NBWA Stewardship Plan Projects Database Update on Progress To Date, Next Phase of Work Deanne DiPietro, Sonoma Ecology Center
Data Standardization • Participated in CalEDLN, development of standardized project description • Project data from Stewardship Plan converted into CalEDLN standard • Also standardized: • SF Bay Joint Venture Project Database (291) • Natural Resource Project Inventory (5,605) • North Coast IRWMP Projects (121) • SEC, Marin Audubon, Urban Creeks Cncl (60)
Data Standardization • NBWA Project Objectives • Cultural education • Dry weather nuisance flows • Erosion, sedimention, and refuse reduction • Flood hazard assessment • Flood plain protection • Groundwater best management practices • Habitat restoration • Impaired water bodies • Interpretive features • Monitoring • Potable water supply • Public education • Receiving waters protection • Recreational facilities • Recreational use • Recycled water • Riparian protection • Stream geomorphic restoration • Stream restoration • Putting info into the same fields as everyone else (left a lot of blanks) • Syncing up keywords with those of other catalogs so they can be searched together • Including geographic data in the records so they can be searched by area
KRIS Resource Catalog • East Marin/Northbay KRIS: a large collection of charts, maps, tabular data, photos, and documents • Metadata standardized and will soon be posted, then will be searchable with all the other data
Data Networking • NBWA Project Database now in the CERES Catalog with NRPI and others • May all be harvested and analyzed together • Networked catalogs are refreshed by data stewards
The Northbay Commons is born • Cure for the stand-alone database • Now what would you like your data to do? • Maps • Graphs, stats • Downloads • News-feeds
NBWA Projects in CERES • CA Resources Agency’s system • Searchable with other catalogs across the state • By keyword • By region • By organization
Catalog Training and Updates • Information Management and Sharing workshops held in August • Reps from 16 orgs trained • Funded by USGS • Sonoma Land Trust • US Fish and Wildlife Service • Sonoma County Agricultural Preservation and Open Space District • Marin County • Sonoma County Water Agency • North Bay Watershed Association • Sonoma County Water Agency • Laguna de Santa Rosa • Bay Area Open Space Council • San Francisco Bay Conservation and Development Commission • Audubon Canyon Ranch • Bodega Marine Lab (UC Davis) • Laguna de Santa Rosa • Circuit Rider Productions • Sonoma State University • California Dept. of Forestry & Fire Protection
Outreach & Data Holdings Review • Database application for review and editing Combining all project and resource data to review by organization
Outreach & Data Holdings Review • Next Phase: October-February • Objectives: • Update and augment the data • Promote ownership and future updates • Challenges: • Need to track down the right people, hope they can spend the time • Capture data that will support analysis desired by NBWA
Benefits to Everyone • Data is put to work for a real purpose, so it gets refined for that purpose • Data becomes a “living” resource instead of another stale duplicate • Northbay Commons and CERES are tested, refined, and pushed forward • Open public access, will lead to further development of analysis tools
