Custom Data Request ID/Name: SARP_DRT-1119_01_2024


Organization/Individual Requesting Data: Southeast Aquatic Resource Partnership (SARP) is requesting tabular data for groups of species within HUC12 watersheds for states in the west, northeast, and midwest.  

 

SARP is a regional collaboration of natural resource and science agencies, conservation organizations, and private interests developed to strengthen the management and conservation of aquatic resources in the southeastern United States. SARP is a joint party committee created by the SEAFWA Directors to complete the mission of conserving aquatic habitats across political boundaries (more under SEAFWA http://www.seafwa.org/committees/southeast_aquatic_resources_partnership/). 

 

Purpose: SARP has an Aquatic Connectivity Program and they are planning to use the data to guide inventories and the prioritization of dam and road related barriers for removal, based on ecological metrics. In addition, SARP will use our data to provide the number of threatened and endangered species, number of state listed species, and number of species of greatest conservation need within a HUC12 in their SARP tool. Visit the tool here: National Aquatic Barrier Inventory & Prioritization Tool (aquaticbarriers.org). Species names will not be visible in the tool. 

 

Scope of Data: HUC 12 summaries of aquatic species (TE, SGCN) for mussels, fishes, crayfishes, reptiles, and amphibians. Data will be provided as excel tables with the attributes listed below for the following states: AK, AZ, CA, CO*, CT, DE, ID*, IL, IN, IA*, KS*, ME, MD, MI, MN, MT, NE*, NV, NH, NJ, NM*, NY, ND*, NN*, OH, OR*, PA, SD*, UT*, VT, WA, WI, WY*. 

SARP requested that we use the HUC12_Albers83 boundary layer.  

 

*Indicates states that SARP requested data from last year. The popularity of the SARP tool has brought in support for expanding the tool beyond the southeast, thus the expanded scope of this data request. 

 

Data Sensitivity: We are not delivering spatial data to SARP (only tabular data listed above), they are just reporting the number of species by HUC 12 on their tool (no species names). We don’t think there are any data sensitivity issues.
