California Department of Fish and Wildlife 20121102 vector digital data https://wildlife.ca.gov/Data/BIOS https://filelib.wildlife.ca.gov/Public/BDB/GIS/BIOS/Public_Datasets/700_799/ds768.zip This dataset contains in-stream salmonid habitat data summarized at the reach level. The data have been summarized from habitat unit level data collected by CDFW from November 2010 into September 2012. The database represents salmonid stream habitat surveys from 12 streams. Approximately 160 miles of streams were surveyed. The database helps identify and describe in-stream habitat available to anadromous salmonids within watersheds of the Santa Ynez hydrologic unit of the Central Coast Hydrologic Regions. Data were collected using standardized survey techniques according to the version of the "California Stream Habitat Restoration Manual" (see Flosi et al.) that was current in the year of survey. Field survey teams measured up to 60 parameters for selected habitat units. Stream surveys typically started at the downstream confluence and proceeded upstream to the "limit of anadromy" as assessed by the survey crew. WHAT EACH RECORD REPRESENTS Each record in this dataset represents in-stream habitat unit level data summarized at the stream reach level. A habitat unit is the base level for the stream habitat surveys and is generally determined by the occurrence of riffle, run and pool sections along the stream. Stream reaches are determined by changes in stream channel type as described by Rosgen (1994). This database helps identify and describe instream habitat available to anadromous salmonids within the surveyed streams. The data were collected by Department of Fish and Game primarily to: 1) provide a useful source of information for evaluating, designing and monitoring stream habitat improvements for salmonids based on critical fish habitat needs and 2) aid in internal management decisions regarding stream restoration projects and potential. DATA LIMITATIONS AND ASSUMPTIONS For analytical purposes, users should assume that data collection methods were similar enough between streams, years, and observers to allow comparison of relative values. Observer bias is presumed to be low to non-existent. Reach-level in-stream habitat data are designed for suitability assessment of salmonid habitat at local levels. They should not be used for large watershed-level assessment tasks as assessment at this level would require either complete stream sampling or a statistically derived sample design providing for assignment of measured parameters, within acceptable error limits, on a watershed-wide basis. KNOWN CAVEATS OF THE DATA: A significant scaling error often occurs in these data. Some of this error could be from mapping fine-scale ground measurements to a coarser map scale. In most cases, distances measured at a fine scale will exceed measurements at a course scale (Mandelbrot, 1982). Due to this and other error sources, habitat units for some streams may not be accurately placed on the map. GPS units were used to collect latitude/longitude waypoints at various points throughout the survey. These were used to more accurately locate the start and end of stream reaches as opposed to the alternative of using distances upstream and dynamic segmentation. This will hopefully eliminate some of the scaling error. Habitat conditions can change drastically both from year to year and within a season. Factors to consider when comparing between years or seasons include variable stream flows (especially flood events), temperatures and silt loads. Use caution when analyzing these data with other time-dependent data such as stream biological inventories and salmon carcass surveys. Streams of the Santa Ynez hydrologic unit of the Central Coast Hydrologic Region (Calwater 2.2.1) were surveyed. In the Central Coast Region, Buchhorn Cree, Cachuma Creek, East Fork Santa Cruz Creek, El Jaro Creek, Indian Creek, Mono Creek, Nojoqui Creek, Oso Creek, Salsipuedes Creek, Santa Cruz Creek, Santa Ynez River, and West Fork Santa Cruz Creek were surveyed in Santa Barbara County This dataset consists of data collected in 2010, 2011, and 2012. The collection period ranged from January to December (entire year). DATA COMPILATION HISTORY The background describing development of salmonid stream habitat restoration projects and data is described in Flosi et al. (1998). A long-term decline in salmon and steelhead fisheries led to growing private and public interest in restoring salmonid stream habitat. By the late 1980's the department was leading major efforts in this area including development of this dataset. During the middle 1990's, Michael Byrne of CDFW compiled these data and created routed hydrography using USGS 1:100,000 scale digital line graph hydrography and Arc Macro Language procedures to establish flow direction. Preliminary results and a detailed description of the process were published in a paper presented at the 1996 ESRI Users Conference (Michael Byrne, 1996). In the report he stated that "From Oregon to Sonoma County, 290 salmonid spawning streams (766 miles of stream) have been surveyed and georeferenced using this protocol". The work continued, but was not completed, especially in terms of editing for data quality. SPATIAL DATA CAPTURE METHODS: Initially, these files were in dBase IV (*.dbf) format. They had been processed using "HABITAT", a California Department of Fish and Wildlife DOS based program for entering, summarizing and analyzing data. The files have now been processed through an updated Visual Basic version of the "HABITAT" (Stream Habitat, Version 2.0.11) and consolidated into one shapefile. Line events were routed in ArcGIS 10 using a 1:24,000 routed California Streams hydrography developed by Tom Christy of theCalifornia Department of Fish and Wildlife. In the past upstream distanced were used to map stream reach summary data along routed hydrography from a known starting point. Latitude/longitude values were collected using GPSat regular intervals as part of this survey. Therefore, exact locations for the start and end points of stream reaches were know. Here is a summary of the steps taken to map this South Coast data. 1. Get stream inventory summary statistics by reach result exports (table 8) from the Stream Habitat program. 2. Get location table of lat/longs for habitat and data unit locations from field crew. 3. Pair lat/longs from location table with the database units that define the start and end locations of the various stream reaches. 4. Plot these stream reach start and end location points. 5. Snap these point loations to 1:24,000 scale California Streams hydrography. 6. Use snapped points to split hydrography line segments into reach segments using ArcMap 10 editing tools. 7. Join table 8 stream reach summary statistics to stream reach line segments using the Reach field. 8. Export the complete data that provides stream reaches with stream inventory data summarized for the reach. 7. Join reach summary statistics (table 8 stream The data processing efforts represented in this dataset were by Pacific States Marine Fisheries Commission through a Fisheries Restoration Grant Program grant. CDFW employees and cooperators (such as Americorps and California Conservation Corps) who collected the data in the field are included in the records.

However, both spatial and content errors are possible and should be expected. The most common error, present on every stream, is spatial location. Fine-scale habitat data were collected on the ground and habitat units measured in the middle of the stream. In contrast, routing was conducted on 1:24,000 scale stream line work. Therefore, the location of any habitat unit will not match locations on the ground. Other commonly encountered errors include data range (e.g. percentages exceeding 100), data entry, and data processing.
