Extending the Northeast Aquatic Habitat Map to Canada by abstract, last updated: Jun 12, 2020 11:32 AM: This project contributed to the development of a comprehensive aquatic habitat map for the entire extent of the North Atlantic Landscape Conservation Cooperative (NALCC) region by extending the Northeast Aquatic Habitat Map to Canada and southern Quebec.

North Atlantic Aquatic Connectivity Collaborative by abstract, last updated: Jun 12, 2020 11:24 AM: Both a network of partners and a source of shared resources, the North Atlantic Aquatic Connectivity Collaborative (NAACC) offers a collaborative framework for taking on the critical task of assessing and upgrading the hundreds of thousands of outdated road-stream crossings across the region that represent barriers to wildlife movement and pose flooding risks to communities. The NAACC offers training in standard protocols for conducting assessments, online tools for prioritizing upgrades based on ecological benefits, and a database of road-stream crossings encompassing the 13 Northeast states.

Northeast Lake and Pond Classification System by abstract, last updated: Jun 12, 2020 11:21 AM: The Northeast region is known for its wealth of lakes and ponds — more than 30,000 bodies of water that store freshwater, sustain a diversity of fish, birds, invertebrates, and aquatic plants, and support sport fisheries and recreational activities — and now there is a common way to classify them. Developed by experts from The Nature Conservancy, ten states, and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, the classification scheme is based upon four key variables that are used to organize aquatic natural communities, and can be mapped consistently across the region and United States.

Restoring Aquatic Connectivity and Increasing Flood Resilience by abstract, last updated: Jun 12, 2020 11:17 AM: This project brings together the major partners involved in road-stream crossings to assess river and stream continuity and set priorities for restoring connectivity, and reducing flood damage to road crossings, within the North Atlantic region.

Revisions to the Northeastern Aquatic Habitat Classification by abstract, last updated: Jun 12, 2020 11:12 AM: This project updated the 2008 Northeastern Aquatic Habitat Classification (NAHCS) prepared by The Nature Conservancy and the Northeast Association of Fish and Wildlife Agencies (NEAFWA). The updates added a tidal component to the classification of streams and rivers and a mapped classification of lakes; the lake classification was revised in 2015.

Vulnerabilities to Climate Change of Northeast Fish and Wildlife Habitats, Phase II by abstract, last updated: Jun 12, 2020 11:02 AM: This project completed three assessments of the vulnerability of terrestrial, aquatic, and coastal habitats (ecosystems) to climate change, including sea level rise. One assessment evaluated 13 terrestrial and wetland habitat types, the second evaluated cold water stream habitats, and the third evaluated coastal habitats. A database of coastal climate change projects and tools was also developed.

Assessing Ecological Integrity of Salt Marshes in the Northeast by abstract, last updated: Jun 12, 2020 10:46 AM: Designing Sustainable Landscapes (DSL) assesses the capability of current and potential future landscapes to provide integral ecosystems and suitable habitat for a suite of representative species, and provides guidance for strategic habitat conservation.
