Critical Habitat for Steelhead in the Southern California ESU

Apr 17, 2017
Description:
'SC_Steelhead_CH_06_2005' depicts areas designated for Steelhead Critical Habitat as well as habitat type and quality in the Southern California Coast Evolutionary Significant Unit (ESU).These data represent the stream segments identified as Critical Habitat by the National Marine Fisheries Service (NOAA Fisheries) Southwest Regional Office (SWR).The linework for this layer is based on the California Department of Fish and Game (CDFG) and Pacific States Marine Fisheries Commission (PSMFC) 1:100,000 scale stream based routed hydrography.SWR biologists divided the routed hydrography into stream segments using the best available information to represent local Steelhead distribution and habitat. As a result, each segment has its own unique identifier (GIS_Link) and related presence and habitat information.The data set is in shapefile format and can be included as a map layer in a GIS.This data set is an updated, final version of 'SC_Steelhead_Proposed_Critical_Habitat'.
