Juvenile coho salmon seek slow velocity areas as rivers rise during storm events. Studies have shown significant increase in juvenile coho salmon growth and survival when they have access to slow water refuge in off-channel ponds during these storms. In addition, off channel features also provide habitat for several other animals including reptiles, amphibians and numerous bird species. In 2014, Humboldt Redwood Company (HRC) identified an abandoned overflow channel that had the potential to become off channel habitat in Lawrence Creek located within the Van Duzen River watershed and asked the National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) to partner on the project. NMFS conducted the physical surveys, created the design, and a small competitive internal grant from NOAA provided funding for part of the project construction. HRC worked on the permits, donated heavy equipment and operators as well as several large logs with root wads to build the instream structures.

The fish dataset presents results from High Mountain Lakes (HML), SLIP (Sierra Lakes Inventory), and Redwood Sciences Laboratory (RSL) project fishery surveys. Both projects collected data on high elevation waters in the Sierra Nevada and mountains of Northern California using a standard protocol. Surveys of fish, amphibians, habitat, and stream barriers were done at each site between late-May and October. Fish surveys were mainly done using standardized 6 panel monofilament gill nets, set for 8-12 hours. Fish species, length, weight, and sex are recorded for each individual. As many sites were only visited once, the data presented represent a "snapshot" view of the fish population in a particular lake. SLIP surveys were done in the John Muir Wilderness by Roland Knapps crews in 1995-1996. HML surveys were done in Regions 2, 4 and 6 by CA DFW crews between 2001 and 2010. CDFW crews did not survey within National Park boundaries and no SLIP data from National Parks is included here. RSL surveys were conducted between 2001 and 2006, and additional surveys in Northern California ranges were conducted by HML crews in 2008 and 2010. As of May 2010, approximately 85% of the total mapped waters in the High Mountain Lakes range have been surveyed. It should be noted that the High Mountain Lakes expanded in 2007 to include water bodies in cascades frog range. "Baseline" survey types indicate a full survey was done at the site, including amphibian, fish, habitat characteristics, tributary characteristics, and photos. Generally this survey type occurs during the initial visit to a particular site. "Monitoring" surveys are repeat surveys of fish or amphibian populations at a site, and generally do not include habitat or stream barrier data. WHAT EACH RECORD REPRESENTS: This dataset represents field data collected in high elevation Sierra Nevada and Northern California lakes, meadows, streams, and springs. If no fish were observed, each record represents a single fish survey. If

Fish catch, invertebrate catch, and water quality data from the Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta collected by the Fish Restoration Monitoring Program, 2015-2017. The Fish Restoration Program Monitoring Team is tasked with monitoring fish and food web resources in restored tidal wetland sites. These restored sites are located in the Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta and Suisun Marsh pursuant to requirements in the 2008/2009 Biological Opinions for state and federal water project operations. Data on fish and invertebrate abundance on or near these sites was collected as baseline monitoring data and to determine the most efficient methods for monitoring wetlands.

In-stream habitat data include measurements of a variety of physical and aquatic stream attributes that collectively reveal a great deal about stream condition for salmonids and trout. Characterizing and inventorying the physical conditions that define stream habitat for salmonids is an important part of the habitat restoration process. The California Department of Fish and Wildlife (CDFW) collects data on a number of physical attributes of streams and classifies these streams by one of several habitat types. The in-stream habitat data collection process involves two distinct steps; identifying channel type and assigning a habitat type. These in-stream habitat data are used for a variety of purposes including analysis of stream suitability for supporting salmonid populations, as part of larger and more complex watershed assessments, and to establish baseline conditions against which future assessments can measure change. They are a critical part of determining restoration priorities and identifying salmonid refugia. The California Salmonid Stream Habitat Restoration Manual published by the CDFW, describes the process of using in-stream habitat data and other data and information for identifying streams with restoration potential and working through the stream restoration process.The objective of stream inventory reports are to document the current habitat conditions and recommend options for the potential enhancement of salmonid habitat. Recommendations for habitat improvement activities are based upon target habitat values suitable for salmonids in Californias streams.

This dataset includes dissolved oxygen data collected at 5-min intervals over a 24-hour period at three agricultural streams: Maple Creek in NE (2004), Morgan Creek in Delaware (2004) and Stalker Creek in Idaho (2007).

This dataset includes water temperature and dissolved oxygen collected during July 2007 from Stalker Creek in Idaho. Data was collected at 3 minute intervals over several days.

This dataset contains oceanographic and surface meteorological data in netCDF formatted files, which follow the Climate and Forecast metadata convention (CF) and the Attribute Convention for Data Discovery (ACDD). Sanibel-Captiva Conservation Foundation River, Estuary and Coastal Observing Network, collected the data from their in-situ Redfish Pass station in the Coastal Waters of Florida, Gulf of Mexico, and North Atlantic Ocean. Southeast Coastal Ocean Observing Regional Association (SECOORA), which assembles data from Sanibel-Captiva Conservation Foundation River, Estuary and Coastal Observing Network, and other sub-regional coastal and ocean observing systems of the Southeast United States, submitted the data to NCEI as part of the Integrated Ocean Observing System Data Assembly Centers (IOOS DACs) Data Stewardship Program. NCEI updates this dataset when new files are available.
