NOAA s National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) created GIS (Geographic Information System) maps using the instream monitoring and landscape data compiled for each population. These maps are included as an Electronic Appendix H to the SONCC coho salmon recovery plan on the NMFS website in Adobe Acrobat (PDF) format and are designed to be used as electronic documents, not printed. The maps are not included in the printed version of the plan because they are not useful in printed form. The many layers in the maps can be toggled on/off and users can zoom in to see more detail. There are two PDF maps included for each population. The main set of maps contains the stress and threats data, in addition to base layers such as coho IP and streams, and was completed in May 2010. The second set of maps was completed in December 2009 and includes canopy change over various time periods and tree size. Due to the large number of layers in the maps, full legends could not be included within the individual maps; therefore, a separate legend PDF is provided for each of the two map types. These maps were used to analyze and interpret habitat condition across the landscape. Please refer to Appendix H of the plan for more information about these maps.
