Military areas ineligible for designation (qualifying Integrated Natural Resource Management Plan) were not clipped out of the data. Excluded military areas (due to national security impacts) and Indian lands were not clipped out of the data. These data represent critical habitat designated (September 2, 2005, 70 FR 52630) under the Endangered Species Act for the Puget Sound Chinook salmon ESU. These nearshore (polygon) data should be used in conjunction with river/stream (line) data in the SalmonChinook_PugetSoundESU_20050902_line feature class.

Original elevation measurements were in decimeters. We reclassified the elevation measurements to meters. Finlayson et al. 2000 2) Clip the WA State Saltwater Areas shapefile to the extent of the Puget Sound as described in the abstract above. WADNR 2001 3) Clip the Puget Sound DEM to the boundary of the Puget Sound. Finlayson et al. 2000; WADNR 2001 4) Derive the marine portion of the nearshore zone from the DEM. Query the clipped Puget Sound DEM for all values less than or equal to 0 meters and greater than or equal to -30 meters. Convert the results of the query into polygons. Finlayson et al. 2000 5) Edge match the polygons with the Puget Sound shoreline. WADNR 2001 6) Using the NOAA Electronic Navigational Charts (ENCs) to fill in the gap in the DEM. There is a gap of no data in the Puget Sound DEM that lies between the San Juan Islands and Bellingham Bay. We used the NOAA ENCs to estimate the area encompassed by the 30 meter bathymetry line. NOAA 2004 7) Identify units within the Puget Sound. We used watersheds (HUC5s) as our units in the freshwater habitat analysis, and decided that for the nearshore area analysis we would define our units based on groupings of HUC5s. We used WRIA and HUC5 boundaries to identify 19 units within the Puget Sound. Where the WRIAs meet the shoreline of the Puget Sound, we edge matched the WRIA boundaries to the HUC5 boundaries. REO 2002; ECY 2000 8) Divide the nearshore zone into 19 units. Overlay the nearshore zone with the 19 units to create the final data set. ckpug_nchf1.shp (NAD_1927_Albers) geographic transformation, unprojected -> CKPUG_ch_poly.shp (GCS_North_American_1983 wkid 4269). Geometry was edited (features deleted), attributes were not edited, metadata was edited because it was blank (stored separately as html file "metadata_ckpug_nchf1"). Deleted features that were not critical habitat from shapefile CKPUG_ch_poly.shp. Deleted features were those with DESC_ = “Land, not part of nearshore marine area” DESC_ = “Not part of nearshore marine area” Features remaining in shapefile had DESC_ = 'Offshore to a depth of 30 meters' (i.e., only features designated as critical habitat). 2019-07-17T00:00:00 The 2019 version CKPUG_ch_poly.shp (GCS_North_American_1983 wkid 4269) was converted into the standardized feature class SalmonChinook_PugetSoundESU_20050902_poly (GCS_WGS_84 wkid 4326) using the National Critical Habitat Geodatabase processing protocol. During standardization, geometry was not edited. Attributes were edited. Metadata was edited and populated using the final rule and the 2005 html file "metadata_ckpug_nchf1" that was stored separately from the source data in ckpug_nchf1.shp (NAD_1927_Albers).
