Description: This dataset documents fish distribution and activity for ALL FISH SPECIESavailable from data submitted to the regional StreamNet project by partner agencies. This dataset was compiled from separate spatial datasets contributed by StreamNet partners as of January 31, 2019. Distribution is based upon survey data and, in some cases, the best professional judgement of local fish biologists, in the Pacific Northwest Region (Oregon, Washington, Idaho and Montana). These data were collected by biologists at the state fish & wildlife agencies of Washington (WDFW), Oregon (ODFW), Idaho (IDFG) and Montana (MFWP). Data were then compiled into spatial datasets by StreamNet partners. These seperate source layers (identified in the References section of this metadata record) were submitted to the GIS staff at Pacific States Marine Fisheries Commision (PSMFC) where they were combined in to a single consistent regional dataset. These and other related data are available for download from the StreamNet website and are also publicly avialable on ArcGIS Online and via public web mapping applications.
Copyright Text: Data was compiled by the StreamNet project (http://www.streamnet.org ), which is administered by the Pacific States Marine Fisheries Commission. Data was provided by Washington Dept. of Fish and Wildlife, Oregon Dept. of Fish and Wildlife, Idaho Dept. of Fish and Game and Montana Fish Wildlife and Parks. The StreamNet project is funded by the Bonneville Power Administration (BPA Project # 1988-108-04).
Description: SWIFD is the Statewide Washington Integrated Fish Distribution, presented as a linear featureclass based on WA single stream identifiers (LLID). The Statewide Washington Integrated Fish Distribution (SWIFD) dataset is a single National Hydrography Dataset (NHD) event layer for the state of Washington. Within the Treaty Tribes and Washington State co-management area, the Northwest Indian Fisheries (NWIFC) and Washington State Department of Fish and Wildlife (WDFW) collaborated to create a single data schema and to combine fish distribution data. The NWIFC and WDFW combined data area is within the boundaries of Washington State Water Resource Inventory Areas (WRIA) 01 -- 23. This is the western Washington region including the western Washington Cascades, the Puget Sound, the Hood Canal, the Strait of Juan de Fuca, and the Olympic peninsula from the Nooksack River in the north (WRIA 01) to the Chehallis River (WRIA 22/23) in the South. The data schema remains the same for Washington state fish distribution data outside of the co-management area, but all fish distribution data outside of the co-management area is supplied by WDFW. The foundational fish distribution dataset is an event table that contains attributes for each species of fish, anadromous and resident, that have previously been mapped by either NWIFC or WDFW. This event layer maps to the ROUTED 1:24,000-scale version of NHD for Washington state, using NHD ReachCodes as the route identifier, and relative 0-100 linear measures within each reach/route. SWIFD events are in the USGS Hydrologic Event Management (HEM, http://nhd.usgs.gov/tools.html#hem) table format and HEM is used to update and maintain the event tables. Each individual fsh species/run contains information on verification of the upper extent of fish distribution, life history, and habitat use. In the final dataset all the individual fish species/run distributions are stacked onto the NHD reaches, so a given stream reach with 6 unique species/runs will have 6 features associated with it. Usually a definition query is applied to this featureclass to display a single species at a time. The event table structure of the dataset does allow groups of species/runs to be integrated via the use of event overlays. Users should also pay attention to the DISTTYPE_DESC field to ensure they are displaying the appropriate records for their purposes. In particular, there are confirmed absence records for certain species that should not be displayed as occupied stream habitat. SWIFD is developed by dissolving the foundational NHD ReachCode event table SWIFD_2HEM_evts by the LLID and the specific fish record attributes: LLID;LLID_STRM_NAME;SPECRCODE;SPECIESRUN;SPECCODE;SPECIES;RUN_TIME;RUNTIME_DESC;DIST_TYPE;DISTTYPE_DESC;USE_TYPE;USETYPE_DESC;LIFE_HIST;LIFEHIST_DESC;

Description: Oregon Fish Habitat Distribution.These data describe areas of suitable habitat believed to be used currently or historically by native or non-native fish populations. The term "currently" is defined as within the past five reproductive cycles. Historical habitat includes suitable habitat that fish no longer access and will not access in the foreseeable future without human intervention. This information is based on sampling, the best professional opinion of Oregon Dept. of Fish and Wildlife or other natural resources agency staff biologists or modeling (see the fhdBasis field). Due to natural variations in run size, water conditions, or other environmental factors, some habitats identified may not be used annually. These data now comply with the Oregon Fish Habitat Distribution Data Standard that was adopted by the Oregon Geographic Information Council in June 2015. The Standard document can be found at: http://www.oregon.gov/DAS/CIO/GEO/fit/bioscience/docs/OregonFishHabitatDistributionDataStandardv3.pdf. Historical habitat distribution data are within the scope of the standard and are identified via the habitat use (fhdUseType) attribute. Historical habitats are only identified outside of currently accessible habitat and are not comprehensive. Key features of the Oregon Fish Habitat Distribution Data include: species, run, life history, habitat use, origin, production, the basis for each record, originator name, originator entity and reference. Habitat distribution data are mapped at a 1:24,000 scale statewide and are based on the National Hydrography dataset. The data are made available as GIS files in both shapefile and ESRI geodatabase format. The data were developed over an extensive time period ranging from 1996 to 2019. The data are now managed on the National Hydrography Dataset and have been synchronized to April 2019 NHD geometry.

Description: <DIV STYLE="text-align:Left;"><DIV><DIV><P><SPAN>The Washington Natural Heritage Program maintains a database of rare and imperiled species and plant communities for the state. The Element Occurrence (EO) records that form the core of the Natural Heritage database include information on the location, status, characteristics, numbers, condition, and distribution of elements of biological diversity using established Natural Heritage Methodology developed by NatureServe and The Nature Conservancy (TNC). An Element Occurrence (EO) is an area of land and/or water in which a species or natural community is, or was, present. An EO should have practical conservation value for the Element as evidenced by potential continued (or historical) presence and/or regular recurrence at a given location. For species Elements, the EO often corresponds with the local population, but when appropriate may be a portion of a population or a group of nearby populations (e.g., metapopulation). For community Elements, the EO may represent a stand or patch of a natural community, or a cluster of stands or patches of a natural community. Because they are defined on the basis of biological information, EOs may cross jurisdictional boundaries. An Element Occurrence record is a data management tool that has both spatial and tabular components including a mappable feature and its supporting database. EOs are typically represented by bounded, mapped areas of land and/or water or, at small scales, the centroid point of this area. EO records are most commonly created for current or historically known occurrences of natural communities or native species of conservation interest. They may also be created, in some cases, for extirpated occurrences. 2014 Data</SPAN></P></DIV></DIV></DIV>

Description: When a species is proposed for listing as endangered or threatened under the Endangered Species Act, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service must consider whether there are areas of habitat believed to be essential the species’ conservation. Those areas may be proposed for designation as “critical habitat.” Critical habitat is a term defined and used in the Act. It is a specific geographic area(s) that contains features essential for the conservation of a threatened or endangered species and that may require special management and protection. Critical habitat may include an area that is not currently occupied by the species but that will be needed for its recovery. An area is designated as “critical habitat” after the Service publishes a proposed Federal regulation in the Federal Register and receives and considers public comments on the proposal. The final boundaries of the critical habitat are also published in the Federal Register.

Description: This raster map was developed using a method described in Davis et al. (2011, pgs. 40 and 41). This method evaluated dispersal habitat at the NWFP-scale using a spatial extent derived from Forsman et al. (2002). A 15.5-mi radius roving circular analysis window was used to quantify the percentage of dispersal cover type across all land ownerships for the year 2012. The "value" attribute in this raster represents the percentage dispersal cover type within that area. The class attribute for "dispersal capable" landscape was based on a threshold of ≥40 percent dispersal cover type within this circle. The analysis in Davis et al. (2011) showed that this threshold ccontained 90 percent of documented NSO movements from Forsman et al. (2002). See Davis et al. (2016) for more details.References:Davis, R.J.; Dugger, K.M.; Mohoric, S.; Evers, L.; Aney, W.C. 2011.

Description: This raster map is a mosaic product of six different species distribution model [averaged] outputs produced by machine learning methods implemented in software Maxent (Philips and Dudík 2008). Model outputs were reclassified into four habitat classes as follows (see Davis et al. (2016) pages 7-11 for more details):1 = Unsuitable—Represents the lowest nesting/roosting suitability class, and northern spotted owls (NSOs) will normally avoid using it for nesting and roosting. 2 = Marginal—Represents a condition approaching what NSOs will nest and roost in. Occasionally, these habitat characteristics are associated with nesting and roosting NSOs; however, this could be due to occurrence of legacy habitat features such as large trees, extreme rarity of suitable nesting/roosting habitat, or perhaps interspecific competition with barred owls. 3 = Suitable—Represents the “average” environmental condition associated with the NSO training data. This habitat class represents stand structure and species composition conditions where the probability of NSO presence is higher than expected by random chance and up to average conditions associated with nesting and roosting. 4 = Highly suitable—Represents the most suitable, or “above average,” stand structure and species composition conditions used by nesting and roosting territorial NSO pairs.References:Phillips, S.; Dudík, M. 2008.

Description: The Northern Spotted Owl Recovery Team (USFWS 1992) divided the range of the spotted owl into 12 provinces. Given definitions and background information, the physiographic provinces meet the criteria for use as recovery units.
Copyright Text: 1990 Interagency Scientific Committee subdivided the range of the spotted owl into "smaller areas for practical and analytical purposes" and used the physiographic provinces as a basis for their analysis (Thomas etal. 1990)
Description: The intent of this data is to depict a location that best represents the most recent territory center. United States Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) and Washington Department of Natural Resources (WADNR) are the primary regulatory agencies managing impacts to spotted owls. These agencies have adopted a management circle approach for assessing suitable habitat for spotted owls. From the site center location, a radius of 9504 feet (1.8 miles) or 14256 feet (2.7 miles) is used to evaluate the amount of remaining habitat. The smaller radius is used for owl sites east of the I-5 corridor, the larger radius is used west of I-5. The different radii reflect differences in home range sizes used by owls as determined by radio-telemerty.

Description: This layer shows Nesting, Roosting, and Foraging (NRF) and Dispersal Management Areas designated for Northern Spotted Owl conservation under the HCP in 1997 and later updated for the land transactions of DNR-managed lands. The habitat management areas are strategically chosen to contribute to demographic support, maintenance of species distribution, and facilitation of dispersal. There are no designated habitat management areas in the Olympic Experimental State Forest (OESF) Planning Unit. The conservation strategy for Northern Spotted Owl in this planning unit relies on an unzoned approach - managing each of the 11 Landscape Planning Units to maintain and restore threshold proportions of potential spotted owl habitat. Data obtained February 2013.

Description: The Species Occurrence (SO) records include information on the location, status, characteristics, numbers, condition, and distribution of Plant Species of Concern using established Natural Heritage Methodology developed by NatureServe and The Natural Heritage Network. A Species Occurrence (SO) is an area of land and/or water in which a species is, or was, present. An SO should have practical conservation value for the species as evidenced by potential continued (or historical) presence and/or regular recurrence at a given location. SO records are most commonly created for current or historically known occurrences of native species of conservation interest. They may also be created, in some cases, for extirpated occurrences. Plant Species Occurrences are based on Observations from the Montana Natural Heritage program's Botany Observation Database. In many cases, an SO will represent several Observations, or visits, to a given location.

Description: This data set represents the extent, approximate location and type of wetlands and deepwater habitats in the United States and its Territories. These data delineate the areal extent of wetlands and surface waters as defined by Cowardin et al. (1979). The National Wetlands Inventory - Version 2, Surface Waters and Wetlands Inventory was derived by retaining the wetland and deepwater polygons that compose the NWI digital wetlands spatial data layer and reintroducing any linear wetland or surface water features that were orphaned from the original NWI hard copy maps by converting them to narrow polygonal features. Additionally, the data are supplemented with hydrography data, buffered to become polygonal features, as a secondary source for any single-line stream features not mapped by the NWI and to complete segmented connections. Wetland mapping conducted in WA, OR, CA, NV and ID after 2012 and most other projects mapped after 2015 were mapped to include all surface water features and are not derived data. The linear hydrography dataset used to derive Version 2 was the U.S. Geological Survey's National Hydrography Dataset (NHD). Specific information on the NHD version used to derive Version 2 and where Version 2 was mapped can be found in the 'comments' field of the Wetlands_Project_Metadata feature class. Certain wetland habitats are excluded from the National mapping program because of the limitations of aerial imagery as the primary data source used to detect wetlands. These habitats include seagrasses or submerged aquatic vegetation that are found in the intertidal and subtidal zones of estuaries and near shore coastal waters. Some deepwater reef communities (coral or tuberficid worm reefs) have also been excluded from the inventory. These habitats, because of their depth, go undetected by aerial imagery. By policy, the Service also excludes certain types of "farmed wetlands" as may be defined by the Food Security Act or that do not coincide with the Cowardin et al. definition. Contact the Service's Regional Wetland Coordinator for additional information on what types of farmed wetlands are included on wetland maps. This dataset should be used in conjunction with the Wetlands_Project_Metadata layer, which contains project specific wetlands mapping procedures and information on dates, scales and emulsion of imagery used to map the wetlands within specific project boundaries.
