Description: <DIV STYLE="text-align:Left;"><DIV><DIV><P><SPAN>California's Coastal Zone generally extends seaward to the state's outer limit of jurisdiction, including all offshore islands, and inland to approximately 1,000 yards from the mean high tide line (MHTL) of the sea, or in significant coastal estuarine, habitat, and recreational areas to the first major ridgeline paralleling the sea or five miles from the mean high tide line of the sea, whichever is less. In developed urban areas the zone generally extends inland less than 1,000 yards. This data set represents the landward boundary of California's Coastal Zone. Public Resources Code (PRC) Section 30103(a) specifically defines California's Coastal Zone as that land and water area of the State of California from the Oregon border to the border of the Republic of Mexico depicted on maps identified and set forth in Section 17 of that chapter of the Statutes of the 1975-76 Regular Session enacting PRC Division 20 (the Coastal Act of 1976). PRC Section 30103(b) directed the Coastal Commission to prepare and adopt more detailed 1:24,000 scale Coastal Zone Boundary (CZB) maps, which occurred March 1, 1977. These 161 adopted maps provide the official basis for all other representations of the landward CZB. The digital version of the CZB created by developing this shapefile is a conformed copy of the official boundary, and in some locations reflects legislative changes and Coastal Commission minor adjustments adopted from time to time since March 1977.</SPAN></P></DIV></DIV></DIV>

Description: Local Coastal Programs (LCPs) are basic planning tools prepared by local governments and used in partnership with the Coastal Commission to guide development in California's coastal zone. LCPs consist of Land Use Plans and Zoning Ordinances and contain the ground rules for future development and protection of coastal resources in each of California's 61 coastal cities and 15 coastal counties. Following adoption by a city council or county board of supervisors, an LCP is submitted to the Coastal Commission for review and compliance with Coastal Act requirements. As of 2008, approximately 72% of the LCPs have been certified, representing close to 90 percent of the geographic area of the coastal zone [chk/update]. Many of the 75 coastal counties and cities have elected to divide their coastal zone jurisdictions into separate geographic segments, resulting in some 126 separate LCP segments. This shapefile represents the first statewide digital version of the LCP segment boundaries and boundaries of uncertified LCP areas, and also includes Non-LCP areas such as federal, tribal, and military lands.

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.

Description: The Mendocino Pygmy Forest is one of the best-known examples of a rare natural community in California. The unique soil and climatic attributes and the resulting vegetation of the Mendocino coastal terraces described by Jenny et al (1969), Westman (1975), Westman and Whittaker (1975), Sholars (1979), Sholars (1982), Sholars (1984) and others are well- known in the scientific and conservation literature.The mapping and classification process assumed that the unique and biologically significant elements of the pygmy forest ecosystem were definable without a complete inventory of the surrounding regional vegetation and land-use patterns. The boundary of the mapped areas was created using existing geographic information on soils, topography, land use, along with fieldwork from previous efforts. Within that area, an array of vegetation samples were collected and classified representing the full array of vegetation patterns within it. The boundary was refined as part of the mapping process. It was later expanded to include property owned by the Mendocino Coast Park and Recreation District after receiving permission to conduct surveys as part of this project. (Polygons that would not have been mapped for the original project but are within the MCPRD property are marked “MCPRD Additional” in the Notes field.)The map was produced using a classification based on an analysis of surveys taken throughout the range of the oligotrophic areas supporting Pygmy Forest vegetation. This classification has been incorporated into the Manual of California Vegetation Online Database. The map classification is mostly at the Association Level of the NVCS hierarchy (12 types), with some at the Alliance Level (5 types) and Group Level (3 types), and 4 land use and water classes. It was hand-digitized using photointerpretation based on the 2014 NAIP Imagery, with other ancillary data used to help with the identification of vegetation types. The minimum mapping unit was 1 acre for vegetation types, and 0.25 acres for water, developed and agricultural type. The total area mapped was 9782 acres.An accuracy assessment performed on the map. The overall accuracy of each of the 5 most reliably sampled types was between 82 and 92 percent accuracy, meeting minimum accuracy standards.For more information, see the supplemental information below and the report for the map cited in the references. https://nrm.dfg.ca.gov/FileHandler.ashx?DocumentID=161736ReferencesCalifornia Department of Fish and Wildlife, Vegetation Classification and Mapping Program.

Description: The California Protected Areas Database (CPAD) contains data on lands owned in fee by governments, non-profits and some private entities that are protected for open space purposes. Data includes all such areas in California, from small urban parks to large national parks and forests, mostly aligned to assessor parcel boundaries. Data is collected by Holdings (parcels) which are aggregated to Units (commonly named areas within a county) and Super Units (commonly named areas generally).

Description: Essential Fish Habitat are those areas that have been identified and described by species and lifestage. Fish require healthy surroundings to survive and reproduce. Essential fish haitat includes all types of aquatic habitat - wetlands, coral reefs, sea-grasses, rivers - where fish spawn, breed, feed, or growh to maturity. EFH Mapper Data is a combination of three existing data layers: Essential Fish Habitat (EFH), Habitat Areas of Particular Concern (HAPC) and EFH Areas Protected from Fishing (EFHA).
