What and where are freshwater species in California? © Larry Serpa California Tiger Salamander (Ambystoma californiense) (Solano County ) Photo by Jackson Shedd 1. California Freshwater Database

2003 – CDFW published maps of fish, birds, amphibians, mammals and plants of California. For fish, Sacramento- San Joaquin- Pit rivers are most diverse.

June Released report and public database, 1,728 species included June – July 2013 – Received lots of comments, critiques August 2013 – Formed working group to revise database

Value is determined by cell occupancy, species weights and range sizes of species Evaluates observed or modeled species distributions in a complementarity-based reserve selection approach. Implements a cell-based algorithm, removing the least valuable cell first resulting in a hierarchy of “conservation value” Zonation
