Regional boundaries for use by CA Nature to support activities related to Executive Order N-82-20. These include California's 30x30 effort, Climate Smart Land Strategies, and equitable access to open space. This layer is derived from the 4th California Climate Assessment regions, and enhanced using the California County Boundaries dataset (version 19.1) maintained by the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection's Fire Resource Assessment Program, and the 3 Nautical Mile marine boundary for California sourced from the California Department of Fish and Wildlife.

Approximate locations for habitat projects located within the Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta. This project list builds on earlier efforts, including those of DWR, CALFED Ecosystem Restoration Program (ERP), Natural Resources Projects Inventory (NRPI), Wildlife Conservation Board, and other private programs that track restoration projects using GIS. The features consist of acquisitions, planned, and implemented projects that occurred from 1994 through the present. The project boundaries are not surveyed boundaries or derived from legal descriptions, but rather were established using various methods and sources, such as interpretations of rough paper maps provided by project proponents, available institutional knowledge, and interpretations of aerial imagery. Many of the projects are in the planning stages, with some boundaries subject to change. Additionally, some features represent the actual project footprint, while other features represent the entire property boundary.

The Natural Communities Commonly Associated with Groundwater (NCCAG) dataset is a compilation of phreatophytic vegetation, regularly flooded natural wetlands and riverine areas, and springs and seeps extracted from 48 publicly available state and federal agency datasets. Two habitat classes are included in the dataset: wetland features commonly associated with the surface expression of groundwater under natural, unmodified conditions; and vegetation types commonly associated with the sub-surface presence of groundwater (phreatophytes). The NCCAG dataset began as an amalgamation of vegetation and wetland datasets with different scales, resolutions, attribute details, and classifications. A working group comprised of DWR, California Department of Fish and Wildlife (CDFW) and The Nature Conservancy (TNC) further reviewed the vegetation and wetland datasets and conducted a screening process to identify the vegetation and wetland types considered to be commonly associated with groundwater (Klausmeyer et al., 2018). The NCCAG dataset can be used as a starting point to investigate and identify groundwater dependent ecosystems (GDEs) within a groundwater basin. Identifying GDEs requires detailed understanding of the land use, groundwater levels, hydrology, and geology of a location. This comprehensive understanding of geology, hydrology, and biology is not available at the statewide scale. Further investigation and verification of the connection and dependence between groundwater and mapped vegetation and wetlands at a local scale may be needed for water managers in sustainable groundwater management planning.
