ABFS - Open water non turbid water frequency

This dataset depicts the extent and frequency of open water (vs flooded land) that is also turbid in the Atchafalaya Basin Floodway System (ABFS). The analysis used 28 Landsat images (1984-2008) classified into categories of wet (vs dry), open water (vs flooded land), and non-turbid (vs turbid). Each pixel value represents the number times each pixel was classified as open water and non-turbid in that stack of 28 images. Methodologies for this classification are available in Allen et al. (2008) and Allen (2016). 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.

Emergent Marsh Wetland Classification for MAV and WGCPO

FOR non-AGOL ACCOUNT HOLDERS, DOWNLOAD THIS GEOSPATIAL DATA HERE: https://gis-fws.opendata.arcgis.com/search?tags=lmvjv This product is intended as a necessary foundation for secretive marsh bird (e.g., King Rail) and wading bird conservation planning, but also will be useful for landscape-scale planning for other emergent wetland dependent wildlife (e.g., waterfowl, shorebirds, some songbirds).Without reasonably accurate GIS data layers, it is difficult to generate the desired species-habitat models for waterbirds in the LMVJV. The target habitat for this project was Palustrine Emergent Wetland, as defined by a modified Cowardin et al (1979) definition with minimal woody vegetation and open water: Erect, rooted, herbaceous hydrophytes, with <10% woody vegetation cover and <10% open water.The final classification resulted in 729,884 acres of emergent wetland across the geography of the MAV and WGCPO. Data available for download includes only emergent wetland patches greater than or equal to 25 acres. Michael Mitchell with Ducks Unlimited Southern Regional Office led the development of this effort, in coordination and collaboration with Lower Mississippi Valley Joint Venture staff.
At-risk Species Story Locations, Northeast

This dataset represents point locations for each story about at-risk species work in the Northeast region, last updated June 2024. This layer was created for use in the At-risk Species StoryMap. Point locations are approximate areas where either at-risk species work was done or the location of the organization doing the work. Each point is associated with a story written by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service about work that has been done for at-risk species conservation. The data are color coded by the species type and a link to the full story is included in the pop-ups. The layer, and associated map and StoryMap were developed by the Science Applications program of the Fish and Wildlife Service.
Bald Eagle Nests - Maine

This map depicts Bald Eagle nesting sites, based on nest surveys conducted in 2022 in the state of Maine. This map depicts intact Bald Eagle nests in Maine with a 330' and 660' buffer zone established around each site that correspond with protection guidelines in the USFWS National Bald Eagle Management Guidelines. These locations were identified by an aerial survey during the nesting season and were last updated in 2023. There may be new nest locations in your area since the last survey. Thus further surveys are recommended for proposed projects. You must "zoom in" to the nest locations for the actual nest sites to appear.

FWS R1 FA Columbia River Fisheries Program Office Pacific Lamprey RMUs

Pacific Lamprey distribution has been divided into Regional Management Units (RMUs) for the purpose of implementing conservation actions. This division facilitates a finer level of resolution for description of populations, distribution, and their habitats. It also provides a more optimal structure for collaboration on conservation and restoration activities. The Pacific Lamprey Conservation Initiative (PLCI) is a collaboration of Native American tribes, federal, state, municipal and local agencies, and non-governmental organizations working to achieve long-term persistence of Pacific Lamprey, their habitats, and support their traditional tribal use throughout their historical range spanning the West Coast of North America. The intent of the partnership is to achieve this goal, where ecologically and economically feasible, by maintaining viable populations and habitats in areas where Pacific Lamprey exist currently, restoring where they are at risk of extirpation or are extirpated, and doing so in a manner that addresses the importance of lamprey to tribal peoples. PLCI envisions a future where threats to Pacific Lamprey and their habitats are reduced, and the historic geographic range and ecological role of Pacific Lamprey are restored to the greatest extent possible.

Delaware Watershed Conservation Fund 2024

In 2018, the National Fish and Wildlife Foundation launched the Delaware Watershed Conservation Fund in partnership with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. The fund represents the first step in implementing a strategy developed by partners with guidance from the Service to focus conservation in four key areas: clean water, habitat, recreation, and flow management. This map displays projects that have been awarded funding to date to help conserve and connect lands and waterways that support native fish, wildlife, and plants, and contribute to the vitality of the communities in the watershed. This dataset represents 45 projects that will use more than $17 million available through the fund to move the needle in areas that are critical to the long-term health of the watershed. Included in this total is $4.5 million in Bipartisan Infrastructure Law funds to support innovative projects that use nature-based infrastructure to restore the watershed. In 2024, we prioritized funding projects that support high-performing science and innovation concepts, build capacity among grantees and partners, and implement nature-based to improve fish and wildlife habitat and connect people with nature in the Delaware River watershed.
