1. General Description of Data to be Managed

1.1. Name of the Data, data collection Project, or data-producing Program:
Coho salmon central California coast ESU critical habitat for use in ESA/FIFRA consultations
1.2. Summary description of the data:

These data represent critical habitat designated (May 5, 1999, 64 FR 24049) under the Endangered Species Act for the Central California Coast coho salmon ESU.Critical habitat includes the water, substrate, and adjacent riparian zone of estuarine and riverine reaches (including off-channel habitats). The riparian area is defined as the area adjacent to a stream that provides the following functions: shade, sediment, nutrient or chemical regulation, streambank stability, and input of large woody debris or organic matter.See the final rule (64 FR 24049) for descriptions of areas excluded from this critical habitat designation. Excluded Indian lands were not clipped out of the data.

Process Steps:

  • 2019-10-10 00:00:00 - Data creation process 2019. COCCC_CH.shp Central California Coast (CCC) coho data were developed as part of an effort to interpret and depict several salmonid critical habitat designations completed in the 1990s that relied on text-based descriptions but lacked GIS data. Critical habitat areas were identified based on the following: - The regulatory definition of ESA critical habitat for this ESU found at 50 CFR 226.210 (a) and the supporting final rule (64 FR 24061, May 5, 1999); - U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) high resolution National Hydrography Dataset (NHD) - downloaded February 2018; - Intrinsic Potential (IP) GIS data from a juvenile coho rearing model developed by the Southwest Fisheries Science Center (SWFSC); - National Elevation Data and Digital Topographic Maps; - California Fish Passage Assessment Database [ds69, published 2019-03-05] and Coho Distribution [ds326, published 2016-06-22] from the California Department of Fish and Wildlife (CDFW); - The professional judgment of biologists from the NMFS California Coastal Office, Protected Resources Division, and SWFSC; and - Maps and documentation in these references: Spence, B.C., Harris, S.L., Jones, W.E., Goslin, M.N., Agrawal, A., and E. Mora. 2005. Historical occurrence of coho salmon in streams of the Central California Coast coho salmon Evolutionarily Significant Unit. Technical Memorandum NOAA-TM-NMFS-SWFSC-383.

Final Recovery Plan for Central California Coast coho salmon Evolutionarily Significant Unit. National Marine Fisheries Service, Southwest Region, Santa Rosa, California. Spatial analysis steps to produce data. 1) Clipped the NHD to the text description from the critical habitat designation 2) Partitioned the NHD into 100 meter segments 3) Calculated the gradient of each 100 meter segment using a 10 meter USGS digital elevation model (DEM) 4) Used the NHD's flow direction and a geometric network to analyze gradient, removed segments upstream of 7% gradients (reference: Agrawal et. al. 2005 - Figure 1 gradient suitability curve for coho) 5) Retained segments downstream of 7% gradients that were too small (<= 20 meters) to rely on the gradient value (i.e., 1 to 2 pixels in the DEM) or were artificial paths (NHD FCode 55800) to maintain network connectivity 6) Retained segments that overlapped with CDFW coho distribution data (field observations) and SWFSC intrinsic potential coho data (model) with the 21.5 deg C temperature mask applied (Agrawal et. al. 2005) 7) Removed segments upstream from total natural barriers, total anthropogenic barriers, and partial barriers that were specifically identified as blocking upstream adult coho migration 8) Removed segments identified by NMFS biologists as not being accessible to or suitable habitat for coho. The following tribal lands were excluded from the Central California Coast coho critical habitat designation, but were not clipped out of the spatial data: Cloverdale Rancheria, Coyote Valley Rancheria, Dry Creek Rancheria, Guidiville Rancheria, Hopland Rancheria, Lytton Rancheria, Manchester/Point Arena Rancheria, Pinoleville Rancheria, and Stewarts Point Rancheria. **IMPORTANT NOTE** Critical habitat was designated to include "all river reaches accessible in 1999" to CCC coho salmon from Punta Gorda in northern California south to the San Lorenzo River in central California, including Arroyo Corte Madera Del Presidio and Corte Madera Creek, tributaries to San Francisco Bay. These spatial data are NMFS' best estimate of "all
  • 2021-05-24 00:00:00 - The source data in COCCC_CH.shp (GCS_North_American_1983) were post processed to COCCC_ch_FINAL_20210524 (GCS_North_American_1983). The 100 meter segments (39,816 feature count) leftover from the gradient analysis were cumbersome and deemed unnecessary for publication. COCCC_CH.shp fields: FID, Shape, Permanent_, FDate, Resolution, GNIS_ID, GNIS_Name, LengthKM, ReachCode, FlowDir, WBArea_Per, FType, FCode, MainPath, InNetwork, Visibility, Enabled, POINT_X, POINT_Y, POINT_X_1, POINT_Y_1, RASTERVALU, RASTERVA_1, Diff, Percent, meters, Shape_Leng, DPS Geometry editing steps included: 1) ccc_coho_post_processing_remove100msegs.gdb -> converted "COCCC_CH.shp" to a feature class "COCCC_CH" in the gdb 2) Selected, by location, all features in the original 2018 NHD that shared a line segment with "COCCC_CH" 3) Exported selected NHD features to "COCCC_CH_NHDselectexport" 4) Used "COCCC_CH" to clip NHD features in "COCCC_CH_NHDselectexport" and created "COCCC_CH_NHDselectexport_clip" 5) Reviewed output against source and found a single feature that did not migrate, added the feature in with merge tool to create final layer "COCCC_ch_FINAL_20210524" (feature count 7,301).
  • 2021-05-25 00:00:00 - Version COCCC_ch_FINAL_20210524 (GCS_North_American_1983) was converted into the standardized feature class SalmonCoho_CentralCaliforniaCoastESU_19990505 (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/CFR and the source COCCC_CH.shp (GCS_North_American_1983). Migrated fields: "GNIS_Name" into "UNIT", "FCode" into "NOTES" (populated descriptions with FCode values) Dropped fields: OBJECTID, Permanent_Identifier, FDate, Resolution, GNIS_ID, LengthKM, ReachCode, FlowDir, WBArea_Permanent_Identifier, FType, MainPath, InNetwork, VisibilityFilter, Shape_Length
  • 2023-03-30 00:00:00 - As described above, this species’ HUC-based critical habitat dataset was modified from the line-based species “agency-official” NMFS critical habitat data. This HUC-based critical habitat file represents the HUC-12 watersheds (USGS Watershed Boundary Dataset; https://www.usgs.gov/national-hydrography/watershed-boundary-dataset) that intersect with the “agency-official” critical habitat line-based data. The data were reviewed and revised to add any additional HUC-12 watersheds that were determined to have hydrologic connectivity to the critical habitat.
