R8 FAC Transect Locations_WFL1

C. shasta (Ceratonova shasta) is a parasite that can adversely affect salmonids and in some instances maybe fatal. This parasite completes its life cycle by infecting polychaete worms (Manayunkia speciosa) in their myxospore stage; then is released as a actinospore which infects salmonids. Steelhead (Oncorhynchus mykiss), Chinook (Oncorhynchus tshawytscha) and Coho (Oncorhynchus kisutch) are species of concern regarding C. shasta infection in the Klamath River. U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service Fish and Aquatic Conservation program's Arcata office in coordination with Oregon State University's John L. Fryer Aquatic Animal Health Laboratory annually collects information on abundance of polychaete worms and infection rates of C. shasta for three reaches on the Klamath River from below the Shasta River confluence to the Scott River confluence. These are all of the monitoring transects.

Jollyville Plateau salamander subsurface critical habitat

The polygons provided in this data layer represent subsurface designated critical habitat areas based on our best assessment at the time of areas that are within the geographical range of the Jollyville Plateau Salamander and are considered to contain features essential to the conservation of this species. The extent to which the subterranean populations of this species exists below ground away from outlets of the spring system is unknown. Because the hydrology of central Texas is very complex and information on the hydrology of specific spring sites is largely unknown, we will continue to seek information to increase our understanding of spring hydrology and salamander underground distribution to inform conservation efforts for these species. At the time of this final critical habitat rule, the best scientific evidence available suggests that a population of these salamanders can extend at least 984 ft (300 m) from the spring opening through underground conduits or voids between rocks. For more information on Jollyville Plateau salamanders, see [https://www.fws.gov/southwest/es/AustinTexas/ESA_Sp_Salamanders.html].

Kenai Peninsula Landcover 2002

Kenai Peninsula landcover classification using 4 summer 2002 Landsat7 ETM+ satellite images, USGS digital elevation model (DEM), and 4,074 ground locations collected from various sources. The DEM grid size was 30m x 60m resampled to 30m x 30m and this is the minimum mapping unit for the classification. Erdas Imagine was used to process images and eCognition was used for the classification. eCognition is an object oriented classifier that partitions data layers into homogeneous patches, or objects. Ground locations associated with land cover classes were used to assign classes to corresponding objects in eCognition and, based upon their similarity to other objects (nearest neighbor), the classes were projected across the landscape, producing a map with 26 landcover classes.

FWS_R5_FR_LGLFWCO_AIS_ErieCanal_Fish_Surveillance_Public

Juvenile and adult fish surveys are a component of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Services (USFWS) Lower Great Lakes Fish and Wildlife Conservation Office (LGLFWCO) Aquatic Invasive Species (AIS) New York State Canal System (Erie Canal) surveillance program. Juvenile and adult fish surveys of the Erie Canal began in 1998 with the goal of detecting novel AIS fish species that could possibly be using the canal system to move between the Great Lakes and Hudson River drainages. Surveys occurred annually from 1998 - present, excluding 2020 due to COVID-19 restrictions which prevented sampling for that year. Sampling focuses on sections of the NYS Canal System from Tonawanda, NY to Waterford, NY. Juvenile and adult fish are collected using boat-based electrofishing transects. These transects have a standardized duration of 500 seconds. For the most part, each general sampling location along the Erie Canal has a few legacy transects which electrofishing occurs. These surveys occur biannually, typically targeting early and late summer conditions. Electrofishing parameters are analyzed and designed to capture the maximum species richness at locations with the assumption that capturing an abundance of species, including singletons and doubletons, could lead to detecting rare novel AIS species if present. All fish collected are counted and identified to species in the field using taxonomic keys. If an identification cannot be made in the field, the specimen or some of its tissue is preserved using 95% ethanol (EtOH) and identifications are made in the laboratory either taxonomically or genetically (recent survey years; Northeast Fishery Center). A subset of individuals from each species are measured (total length; mm) in the field. Any significant AIS detections are reported to partners following an internal communications protocol. The information within this dataset is geospatial in nature and documents juvenile and adult fish sampling events. Both abiotic and biotic data is collected for each individual sampling event. It is possible that over time, the tools and instruments used to collect information have changed or been modified. Also, although infrequent, some fish identifications within this data set may be inaccurate and without photographs or preservation of the individual to confirm identification, those records will remain within this data set unless otherwise detected and removed.
FWS_R5_FR_LGLFWCO_Ruffe_Surveillance_Public

The U.S Fish and Wildlife Services (USFWS) Lower Great Lakes Fish and Wildlife Conservation Office (LGLFWCO) Aquatic Invasive Species (AIS) program conducts Eurasian Ruffe (Gymnocephalus cernua) bottom trawl surveys annually. Dedicated Ruffe surveillance occurs across harbors and ports of the Great Lakes with the intent of detecting Ruffe range expansions. The LGLFWCO began conducting Ruffe surveys in 1994 and continue this effort to present day, excluding 2020 due to COVID-19 restrictions which prevented sampling for that year. LGLFWCO Ruffe sampling focuses on harbors and ports of the lower Great Lakes (Erie and Ontario) and has included the following locations: Toledo (Ohio), Sandusky (Ohio), Cleveland (Ohio), Ashtabula (Ohio), Conneaut (Ohio), Erie (Pennsylvania), Buffalo (New York), and Rochester (New York). All LGLFWCO Ruffe sampling is conducted using bottom trawls (4.9 m headrope) and intends to sample the benthic fish community. Sampling locations are visited biannually (spring and fall) and trawls occur at historical trawling transects denoted for each port or harbor. Although each location is sampled biannually, there is some variability in the seasonality of surveys - this can be made apparent in the water temperatures collected during sampling events. Although the primary objective of these surveys is to search for Ruffe, many native and non-native (i.e. Round Goby) species are collected. Similar to our Early Detection and Monitoring (EDM) program, all fish collected during the trawls are counted and identified to species in the field using taxonomic keys. If an identification cannot be made in the field, the specimen or some of its tissue is preserved using 95% ethanol (EtOH) and identifications are made in the laboratory either taxonomically or genetically (recent survey years; Northeast Fishery Center). A subset of individuals from each species are measured (total length; mm) in the field. Any significant AIS detections are reported to partners following an internal communications protocol. The information within this dataset is geospatial in nature and documents Ruffe trawling sampling events. Both abiotic and biotic data is collected for each individual trawling event. It is possible that over time, variations in the trawling protocol (duration, speed, warp length, etc.) have been modified which could influence the effectiveness of the trawl. Also, although infrequent, some fish identifications within this data set may be inaccurate and without photographs or preservation of the individual to confirm identification, those records will remain within this data set unless otherwise detected and removed.
Major Rivers in South Fork Shenandoah Watershed

Layer was created as subset of National Hydrography Dataset (NHD) to show North River, Middle River, Christians Creek, South River, South Fork Shenandoah River, Shenandoah River (within the South Fork Shenandoah River watershed). More information about the NHD below. The NHD is a feature-based database that interconnects and uniquely identifies the stream segments or reaches that make up the nation's surface water drainage system. NHD data was originally developed at 1:100,000-scale and exists at that scale for the whole country. This high-resolution NHD, generally developed at 1:24,000/1:12,000 scale, adds detail to the original 1:100,000-scale NHD. (Data for Alaska, Puerto Rico and the Virgin Islands was developed at high-resolution, not 1:100,000 scale.) Local resolution NHD is being developed where partners and data exist. The NHD contains reach codes for networked features, flow direction, names, and centerline representations for areal water bodies. Reaches are also defined on waterbodies and the approximate shorelines of the Great Lakes, the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans and the Gulf of Mexico. The NHD also incorporates the National Spatial Data Infrastructure framework criteria established by the Federal Geographic Data Committee.
