These data were collected for multiple purposes. First, they were gathered in support of conducting a condition assessment of fluvial waterbodies throughout the United States in support of the National Fish Habitat Action Plan (NFHAP). Second, these data were intended to be made available to NFHAP Partnerships as well as other users interested in acquiring consistently-organized information available characterizing river systems over larger regions. This work was supported by local, state, and federal partners of NFHAP, including the U.S. Geological Survey.
Time_Period_Information:Range of Dates Times:
Beginning Date: 2000
Ending Date: 2007.
Because the condition assessment was conducted over such a large geographic region, a landscape approach was adopted for assessment which it assumed that anthropogenic disturbances as well as natural characteristics in the watersheds affect a given unit of habitat which in turn would affect fishes. It was necessary to use a landscape approach because landscape data are available for every location in of the United States whereas local measures of habitat or biological indicators of habitat condition are only available at a very small percentage of locations around the country.
These data from the state of Kansas were downloaded from the National Fish Habitat Partnership Data Viewer: http://ecosystems.usgs.gov/fishhabitat/
The NFHAP map viewer allows for the visualization of the primary results reported in “Through a Fish’s Eye: The Status of Fish Habitats in the United States 2010” at various spatial scales. An understanding of the procedures and methodology used to generate these results is a prerequisite to effectively using the data presented in this viewer.

<DIV STYLE="text-align:Left;"><DIV><P><SPAN>The following statements apply to all Web pages that are part of the National Fish Habitat Partnership (NFHP) Map and Data Viewer. Data Liability Disclaimer This map viewer is based on the data from a series of fish habitat assessments, conducted within the framework of the National Fish Habitat Action Plan. Primary results of these assessments were reported in “Through a Fish’s Eye: The Status of Fish Habitats in the United States 2010” (National Fish Habitat Board, 2010. Through a Fish’s Eye: The Status of Fish Habitats in the United States 2010. Association of Fish and Wildlife Agencies, Washington D.C. 68 pp.). Users must recognize that the analysis and interpretation of data requires background knowledge and expertise in biology or environmental science, as well as understanding of the procedures and methodology used. Please consult the Science and Data section of the NFHP Web site to learn more about the assessments, the report, or to contact the Science and Data Committee. The viewer incorporated other datasets, not produced by the NFHP Science and Data Committee, which have been included for informational purposes.
