Title
Stream Protection Priorities for WRAPS [Minnesota]
Description
Restoring impaired waters is expensive, difficult, and may require a long time frame for success. Protecting streams and rivers that are currently healthy is far more cost-effective than restoring lost health and function. This data provides a prioritization for protecting stream reaches that are currently supporting the aquatic life designated use as determined by fish and/or invertebrate community assessments. , A prioritization of healthy stream reaches for development and implementation of protection strategies. The highest priority is given to those stream reaches that are at greatest risk of becoming impaired while also recognizing that stream quality varies amongst the stream categories in the tiered aquatic life use or TALU framework. Therefore, top priorities may vary between nearly impaired and highest quality depending on local input and/or region of the state., New data will be added to the dataset on an annual basis, as new aquatic life assessments are completed.
