CA SWAP 2015 Priorities Implemented in California by CDFW Grant Programs - 2015-2020

Metadata Updated: July 23, 2025

A total of 109 Prop 1, 62 SWG, 63 Traditional ESA Section 6, and 51 Non-Traditional ESA Section 6 projects were analyzed from the years 2015-2018, 2015-2020, 2015-2020, and 2015-2019, respectively, in order to answer the following questions for each project (which resulted in qualitative data):

  1. Is the geographic scale of this project statewide? If so, proceed to question 12; otherwise, proceed to question 2.

  2. For a project not spanning the entire state, would it directly benefit anadromous fishes? If not, proceed to question 4; otherwise, proceed to question 3.

  3. For a project directly benefitting anadromous fishes, enter the salmonid ecoregion/s (see SWAP 2015 Figure 6.4-1) in which the project would be located, as well as the conservation target/s it would address, and the conservation strategy/strategies it would apply to those target/s (may enter more than one; these correspond to SWAP 2015 Table 6.7-1, on pages 6-19 to 6-20). If this is a multibenefit project, proceed to question 4. Otherwise, there are no further questions.
