Frequently-anticipated questions:


What does this data set describe?

Title: CalFish_020409
Abstract:
This shapefile (FRGP_All_020209.shp) represents the locations of all ongoing and completed salmonid restoration projects in California with existing records in the California Habitat Restoration Project Database (CHRPD). The CHRPD was created in 1999 to capture and maintain data about habitat restoration projects in California benefiting anadromous fish. The CHRPD is managed and supported by the Pacific States Marine Fisheries Commission (PSMFC) and California Department of Fish and Game (CDFG), and funded by NOAA Fisheries and CDFG. Project locations are digitized in as much detail as possible based on the contractors' maps. The All_Points_081508_FRGP_CalFish.shp shapefile represents the centerpoint of individual project sites of a completed or ongoing restoration project in the California Habitat Restoration Project Database as of February 2009. Many of the projects have multiple sites.
  1. How should this data set be cited?

    Dataset was created by Katie Murphy by pulling information from CHRPD (California Habitat Restoration Projects Database) and our existing GIS., 02/02/2009, CalFish_020409.

Why was the data set created?

This dataset was created to capture the locations of all salmonid restoration projects in the State of California. The dataset enables geographic analyses of projects, aiding analysis of past trends and planning of future restoration work.


How was the data set created?

  1. From what previous works were the data drawn?

    (source 1 of 1)
    Type_of_Source_Media: paper
    Source_Scale_Denominator: variable

  2. How were the data generated, processed, and modified?

    Date: 02-Feb-2009 (process 1 of 2)
    Shapefiles were originally digitized as instream points, instream lines, non-stream points, non-stream lines, and polygons. The type of shapefile depends on how the project locations were depicted in the project files.

    Data sources used in this process:

    • D:\DataSpecialist\CHRPD_Shapefiles\Calfish\CalFish_Jan2009\FRGP_All_020209.shp

    Date: 04-Feb-2009 (process 2 of 2)

  3. What similar or related data should the user be aware of?


How reliable are the data; what problems remain in the data set?

  1. How well have the observations been checked?

    Project locations are digitized in as much detail as possible based on the contractors' maps. The accuracy of the data depends, on a great extent, on the quality of the contractors' maps. Some projects without a map were digitized based on the written description of the project

  2. How accurate are the geographic locations?

  3. How accurate are the heights or depths?

  4. Where are the gaps in the data? What is missing?

    This shapefile contains point features representing centerpoints of ongoing and completed salmonid restoration projects with records currently in the California Habitat Restoration Project Database (CHRPD). The database will eventually contain all stream restoration projects in California for which data can be found. Features representing projects that have a status of planned, not funded, terminated, or withdrawn are not included in this dataset. Not all projects in the California Habitat Restoration Project Database have locations associated with them.

  5. How consistent are the relationships among the observations, including topology?

    The data were checked to ensure that all features have unique SiteIDs. The data were also checked to ensure that all locations have corresponding records in the California Habitat Restoration Project Database (CHRPD). These tests were performed on 02/02/2009.


How can someone get a copy of the data set?

Are there legal restrictions on access or use of the data?
