Purpose: These data were developed for Pacific States Marine Fisheries Commission in cooperation with the National Marine Fisheries Service Northwest Region and the Pacific Fishery Management Council in support of an Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) to consider the designation and conservation of Essential Fish Habitat (EFH) for Pacific Coast Groundfish. These data were consolidated and integrated in a GIS format to support spatially explicit groundfish habitat modelling and impacts assessment on a coastwide scale.

Native_Data_Set_Environment: Microsoft Windows 2000 Version 5.1 (Build 2600) Service Pack 1; ESRI ArcCatalog 8.3.0.800 Data_Quality_Information: Attribute_Accuracy: Attribute_Accuracy_Report: All depth zone polygons were queried to ensure that the difference between the maximum and minimum depth values was exactly 10 meters. Depth values were visually assessed by comparing to source contour data and shaded according to depth ranges. Several polygons found to have erroneous values were corrected. Logical_Consistency_Report: Within a single source data set, bathymetry data were created from various input sources and variable sounding densities. Difference in depth values between two data sources are quite dramatic, causing extreme discontinuities where the data sets were merged. Completeness_Report: Data are comprehensive for the spatial extent. Positional_Accuracy: Horizontal_Positional_Accuracy: Horizontal_Positional_Accuracy_Report: Horizontal accuracy was not assessed, so the positional accuracy is unknown. Vertical_Positional_Accuracy: Vertical_Positional_Accuracy_Report: Vertical accuracy was not assessed, so the vertical accuracy is unknown.

Process_Step: Process_Description: (1) Created 10-meter contour lines from Washington bathymetry grid. (2) Projected these contour lines to West Coast Albers projection. (3) Due to the large size of the source contour data set and limitations of ArcInfo software, in order to further process the source contour data, we had to subset the contour lines into six smaller coverages by depth. (Could not subset geographically because data were too large for ArcInfo topological functions, such as CLIP). Each depth subset had one overlapping contour line from the adjacent subset(s). (5) Each depth subset was clipped and merged with a box used to create an outer boundary for the depth zone polygons. (6) A series of AML programs were used to assign the depth values of the adjacent contour lines to the minimum and maximum depth attributes of each polygon. If the polygon had only one adjacent contour line, the adjacent/surrounding polygon was used to determine whether the inner polygon was a high or low point in the relief and the maximum or minimum depth zone value was assigned accordingly. (6) The depth subset coverages were merged to create complete depth polygon coverages for the study area. (7) A few polygons remained without correct minimum and maximum depth zone values. These values were assigned using Washington bathymetry grid values and the ArcInfo LATTICESPOT function. (8) Generated 10-meter contours from DBDB grid for southwestern-most habitat area off California, and created polygons from these contours. Appended the polygons for this area to WDFW depth polygons. (8) Checked that all polygons had maximum and minimum depth zone values that were exactly 10 meters apart. Several polygons were corrected manually in ArcEdit.
