Important Anadromous Fish Habitat, including Salmon, Northeast U.S.
type: Dataset
description: NOTE - This map contains two datasets: "Important Anadromous Fish Habitat, Northeast U.S." and "Atlantic Salmon Rearing Areas, Maine" These dataset are part of a suite of products from the Nature’s Network project (naturesnetwork.org). Nature’s Network is a collaborative effort to identify shared priorities for conservation in the Northeast, considering the value of fish and wildlife species and the natural areas they inhabit. "Important Anadromous Fish Habitat" and “Atlantic Salmon Rearing Areas, Maine” are two input used in developing “Lotic Core Areas, Stratified by Watershed, Northeast U.S.” that is also part of Nature’s Network. Lotic core areas represent intact, well-connected rivers and stream reaches in the Northeast and Mid-Atlantic region that, if protected as part of stream networks and watersheds, will continue to support a broad diversity of aquatic species and the ecosystems on which they depend. The combination of lotic core areas, lentic (lake and pond) core areas, and aquatic buffers constitute the “aquatic core networks” of Nature’s Network. These and other datasets that augment or complement aquatic core networks are available in the Nature’s Network gallery: https://nalcc.databasin.org/galleries/8f4dfe780c444634a45ee4acc930a055. Important Anadromous Fish Habitat: Intended Uses This dataset is primarily intended to be used in conjunction with the Nature’s Network product “Lotic Core Areas, Stratified by Watershed, Northeast U.S.” to better understand the importance of core areas to anadromous fish. It also can be used on its own, or in conjunction with the Atlantic salmon dataset, to identify priority watersheds for anadromous fish. Description and Derivation This dataset is a combination of the following two products: 1) Habitat for Atlantic sturgeon, short-nosed sturgeon, and sea-run (salter) brook trout. Atlantic and shortnose sturgeon are federally listed endangered species. Sea-run or salter brook trout, which undertakes seasonal migrations f…
