Multidimensional index to BLR river stage

This table shows the relationship between the 41 arbitrary "bands" in the multidimensional inundation extent dataset and increasing Atchafalaya River stages at Butte La Rose. The analysis used 28 Landsat images (1984-2008) classified into categories of wet (vs dry). Each pixel value was evaluated using a probit analysis (in R) to determine the probability that each pixel would be classified as wet or dry at a series of 1/2 foot increments from 1.6 to 21.6 feet based on the [Butte La Rose gaging station] for a total of 41 distinct river stages. Methodologies for this classification are available in Allen et al. (2008) and Allen (2016). The dataset presented here is a multidimensional dataset with 41 bands corresponding to 41 river levels based on the Butte La Rose gaging station. Currently the bands reflect increasing river stages in 1/2 foot increments from 1.6 to 21.6 feet. Enable the multidimensional tool on the right side of the webmap to interact with the data. The Atchafalaya Basin is a resource that must be managed on a system-wide basis to ensure this invaluable national resource is protected and restored. It is recognized that better tools must be developed for managing the Basin and that data evaluation is necessary to ensure sound decision-making. The natural resource inventory and assessment system (NRIAS) that was approved and funded in the FY 2010 Louisiana Department of Natural Resources Atchafalaya Basin Program Annual Plan and served as the primary tool for decision making in the Basin. The system provided a means for scientists to access relevant project data for the Basin and to request and fund data acquisition, monitoring, and data analysis to be used in project planning. This will be critical in providing information necessary for the development and approval of specific projects to be included for construction in future Annual Plans, projects that meet the needs of Louisiana citizens and protect our our natural resources. This and related datasets were created to demonstrate the patterns of inundation, turbid water and floating aquatic vegetation in the Atchafalaya Basin Floodway System at various river levels of the Atchafalaya River.

ARB Master Plan LDWF areas of concern_InlandFish_10_29_2024

Draft LDWF Inland Fisheries areas of concern for the Atchafalaya Master Plan working group effort. We identified locations where we had ecosystem function/service concerns as well as noting preliminary species that might be particularly important to the location We are working on WPU specific suggestions for objectives, metrics and targets (from our Inland perspective) as a next step for this effort. On that note, we have some concerns over the inclusion of White Crappie HSI as indicator and would like to understand why that species was selected and if we have any ability to discuss including Black Crappie vs. White Crappie? Or what wiggle room is available at this point on freshwater fish species. As we work on the WPU objectives, we aim to identify species specific objectives, metrics and targets more clearly so this would be a helpful discussion for our team to understand why certain species were chosen
ABFS combined assessment solutions (2010)

This layer was created in 2010 by Paul XX to define selected restoration opportunities within the Atchafalaya Basin Floodway System (ABFS). The suggested restoration features were created using lidar, assessment units and turbidity flow patterns.

CED_HydroFramework

CED Wild Trout hydro layers to support the CED wild trout module. Hosted feature layer includes 2 layers that support database organization, mapping, summarizations and reporting. Current coverage includes participating Management Units. The spatially explicit, web-based Conservation Efforts Database is capable of (1) allowing multiple-users to enter data from different locations, (2) uploading and storing documents, (3) linking conservation actions to one or more threats (one-to-many relationships), (4) reporting functions that would allow summaries of the conservation actions at multiple scales (e.g., management zones, populations, or priority areas for conservation), and (5) accounting for actions at multiple scales from small easements to statewide planning efforts. In recognition of the need to conserve healthy wild trout habitat to provide for the long-term conservation of its inhabitants, the US Fish and Wildlife Service (Service) and United States Geological Survey (USGS) developed the Conservation Efforts Database version 2.0.0 (CED). The purpose of the CED is to efficiently capture the unprecedented level of conservation plans and actions being implemented throughout wild trout habitat and designed to capture actions. Understanding the distribution and type of conservation actions happening across the landscape will allow visualization and quantification of the extent to which threats are being addressed.

Ecostates raster

This is the updated layer published in December 2025. The dataset categorizes the shrub-steppe vegetation into seven ecological states. The model was trained exclusively in shrub–steppe communities and is therefore optimized for identifying ecostates within these vegetation types; other vegetation types on Monument, outside the shrub–steppe domain, may receive forced classifications and should not be interpreted as reliable indicators of ecological condition without additional, vegetation‑specific training data. The dataset was produced by Open Range Consulting for Central WA National Wildlife Refuge Complex, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, under contracts 140FS124P0258 and 140FS125P0052. The map is intended to support resource management decisions within the defined model domain.

FWS Midwest and Northeast Regions FAC Bighead and Silver Carp eDNA Data Feature Layer View

The Invasive Carp environmental DNA (eDNA) sample data was collected and processed by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) and is used for the early detection and monitoring of Invasive carp. eDNA detection summary data along with static maps are shared with the public. For further information on data collection and processing please refer to the Quality Assurance Project Plan eDNA Monitoring of Bighead and Silver Carps. Additional information on the Invasive carp eDNA program for the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service along with all result eDNA data can be found on our [ServCat data catalog record] and [Invasive carp eDNA Dashboard.] A positive eDNA detection result means there was Invasive carp eDNA in the water body, which can be from live or dead fish, but it could have also been transported via boat, bird, or water current. A positive eDNA detection does not necessarily mean there were Invasive carp present at the time samples were taken.
