      Abstract: 
        This raster data layer represents sediment plumes originating from 
        stream mouths and coastal pour points. The Integrated Valuation of 
        Ecosystem Services and Tradeoffs (InVEST) model for sediment retention 
        was modified for Hawaii, parameterized, and run for each of the Main 
        Hawaiian Islands to determine sediment export from subwatershed 
        hydrologic units (Falinski, 2016). Results from this model were 
        aggregated into larger drainage areas that flow to single coastal pour 
        points. From these points sediment was dispersed offshore using the 
        Kernel Density tool in ArcGIS with a 1.5-km search radius. The 
        resulting raster depicts simplistic sediment plumes with units in tons 
        of sediment per year per hectare.
        
        The InVEST model predicts the average annual amount of sediment 
        (tons/yr) retained in and exported from each map pixel as a function 
        of many landscape variables. Data inputs to InVEST included: 1) USGS 
        10-m Digital Elevation Model (DEM); 2) NOAA Coastal Change Analysis 
        Program (C-CAP) land use/land cover data; 3) R factor (old USGS maps 
        and interpolation); 4) K factor (USDA Natural Resources Conservation 
        Service (NRCS) Soil Survey Geographic database (SSURGO)); 5) 
        University of Hawaii at Manoa (UH) rainfall atlas; 6) ArcHydro-derived 
        subwatersheds such that flow lines approximately match the State of 
        Hawaii streams layer; and 7) derived products from the above and more. 
        See Falinski (2016) for detailed methodology.
        
        Coastal pour points were created by intersecting streams and coastline 
        features from the National Hydrography Dataset (NHD), resulting in 
        points where streams flow to the shoreline. The NHD was used rather 
        than flow lines generated from the DEM because there are many 
        instances in Hawaii where streams flow into man-made ditch systems and 
        never reach the coast or simply dry up and go underground before 
        reaching the coast.
        
        To determine the amount of sediment load at the coastline, resulting 
        coastal points were given a unique drainage identifier. Next, the 
        stream segment features were buffered by 1 m and dissolved so that 
        connecting stream networks became single features. These polygon 
        stream features were then assigned the drainage ID from the coastal 
        points using a spatial join and subsequently used to assign that 
        drainage ID to the subwatershed polygons. Finally, subwatersheds were 
        dissolved by drainage ID and sediment export from each subwatershed 
        was summed up to yield the total sediment export for each larger 
        drainage basin, which was then joined back to the corresponding 
        coastal drainage points. Each step in the process required quality 
        control to ensure that: no pour points are left out, subwatersheds are 
        not erroneously connected to the wrong drainage or left out, each 
        drainage has only 1 pour point, and drainages do not erroneously span 
        a ridgeline that should divide basins.
      Purpose: 
        This layer was developed as part of a geospatial database of key 
        anthropogenic pressures to coastal waters of the Main Hawaiian Islands 
        for the Ocean Tipping Points (OTP) project 
        (http://oceantippingpoints.org). Ocean tipping points occur when 
        shifts in human use or environmental conditions result in large, and 
        sometimes abrupt, impacts to marine ecosystems. The ability to predict 
        and understand ocean tipping points can enhance ecosystem management, 
        including critical coral reef management and policies to protect 
        ecosystem services produced by coral reefs. The goal of the Ocean 
        Tipping Points Hawaii case study was to gather, process, and map 
        spatial information on environmental and human-based drivers of coral 
        reef ecosystem conditions.

      Abstract: 
        This raster data layer represents sediment plumes originating from 
        stream mouths and coastal pour points. The Integrated Valuation of 
        Ecosystem Services and Tradeoffs (InVEST) model for sediment retention 
        was modified for Hawaii, parameterized, and run for each of the Main 
        Hawaiian Islands to determine sediment export from subwatershed 
        hydrologic units (Falinski, 2016). Results from this model were 
        aggregated into larger drainage areas that flow to single coastal pour 
        points. From these points sediment was dispersed offshore using the 
        Kernel Density tool in ArcGIS with a 1.5-km search radius. The 
        resulting raster depicts simplistic sediment plumes with units in tons 
        of sediment per year per hectare.
        
        The InVEST model predicts the average annual amount of sediment 
        (tons/yr) retained in and exported from each map pixel as a function 
        of many landscape variables. Data inputs to InVEST included: 1) USGS 
        10-m Digital Elevation Model (DEM); 2) NOAA Coastal Change Analysis 
        Program (C-CAP) land use/land cover data; 3) R factor (old USGS maps 
        and interpolation); 4) K factor (USDA Natural Resources Conservation 
        Service (NRCS) Soil Survey Geographic database (SSURGO)); 5) 
        University of Hawaii at Manoa (UH) rainfall atlas; 6) ArcHydro-derived 
        subwatersheds such that flow lines approximately match the State of 
        Hawaii streams layer; and 7) derived products from the above and more. 
        See Falinski (2016) for detailed methodology.
        
        Coastal pour points were created by intersecting streams and coastline 
        features from the National Hydrography Dataset (NHD), resulting in 
        points where streams flow to the shoreline. The NHD was used rather 
        than flow lines generated from the DEM because there are many 
        instances in Hawaii where streams flow into man-made ditch systems and 
        never reach the coast or simply dry up and go underground before 
        reaching the coast.
        
        To determine the amount of sediment load at the coastline, resulting 
        coastal points were given a unique drainage identifier. Next, the 
        stream segment features were buffered by 1 m and dissolved so that 
        connecting stream networks became single features. These polygon 
        stream features were then assigned the drainage ID from the coastal 
        points using a spatial join and subsequently used to assign that 
        drainage ID to the subwatershed polygons. Finally, subwatersheds were 
        dissolved by drainage ID and sediment export from each subwatershed 
        was summed up to yield the total sediment export for each larger 
        drainage basin, which was then joined back to the corresponding 
        coastal drainage points. Each step in the process required quality 
        control to ensure that: no pour points are left out, subwatersheds are 
        not erroneously connected to the wrong drainage or left out, each 
        drainage has only 1 pour point, and drainages do not erroneously span 
        a ridgeline that should divide basins.

        10-m Digital Elevation Model (DEM); 2) NOAA Coastal Change Analysis 
        Program (C-CAP) land use/land cover data; 3) R factor (old USGS maps 
        and interpolation); 4) K factor (USDA Natural Resources Conservation 
        Service (NRCS) Soil Survey Geographic database (SSURGO)); 5) 
        University of Hawaii at Manoa (UH) rainfall atlas; 6) ArcHydro-derived 
        subwatersheds such that flow lines approximately match the State of 
        Hawaii streams layer; and 7) derived products from the above and more. 
        See Falinski (2016) for detailed methodology.
        
        Coastal pour points were created by intersecting streams and coastline 
        features from the National Hydrography Dataset (NHD), resulting in 
        points where streams flow to the shoreline. The NHD was used rather 
        than flow lines generated from the DEM because there are many 
        instances in Hawaii where streams flow into man-made ditch systems and 
        never reach the coast or simply dry up and go underground before 
        reaching the coast.
        
        To determine the amount of sediment load at the coastline, resulting 
        coastal points were given a unique drainage identifier. Next, the 
        stream segment features were buffered by 1 m and dissolved so that 
        connecting stream networks became single features. These polygon 
        stream features were then assigned the drainage ID from the coastal 
        points using a spatial join and subsequently used to assign that 
        drainage ID to the subwatershed polygons. Finally, subwatersheds were 
        dissolved by drainage ID and sediment export from each subwatershed 
        was summed up to yield the total sediment export for each larger 
        drainage basin, which was then joined back to the corresponding 
        coastal drainage points. Each step in the process required quality 
        control to ensure that: no pour points are left out, subwatersheds are 
        not erroneously connected to the wrong drainage or left out, each 
        drainage has only 1 pour point, and drainages do not erroneously span 
        a ridgeline that should divide basins.

      Abstract: 
        This raster data layer represents sediment plumes originating from 
        stream mouths and coastal pour points. The Integrated Valuation of 
        Ecosystem Services and Tradeoffs (InVEST) model for sediment retention 
        was modified for Hawaii, parameterized, and run for each of the Main 
        Hawaiian Islands to determine sediment export from subwatershed 
        hydrologic units (Falinski, 2016). Results from this model were 
        aggregated into larger drainage areas that flow to single coastal pour 
        points. From these points sediment was dispersed offshore using the 
        Kernel Density tool in ArcGIS with a 1.5-km search radius. The 
        resulting raster depicts simplistic sediment plumes with units in tons 
        of sediment per year per hectare.
        
        The InVEST model predicts the average annual amount of sediment 
        (tons/yr) retained in and exported from each map pixel as a function 
        of many landscape variables. Data inputs to InVEST included: 1) USGS 
        10-m Digital Elevation Model (DEM); 2) NOAA Coastal Change Analysis 
        Program (C-CAP) land use/land cover data; 3) R factor (old USGS maps 
        and interpolation); 4) K factor (USDA Natural Resources Conservation 
        Service (NRCS) Soil Survey Geographic database (SSURGO)); 5) 
        University of Hawaii at Manoa (UH) rainfall atlas; 6) ArcHydro-derived 
        subwatersheds such that flow lines approximately match the State of 
        Hawaii streams layer; and 7) derived products from the above and more. 
        See Falinski (2016) for detailed methodology.
        
        Coastal pour points were created by intersecting streams and coastline 
        features from the National Hydrography Dataset (NHD), resulting in 
        points where streams flow to the shoreline. The NHD was used rather 
        than flow lines generated from the DEM because there are many 
        instances in Hawaii where streams flow into man-made ditch systems and 
        never reach the coast or simply dry up and go underground before 
        reaching the coast.
        
        To determine the amount of sediment load at the coastline, resulting 
        coastal points were given a unique drainage identifier. Next, the 
        stream segment features were buffered by 1 m and dissolved so that 
        connecting stream networks became single features. These polygon 
        stream features were then assigned the drainage ID from the coastal 
        points using a spatial join and subsequently used to assign that 
        drainage ID to the subwatershed polygons. Finally, subwatersheds were 
        dissolved by drainage ID and sediment export from each subwatershed 
        was summed up to yield the total sediment export for each larger 
        drainage basin, which was then joined back to the corresponding 
        coastal drainage points. Each step in the process required quality 
        control to ensure that: no pour points are left out, subwatersheds are 
        not erroneously connected to the wrong drainage or left out, each 
        drainage has only 1 pour point, and drainages do not erroneously span 
        a ridgeline that should divide basins.

                Use of WMS-C is similar to traditional WMS but with the 
                addition of the "tiled=true" parameter, which triggers 
                GeoServer to pull map tiles from GeoWebCache if they have been 
                previously generated. This can dramatically improve 
                performance, especially for larger datasets. Supported map
