data Management Plan (author or maintainer)
Notes: The name of the Person of the most recent Support Role of type "Metadata Contact" is used. The support role must be in effect.
Notes: The name of the Organization of the most recent Support Role of type "Metadata Contact" is used. This field is required if applicable.
3. Responsible Party for Data Management
Program Managers, or their designee, shall be responsible for assuring the proper management of the data produced by their Program. Please indicate the responsible party below.
Notes: The name of the Person of the most recent Support Role of type "Data Steward" is used. The support role must be in effect.
4. Resources
Programs must identify resources within their own budget for managing the data they produce.
5. Data Lineage and Quality
NOAA has issued Information Quality Guidelines for ensuring and maximizing the quality, objectivity, utility, and integrity of information which it disseminates.

Process Steps:
- Data creation process 2004 - 2005 cmhcs_nchf1.shp 1) Reclassify Puget Sound DEM. Original elevation measurements were in decimeters. We reclassified the elevation measurements to meters. Finlayson et al. 2000 2) Clip the WA State Saltwater Areas shapefile to the extent of the Puget Sound. WADNR 2001 3) Clip the Puget Sound DEM to the boundary of the Puget Sound. Finlayson et al. 2000; WADNR 2001 4) Derive the marine portion of the nearshore zone from the DEM. Query the clipped Puget Sound DEM for all values less than or equal to 0 meters and greater than or equal to -30 meters. Convert the results of the query into polygons. Finlayson et al. 2000 5) Edge match the polygons with the Puget Sound shoreline. WADNR 2001 6) Using the NOAA Electronic Navigational Charts (ENCs) to fill in the gap in the DEM. There is a gap of no data in the Puget Sound DEM that lies between the San Juan Islands and Bellingham Bay. We used the NOAA ENCs to estimate the area encompassed by the 30 meter bathymetry line. NOAA 2004 7) Identify units within the Puget Sound. We used watersheds (HUC5s) as our units in the freshwater habitat analysis, and decided that for the nearshore area analysis we would define our units based on groupings of HUC5s. We used WRIA and HUC5 boundaries to identify 19 units within the Puget Sound. Where the WRIAs meet the shoreline of the Puget Sound, we edge matched the WRIA boundaries to the HUC5 boundaries. REO 2002; ECY 2000 8) Divide the nearshore zone into 19 units. Overlay the nearshore zone with the 19 units to create the final data set. 9) Identify the subset of nearshore zones that are used by HCS chum salmon. Delete the areas that are not part of the HCS chum salmon ESU.
- 2019-07-17 00:00:00 - cmhcs_nchf1.shp (NAD_1927_Albers) geographic transformation, unprojected -> CMHCS_ch_poly.shp (GCS_North_American_1983 wkid 4269). Geometry was edited (features deleted), attributes were not edited, metadata was edited because it was blank (stored separately as html file "metadata_cmhcs_nchf1"). Deleted features that were not critical habitat from shapefile CMHCS_ch_poly.shp. Deleted features were those with DESC_ = “Land, not part of nearshore marine area” DESC_ = “Not part of nearshore marine area” Features remaining in shapefile had DESC_ = 'Offshore to a depth of 30 meters' (i.e., only features designated as critical habitat).
- 2021-04-26 00:00:00 - The 2019 version CMHCS_ch_poly.shp (GCS_North_American_1983 wkid 4269) was converted into the standardized feature class SalmonChum_HoodCanalsummerrunESU_20050902_poly (GCS_WGS_84 wkid 4326) using the National Critical Habitat Geodatabase processing protocol. During standardization, geometry was not edited. Attributes were edited. Metadata was edited and populated using the final rule and the 2005 html file "metadata_cmhcs_nchf1" that was stored separately from the source data in cmhcs_nchf1.shp (NAD_1927_Albers). Migrated fields: "NS_ZONE" into "UNIT", "DESC_" into "NOTES" Dropped fields: FID, AREA, PERIMETER, CMHCS_NCHF, CMHCS_NC_1, ESUCODE, WRIANUMB, WRIANAME

6. Data Documentation
The EDMC Data Documentation Procedural Directive requires that NOAA data be well documented, specifies the use of ISO 19115 and related standards for documentation of new data, and provides links to resources and tools for metadata creation and validation.

7. Data Access
NAO 212-15 states that access to environmental data may only be restricted when distribution is explicitly limited by law, regulation, policy (such as those applicable to personally identifiable information or protected critical infrastructure information or proprietary trade information) or by security requirements. The EDMC Data Access Procedural Directive contains specific guidance, recommends the use of open-standard, interoperable, non-proprietary web services, provides information about resources and tools to enable data access, and includes a Waiver to be submitted to justify any approach other than full, unrestricted public access.
Notes: The name of the Organization of the most recent Support Role of type "Distributor" is used. The support role must be in effect. This information is not required if an approved access waiver exists for this data.
Notes: This field is required if a Distributor has not been specified.
Notes: All URLs listed in the Distribution Info section will be included. This field is required if applicable.
Notes: This field is required if applicable.
8. Data Preservation and Protection
