Title:

NAACC Road-Stream Crossing Assessments (Terrestrial Organism Passage) in New Jersey [New Jersey]

Description:

The North Atlantic Aquatic Connectivity (NAACC) is a network of individuals from universities, conservation organizations, and state and federal natural resource and transportation departments focused on improving aquatic and terrestrial connectivity across a thirteen-state region, from Maine to Virginia. NJ is one of the 13 states in the region participating in the North Atlantic Aquatic Connectivity Collaborative (NAACC), the goal of which is to develop additional common protocols and training for assessing road-stream crossings and also houses the field data, collected using existing protocols, in a regional database. Bridge spans, and medium and large culverts with certain features are known to be utilized by many aquatic and terrestrial wildlife species to cross beneath roadways. The NAACC Culvert Assessment Protocol involves collecting a variety of data associated with culverts and bridges, including, but not limited to, structure dimensions, the presence of dry, and physical barriers. This dataset reflects the New Jersey portion of the NAACC database that pertains to terrestrial organism passage assessments. The full database is already available publicly: https://naacc.org/naacc_search_crossing.cfm?sp=1
