Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta Socioecological Monitoring

This dataset covers observations of human activities and traces
collected during monitoring runs to and on Ecorestore project sites.
The dataset provides snapshots of activity at the point and time of
monitoring, which occurred during daylight hours on weekdays.
Locations are approximate as many observations were recorded by reach
(between launches and destinations). The goal of the monitoring
project was to assemble a composite and comparative picture of human
use and activities in the Sacramento-San Joaquin, based on the
following typologies: Waterways, Tracts (reclaimed; Farmed,
Wildlife-friendly farmed, Subsidence reversal, Managed marsh/duck club
(Suisun Marsh, Yolo Bypass), Other), Flooded tracts (Franks Tract, Big
Break), Restoration (Tidal wetlands, Floodplain/levee
setback/breaching). This dataset was created as part of the experimental prototyping of a
socioecological monitoring protocol. This protocol was developed in
collaboration with the CDFW fish restoration program to enable the
collection of human use and activity data in and around Ecorestore
project sites. The human use data was intended to inform understanding
of how restoration affected human uses and activities. The idea was to
collect data before, during, and after restoration, which would have
enabled a modified Before-After-Control-Impact (BACI) test. Not enough
data was collected to effectively conduct this test. Geographic coordinates correspond with an approximate location of
monitoring sites and rivers reaches within which observations were
recorded.
