Title
GPFHP Aquatic Prioritization Tiled [U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service]
Description
Hydrologic Unit Code 8 Aquatic Protection Scores, Aquatic Prioritization Clipped to USFWS LR6The GPFHP was created to forestall and reverse habitat loss with the philosophy that by working together, sufficient fiscal and human resources can be strategically focused on rivers and streams for conservation. The GPFHP focuses on the conservation of native aquatic species, many of which are of commercial or recreational economic interest, such as sauger, sunfishes, catfishes, buffaloes, and paddlefish. Included in the GPFHP are the Missouri River watershed, the Arkansas River watershed within the State of Kansas, and the Souris and Red River watersheds within the State of North Dakota and western Minnesota. The area encompasses approximately 626,524 square miles, and includes all of North Dakota, South Dakota, Nebraska, and Kansas, and portions of Minnesota, Iowa, Missouri, Montana, Wyoming, and Colorado. The area includes 28 species of fish, mussels, amphibians, and riparian plants that are federally listed or candidates for listing. State Wildlife Action Plans identify almost 90 fish species as being of greatest conservation need, of special concern, or listed. The Great Plains Fish Habitat Partnership was recognized by the Board in October 2009.A higher score indicates a higher opportunity need. Analysis performed by the Great Plains Fish Habitat Partnership and US Fish and Wildlife Service.https://www.fishhabitat.org/the-partnerships/great-plains-fish-habitat-partnership
