  1. Title: MassGIS 2003 Massachusetts Designated Shellfish Growing Areas (Arcs) (October 2000)

    Contributors:

    Summary: The Designated Shellfish Growing Area (DSGA) datalayer was compiled by the Department of Fisheries, Wildlife and Environmental Law Enforcement's (DFWELE) Division of Marine Fisheries (DMF). Three hundred and three growing areas in Massachusetts have been designated by DMF's Shellfish Project. The data are stored in two feature layers: Designated Shellfish Growing Areas (Arcs) and Designated Shellfish Growing Areas (Polygons). A designated shellfish growing area is an area of potential shellfish habitat, and all three hundred and three DSGA's make up the territorial waters (tidal zone out to the territorial line) of the Commonwealth. Growing areas are managed with respect to shellfish harvest for direct human consumption, and comprise at least one or more classification areas. The classification areas are the management units, and range from being approved to prohibited (six different classification types in all) with respect to shellfish harvest. For example, one growing area may be composed of four classification areas, all of which are managed separately (have a classification type the same or different from the rest in the growing area). This coverage reflects classification areas as of July 1, 2000. The dataset was originally issued in October 2000.

  4. Title: MassGIS 2000 Massachusetts Lobster Harvest Zone Statistics, 1997 (Polygons)

    Contributors:

    Summary: This datalayer shows statistics for lobsters harvested (by pounds) from 25 distinct statistical reporting areas covering a large portion of the Gulf of Maine and south, including the territorial waters of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. Fourteen of the areas compose territorial waters, while the other 11 match those of the National Marine Fisheries Service areas for offshore bodies of water bordering the Commonwealth's territorial areas, including George's Bank. These areas are used mainly on maps for fishermen to report their landings (including lobster harvest), as well as for producing plots in various Massachusetts Division of Marine Fisheries (DMF) annual publications showing landings per area. The data distributed by MassGIS includes statistics for lobster harvest zones only; 1997 is the only year data is currently available.

  8. Title: Recreational Fishing Effort, 2000-2009

    Contributors:

    Summary: This product was created by the Nature Conservancy based on data provided by the National Marine Fisheries Service. The number of trips information is based on vessel trip report records that have been aggregated by ten minute square and have been screened for confidentiality. The records to produce this dataset are for federally permitted party boats and charter boats only. Vessel trip reports are submitted to the National Marine Fisheries Service by federally permitted fishing vessels for all fishing trips. The screening process protects the identity of each individual permitted commercial fishing vessel. Approximately 70% to 80% of all recorded of trips between 2000 and 2009 are represented in this dataset at the ten-minute square resolution. The purpose of this data product to show the relative concentration of recreational fishing effort for each ten-minute square by federally permitted party and charter fishing vessels.

  14. Title: MassGIS 2000 Anadromous Fish Runs for Cape Cod (1997)

    Contributors:

    Summary: The Department of Fisheries, Wildlife and Environmental Law Enforcement (DFWELE) GIS Program working in conjunction with biologists from the MA Division of Marine Fisheries and the MA Division of Fisheries and Wildlife compiled and automated a point coverage of anadromous fish data. The data include all known coastal anadromous fish runs spawning habitat and runs for three major inland rivers - the Nashua, the Concord and the Shawsheen. Note, this data layer should not be considered definitive in determining the presence or absence of fish runs, spawning habitat, barriers or fishways. It is the DFWELE GIS Program's best current representation of these features. Neither should this layer or its derived maps be used for making site specific regulatory decisions. Rather, its appropriate use is for education and regional planning. This is a transition coverage. When MASSGIS completes its 'hydro centerline' project, producing a complete hydro network for the Commonwealth, inherently linear features such as fish runs and many of the spawning habitat features will be represented as such.

  15. Title: Lakes, Reservoirs and Ponds (Polygons): California, 2012

    Contributors:

    Summary: This polygon shapefile is an update of California lake, reservoir, and pond layers as assembled by the California Department of Fish and Game (DFG). It includes many small and unnamed waterbodies in the High Sierra and California Cascades, some of which are not depicted on United States Geological Survey 7.5 arc-minute/1:24,000-scale topographic maps. Most data were captured at 1:24,000-scale or better. Waterbodies are represented as single polygons (with islands), with Latitude/Longitude coordinates of waterbody centroids and a unique numeric identifier for each. Waterbody polygons represent shorelines generally at full or near-full levels. A previous version of this dataset did not contain islands. The dataset was created for two purposes: First, to attempt to correct many inaccuracies in current GIS datasets for California waterbodies, especially regarding NAMES. Second, to provide a unique numeric ID system for the California Department of Fish and Wildlife of all digitized waterbodies in California in order to assist with fisheries and biological programs management and public fishing programs, including biological surveys, fish planting, and public fishing guides. California Department of Fish and Wildlife, 2012. Rancho Cordova CA: North Central Region (Region 2); Sacramento CA: Biogeographic Data Branch. This dataset represents a combination of 1:24,000-scale or better GIS datasets considered the best currently available. The initial sources come from DFG's fisheries programs, some of which included many Sierra Nevada lakes and ponds not represented on existing USGS maps and/or not known to exist in digitized format elsewhere. Unique ID's in the field DFGLAKEID reflect the LAKE_ID in FPB_Lakes shapefile in about 22,400 cases. Many errors (attribute and spatial) existed in all the contributing datasets, and many (but not all) have been remedied here. Lake name errors were addressed to the greatest extent, spatial representation errors to a lesser extent. USGS National Hydrography Dataset (NHD) High Resolution 'waterbody' polygons were used to replace some existing polygons. It was not used exclusively however, due in part to existing errors within the NHD datasets to date, the lack of completeness for CA and the lack of time on the editors end to incorporate NHD in cases where NHD polygon representation is better than what exists here. It is the intent that NHD polygons will be incorporated more as they get updated. This layer is presented in the WGS84 coordinate system for web display purposes.

    Contributors:

    Summary: This point shapefile is an update of California lake, reservoir, and pond layers as assembled by the California Department of Fish and Game (DFG). It includes many small and unnamed waterbodies in the High Sierra and California Cascades, some of which are not depicted on United States Geological Survey 7.5 arc-minute/1:24,000-scale topographic maps. Most data were captured at 1:24,000-scale or better. Waterbodies are represented as centroid points. The dataset was created for two purposes: First, to attempt to correct many inaccuracies in current GIS datasets for California waterbodies, especially regarding NAMES. Second, to provide a unique numeric ID system for the California Department of Fish and Wildlife of all digitized waterbodies in California in order to assist with fisheries and biological programs management and public fishing programs, including biological surveys, fish planting, and public fishing guides. This coverage provides an accompanying center point GIS layer for the lakes layer that was assembled by the California Department of Fish and Game. This point layer is useful for representing lake locations at small (zoomed-out) scales, labeling, etc. California Department of Fish and Game: North Central Region (Region 2) and the Biogeographic Data Branch. (2012). Lake, Reserviors and Ponds (Points): California, 2012. Available at: http://purl.stanford.edu/pt381mp4669. Points derived from fields containing coordinate values within the lakes dataset. Those values were derived from initially gaining 'centroids' using ArcGIS command tools, then editing the points as needed to place in a more central location within the lake polygons.

  17. Title: Ocean Depths: California Coast, 2000

    Contributors:

    Summary: This point shapefile depicts ocean depths gridded on a 5-minute latitude/longitude interval. This coverage was created from data extracted from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) National Geophysical Data Center (NGDC) "TerrainBase" dataset. The TerrainBase global digital terrain model contains a complete matrix of land elevation and ocean depth values for the entire world. NGDC/World Data Center-A developed the model using the best public domain data available at the time of publication. The intended use of this coverage is as a companion dataset to the Department of Fish and Wildlife "Trawl Logbook Catch Grid," developed by the Pacific Fishery Management Council, the States of Washington, Oregon and California, and the National Marine Fisheries Service (see coverage "caltrawl" in Resource Details Supplemental Information). The coarse resolution of the estimated depths facilitates rapid display on microcomputer and comparative analysis of trawl block data. These data are not suitable for inshore habitat analysis nor for navigation purposes. California Department of Fish and Wildlife. (2000). Ocean Depths: California Coast, 2000. Marine Region GIS Lab.

This coverage was created from data extracted from the NOAA National Geophysical Data Center (NGDC) "TerrainBase" dataset. The TerrainBase global digital terrain model contains a complete matrix of land elevation and ocean depth values for the entire world. NGDC/WDC-A developed the model using the best public domain data available at the time of publication. The intended use of calbath5 is as a companion dataset to the Department of Fish and Game "Trawl logbook catch grid", developed by the Pacific Fishery Management Council, the States of Washington, Oregon, and California, and the National Marine Fisheries Service (see coverage "caltrawl"). The coarse resolution of the estimated depths facilitates rapid display on microcomputer and comparative analysis of trawl block data. This coverage is not suitable for inshore habitat analysis nor for navigation. PROCESSING STEPS 1. Internet accessed NOAA/NGDC site: http://www.ngdc.noaa.gov/mgg/global/seltopo.html 2. Entered min/max decimal degree lat/long values for coverage caltrawl, plus a 0.1 degree buffer. 3. Selected output options: TerrainBase, ascii,lon/lat/datavalue, comma-delimited, Least Sig.Byte 1st. 4. In ARCVIEW, added comma-delimited table and created a new event theme. 5. Converted event theme to shapefile. 6. Extracted points within extent of coverage "caltrawl", plus manually extended buffer. Re-converted to a new shapefile. 7. Edited attributes, added meters, feet, fathom units. Constants: 1 meter = 3.2808 feet; 1 fathom = 6 feet. 8. Removed grid anomolies where offshore values had non-negative data values, i.e. where ocean points had elevations greater than zero. 9. Ran spatial join, adding item BLOCK10_ID from coverage "caltrawl". 10.In ARC/INFO ran shapearc to convert shapefile to a coverage. 11.Reprojected decimal degree coverage to Teale albers, using default datum.

Due to misalignment of grids, instances of BLOCK10-ID in this coverage are only appoximate. DATA QUALITY ASSESSMENT: A term to describe the type of height values represented in the model (such as mean, mode, point, etc.) cannot be assigned to the TerrainBase model since it is comprised of a variety of source data. The type of terrain height represented by these source data sets varies from one model to the next. For example, the FNOC model has modal heights, while the USA model uses point heights, and the Europe model has mean heights. Consequently, it is not possible to assign a single term to represent all of the height values given in the TerrainBase model. To satisfy interested users, however, a term that can be used which is common to all of the source data is best estimate of height. That is, the data represent the best estimate of height for each 5-minute cell. Although such a term has minimal scientific value, it does emphasize the fact that the data only represent reasonable estimates of the height of the terrain (NOAA/NGDC 1997).

  18. Title: MassGIS 2003 Massachusetts Hospitals (September 2002)

    Contributors:

    Summary: This point datalayer shows the location of 145 hospitals in Massachusetts. This data was developed by the Massachusetts Department of Environmental Protection's (DEP) GIS Program based on database information provided by the Massachusetts Division of Health Care Finance and Policy (DHCFP) and various Internet sources. Please be aware that the attributes for the points in this layer do not include information on the type of care (e.g. specialty hospitals, acute care hospitals with emergency departments, mental health, rehabilitation, etc.) provided at each facility. Future enhancements to the layer may include such information. Therefore this layer should not be used as the primary source when seeking emergency care.

  20. Title: MassGIS 2003 Massachusetts bicycle trails (January 2003)

    Contributors:

    Summary: This dataset, formerly named 'Rail Trails,' was created by the Massachusetts Department of Environmental Management for the purpose of regional planning and mapping. In 2002 the layer was updated and renamed 'Bicycle Trails'. The linework in this layer represents trails which all permit bicycle travel or corridors with conversion potential; however, bicycles are not the exclusive travel mode permitted on these trails. The manager or owner of the trail should be contacted for detailed information about the permitted uses and rules of conduct that are specific to that trail. Most such corridors use, or connect to, old railway lines. Many of the trails represented in this layer are open to some combination of activities such as walking, jogging, rollerblading, skiing, horse riding, snowmobiling, etc., as well as bicycling.
