This polygon shapefile depicts a stream gap analysis done by landscape unit to determine the length of Priority 1 and 2 streams in each landscape unit of the nine county San Francisco Bay Region, California, as well as overall length of the National Hydrography Dataset streams in each landscape unit. The Conservation Lands Network performed this same analysis using watersheds as well. This dataset was developed/compiled for use in the San Francisco Bay Area Upland Habitat Goals Project, a Project used to identify a Conservation Lands Network (CLN) for biodiversity preservation to inform conservation investments and lasting cooperative conservation partnerships. The Conservation Lands Network GIS Database is the primary output of the Project. The data depicts the spatially explicit CLN that is recommended for the nine county San Francisco Bay Area Region, California. This layer is presented in the WGS84 coordinate system for web display purposes. Downloadable data are provided in native coordinate system or projection.
