This data release provides the georeferenced boundaries that delimit each spatial unit of the Great Lakes Regional Aquatic Gap Analysis Project (GLGap) Coastal Hydrospatial Framework at each spatial scale from the local 90m cell to the entire Laurentian Great Lakes system and from the shoreline to the deepest offshore waters. The U.S. Geological Survey and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service collaborated to design a universal framework of spatial areas that encompass all space of the Laurentian Great Lakes proper. Agglomeration of the finest units (90m cells) form coarser, broader scale units. Finer units are nested within the coarser units at six spatial scales, labeled as Local Cells, Aquatic Habitat Areas, Coastal...
This dataset contains all the layers associated with U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) Great Lakes Coastal Wetland Restoration Assessment (GLCWRA) initiative for the Saginaw Bay Restoration Assessment (SBRA) which aims to identify and rank coastal areas with the greatest potential for wetland habitat restoration. Each layer has a unique contribution to the identification of restorable wetlands. The 7 parameters (Parameter 0: Mask, Parameter 1: Hydroperiod, Parameter 2: Wetland Soils, Parameter 3: Flowlines, Parameter 4: Conservation and Recreation Lands, Parameter 5: Impervious Surfaces, and Parameter 6: Land Use) and Index Composite directly correlate to areas that are recommended for restoration. The dikes, degree...

The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) created geospatial datasets of potential culvert locations along with flowlines connected to southwestern Lake Erie as part of the Western Lake Erie Restoration Assessment (WLERA). The Degree Flowlines and Culverts datasets represent the flowline network and culverts in the WLERA study area. Both datasets will be served in the Great Lakes Wetlands Restoration Area mapping application [https://glcwra.wim.usgs.gov/]. The map-based user interface can be used by stakeholders to find potential areas for successful wetlands restoration. Each flowline was assigned a connectivity score describing its level of connectedness to Lake Erie. Low numbers represent fewer disconnections, such as...

The US Geological Survey (USGS) created the Dikes dataset as ancillary layer in the Western Lake Erie Restoration Assessment (WLERA) which covers the southwestern shore of Lake Erie. WLERA is a part of the USGS's Great Lakes Coastal Wetland Restoration Assessment (GLCWRA) initiative where coastal areas around the Great Lakes are identified and ranked for potential wetland restoration. The dikes dataset was created to identify human made and naturally occurring dikes or berms which have the potential to block the flow of water between Lake Erie and wetland habits. These potential dikes were outlined by selecting all the areas within the WLERA study area with a slope greater than 12 degrees (derived from the DEM created...

Each flowline was assigned a connectivity score describing its level of connectedness to the lake outlet. Low numbers represent fewer disconnections, such as culverts or road crossings, between the reach and the water body requiring no flow...

This dataset represenst the location of dikes within the Saginaw Bay Restoration Assessment (SBRA) study area. An ArcGIS model identified dikes as having a difference in elevation and slope above a certain threshold. If the elevation difference was below a certain threshold, the area was not considered a dike. However, if the difference in elevation between two points was significantly high, then the area was marked as a dike. Areas contiguous with each other were considered part of the same dike. Data underwent quality control (QC) procedures in which Subject Matter Experts and those familiar with the study area examined the data output, comparing the proposed dike locations to aerial imagery, flowline data, and...

This dataset is the fourth installment of a yearly connectivity update for forested habitat within the Great Lakes Restoration Initiative's (GLRI) Terrestrial Habitats & Connectivity (TH&C) work group's Pilot Area. The Pilot Area is a region of the northern Great Lakes Basin between Ashland, WI and the Keweenaw Peninsula and is bounded by Lake Superior in the north and the basin boundary in the south, including a 70 km buffer. Each year the TH&C selects project proposals for funding within the pilot area. These proposals involve either restoration, research, or land acquisition aimed at improving or increasing forest connectivity in this area. The intended purpose of each year’s update is to understand the effects...
