Title
Midwest Streams [U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service]
Description
DefinitionThis indicator identifies stream condition regarding the risk of habitat degradation within the Midwest Landscape. It prioritizes areas based on urban land use, impervious surface, human population and road density, agriculture, and point source pollution sites. Pixels can take the following values:1 - Highest risk of habitat degradation2345 - Lowest risk of habitat degradationSelectionThis indicator was chosen as a targetable, important feature of the MLI goals that will be used to track conditions over time and prioritize areas for conservation. Indicators were defined through elicitation and prioritization exercises with federal and state participants. Criteria for the indicators includes 1) actionable, 2) measurable, 3) relevant to multiple groups across the region, and/or 4) representative of other social and/or environmental values.Input Data & Mapping StepsThis indicator originates from the National Fish Habitat Partnership (NFHP) Cumulative Habitat Condition Indices scores. To create this layer, MLI partners, members, and staff completed the following mapping steps: projected all input data to NAD83 (2011) UTM Zone 15N, joined the NFHP Habitat Condition data to the NFHP 90m stream buffers using the "comid" field, and converted the 90m stream buffers to a 30m raster using the "lb_hci" field, which represents the local habitat condition index of each stream buffer. The resulting raster contained the values 1-5, with 1 being at the highest risk of habitat degradation while 5 had the lowest risk. Finally, highly altered areas were removed from the layer using our Highly Altered Areas mask.For full mapping details, please refer to theMidwest Conservation Blueprint 2023 Development Process.
