Description: Ecological regions of interest as identified in the San Francisco Coastal Region Sediment Management Plan.NPS identifies several special management areas within the study area, including a portion of Ocean Beach that is managed as wintering habitat for the western snowy plover; San Francisco lessingia recovery areas near Baker Beach and Fort Funston (NPS, 2002), and; a seasonal bank swallow closure area (NPS, 2010) at Fort Funston. This figure also shows Pinneped haul-out areas describe by NOAA (2007) to include single-event haul-out locations and areas with continual Pinneped use, and citizen-monitored snowy plover wintering areas at Linda Mar Beach (Pacifica Riptide, 2011). The shapefile was compiled from multiple shapefiles from ESA PWA which were submitted to CSMW as part of the San Francisco Littoral Cell Coastal Regional Sediment amanagement Plan (2012).
