Description:

This aquatic connectivity portal is a one-stop shop for tools and regional collaboratives focused on aquatic organism passage (“fish passage”) and fragmentation of river and stream ecosystems. It is a starting place for stakeholders, users, and tool developers looking to keep track of the latest initiatives and better identify opportunities for collaboration and action. This portal is maintained by the North Atlantic Aquatic Connectivity Collaborative (NAACC). More coming soon! North Atlantic Aquatic Connectivity Collaborative Geography: 13 North Atlantic states from Maine to West Virginia What is does/Description: The North Atlantic Aquatic Connectivity Collaborative (NAACC) is a network of individuals from agencies and organizations focused on improving aquatic connectivity across a thirteen-state region. The NAACC provides protocols for road-stream crossings (culverts and bridges) to assess and score crossings for fish and wildlife passability, as well as culvert condition and other data useful for evaluating risk of failure. MORE Data from crossing assessments and scores are available on the NAACC online database. Southeast Aquatic Resources Partnership Geography: 14 Southeast States and the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico What is does/Description: The Southeast Aquatic Resources Partnership (SARP) is a regional collaboration of natural resource and science agencies, conservation organizations and private interests developed to strengthen the management and conservation of aquatic resources in the southeastern United States. MORE Nationally, SARP works to implement the goals of the National Fish Habitat Action Plan in some of the United States most ecologically and economically significant watersheds. Regionally, SARP works with partners in 14 states in the Southeast to conduct science-based watershed and habitat assessments that collectively identify regional conservation priorities. SARP works with communities to facilitate locally-driven conservation projects that bring together partners and funding to help meet regional priorities. Geography: Deerfield River Watershed, Massachusetts Vermont What is does/Description: The SCE tool is a data visualization and decision support tool that was developed to assist with locating and prioritizing stream crossings that meet user-defined criteria. MORE SCE conveys information related to aquatic connectivity and ecological aspects of river systems as well as risk of failure of road-stream crossings and associated disruption of emergency services. This tool was designed for state and municipal agencies, local decision-makers, regional planners, conservation organizations, and natural resource managers. It is being piloted in the Deerfield Watershed. Geography: Massachusetts What is does/Description: The RPM Tool displays information that can be used to evaluate the relative ecological benefit of removing any known dam in Massachusetts Geography: 13 North Atlantic states from Maine to West Virginia What is does/Description: Helps identify subwatersheds that may have priority for field survey of crossing assessments. Geography: 13 North Atlantic states from Maine to West Virginia What is does/Description: Explore barriers to aquatic connectivity — dams and road stream crossings, using GIS, MORE and identify likely high priorities for removal or upgrade for different objectives. Run custom analyses to generate user-defined prioritizations and model the removal of up to 10 barriers. Geography: Great Lakes Basin What is does/Description: Web-based GIS platform that integrates with sophisticated optimization tools to help maximize the efficiency of habitat improvement projects for migratory fish in the Great Lakes basin. Geography: New Hampshire What is does/Description: Interactive viewer to explore stream crossing, flood hazards, and aquatic habitat data to identify restoration opportunities in New Hampshire Communities. Geography: Cheasapeake Bay watershed in VA, MD, and PA What is does/Description: Allows users to explore barriers to aquatic connectivity — dams – and identify likely high priorities for removal or improved fish passage for different objectives as well as to run custom analyses. MORE This tool was developed using higher-resolution data than the Northeast tool and benefits from a system that dynamically updates the tool on a weekly basis. Geography: Penobscot River Watershed, Maine What is does/Description: Allows users to explore barriers to aquatic connectivity — dams and road-stream crossings– and identify likely high priorities for removal or improved fish passage for different objectives as well as to run custom analyses. MORE This tool was developed using higher-resolution data than the Northeast tool and includes additional metrics that are specific to the Penobscot River watershed region. Geography: Atlantic Drainages from the Roanoke in VA to Mobile Bay, AL What is does/Description: Allows users to explore barriers to aquatic connectivity — dams – and identify likely high priorities for removal or improved fish passage for different objectives as well as to run custom analyses. MORE Note: This tool uses Flash web technology and is slated for replacement in the near future with a similar tool developed by the Southeast Aquatic Resources Partnership (SARP)
