  6. Title: Hopkins Marine Life Refuge, Pacific Grove, California, 1931-1984

    Contributors:

    Summary: This polygon shapefile contains the original boundary of the Hopkins Marine Life Refuge (HMLR) as defined in Pacific Grove city ordinance No. 284 in 1931. This legislation defined the boundaries of the refuge and stated that collecting marine invertebrates or plants within the area was unlawful if performed by any person other than an affiliate or licensee of Stanford University or the University of California. The essential features of this important legislation were retained when it was superceded by sections 10657 and 10901 of the California Fish and Game Code nearly 30 years later. HMLR received additional protection in 1974 when the California State Water Resources Control Board designated it as an Area of Special Biological Significance. This designation ensures that the coastal water remains free of chemical and thermal pollution. In 1984 legislative changes were made in the California Fish and Game Code sections pertaining to HMLR (sections 10502, 10502.5, 10657, 10657.5, and 10901). The result of this legislation is that 1) a Director of the HMLR has been appointed to issue permits for scientific collecting within the refuge; 2) taking fish, marine invertebrates and plants without such a permit is prohibited; and 3) the boundaries on two sides of the refuge were extended to coincide with the Pacific Grove Marine Gardens Fish Refuge. The accuracy of these data is subject to interpretation of boundary definitation at time of creation. This layer is part of a collection of data relating to Hopkins Marine Station located near Monterey Bay, California. These data are intended for researchers, students, policy makers, and the general public for reference and mapping purposes, and may be used for basic applications such as viewing, querying, and map output production. Hopkins Marine Station. (2004). Hopkins Marine Life Refuge, Pacific Grove, California, 1931-1984. Stanford Digital Repository. Available at: http://purl.stanford.edu/xf457bp9996. city ordinance No. 284 states "The Hopkins Marine Life Refuge embraces the land and ocean water from the highest tide line situated between the northerly extension of the west side of 3rd street, to the northerly extension of the west side of Eardley Avenue, all within the limits of Pacific Grove, designated as District No. 16, and extends out into the bay to a distance of 1,000 feet from the high tide land. The shore lands makes a deep outward curve into the bay between the E. and W. limits of this refuge. Situated on the land within the curve are the Hopkins Marine Laboratories, owned and controlled by Stanford University.

  9. Title: Hewatt Transect, Hopkins Marine Life Refuge, Pacific Grove, California, 2004

    Contributors:

    Summary: This line shapefile represents Hewatt's Transect, located in the Hopkins Marine Life Refuge, Pacific Grove, California. In 1931, a graduate student at Hopkins Marine Station (HMS), Willis Hewatt, took an inventory of invertebrates living along a strip of intertidal rocks 108 yards long and a yard wide. This transect represents the original survey area. These data were provided by Carolyn Sotka, HMS. A transect is line across a habitat or part of a habitat. It can be as simple as a string or rope placed in a line on the ground. The number of organisms of each species can be observed and recorded at regular intervals along the transect. These data are intended for researchers, students, policy makers, and the general public for reference and mapping purposes, and may be used for basic applications such as viewing, querying, and map output production.
