This tool allows users to view aquatic barriers (dams, road-stream crossings) by the relative gain in ecological value if they were removed. Users start with a consensus map of anadromous fish priorities, which was developed based on stakeholder input as part of the North Atlantic Aquatic Connectivity Collaborative (NAACC). Beyond the consensus results, interested users can create their own scenarios by filtering input barriers to limit the analysis to a given state or watershed, changing the weights of metrics according to their importance to the analysis objectives (e.g.

Across the Northeast, biodiversity thrives in the places generations before us had the foresight to conserve. Yet shifts in climate are changing the ground rules. As land protection professionals, how can we be sure that our work today will still be relevant in 50 to 100 years — and beyond?

As part of a suite of aquatic habitat assessments and tools designed to support conservation efforts in the Northeast region, the environmental consulting firm Downstream Strategies developed predictive models for estuarine habitat in Narragansett Bay and Long Island Sound, using winter flounder as the focal species to pilot the approach. This study describes the development of a flexible modeling process that can help scientists better understand the distribution, status, threats, and relative abundance of resources in dynamic aquatic habitats.

Northeast Region Marsh Migration is one of a suite of products from the Nature’s Network project. Based on sea level rise (SLR) analysis by NOAA, this dataset depicts potential marsh migration zones at various sea level rise scenarios from 0-6’. Identification of suitable uplands adjacent to tidal wetlands is based on topography, habitat type, land use, and development, and can be used for facilitating marsh migration through land protection and/or management.

Relatively little is known about the distribution, abundance and spatio-temporal variability of marine birds in their habitats of the Eastern coast of the U.S. A number of surveys have been conducted over the last 10-15 years, but analyzing these data in a unifed framework is difficult due to the use of different sampling methods, spatial and temporal scales, as well as lack of sampling design. Thus, we incorporate a multi-scale approach to develop models for the space-time distribution and abundance of marine birds to identify potential high-use areas in need of further study.

The goal of this project is to provide a broader ecological understanding of the ways in which the breaches and U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) breach-fill projects affect piping plover populations, their red fox predators and their invertebrate prey communities. Virginia Tech (VT) compared the dynamics of bird use and invertebrate densities in an open breach area, two filled breach areas, two restoration areas, overwash areas, and other areas.
