The Great Lakes Aquatic Gap Analysis Project Overview Jana Stewart U.S. Geological Survey

Great Lakes Aquatic Gap Project Funding: USGS Biological Resources Division National GAP Analysis Program Co-Principal Investigators: Donna Myers, USGS Great Lakes Coordinator Dora Reader, USGS BRD Great Lakes Science Center Steve Aichele, USGS WRD Michigan District James McKenna, USGS Tunnison Laboratory Jana Stewart, USGS WRD Wisconsin District

What is “GAP”? Program Terrestrial (1988) - Most states in progress Aquatic (1997) – Statewide projects MO and OH 1)to map the species distributions and diversity of fish and other aquatic species and their habitats 2)Identify the gaps in conservation of these species and associated habitats Aquatic Gap Goals

Great Lakes Aquatic Gap Studies Riverine systems Eight states - Great Lakes watershed Focus on fish (other aquatic biota in future) Common methods and approach (MO, OH, MIFR, TNC) Focus of WI project and talks today Coastal Pilot Focus on method development for habitat classification Nearshore coastal systems Pilot areas – Lake Ontario and Erie

Biological coding (IT IS) Organization of databases for all states and areas in the region into a single central Oracle database system. Regional Standardization across States Valley Segment Type (VST) classification National Hydrography data (NHD) – 1:100K

Objectives: Aquatic Gap for Riverine Systems 1) Delineate and map ecologically similar drainage areas. 2) Classify aquatic habitats in streams using regionally consistent methods (VST). 3) Develop aquatic biological databases at the State and regional scale. 4) Map known and predicted occurrence and distribution of fish and other aquatic species for streams. 5) Complete a gap analysis of fish and selected aquatic biota. 6) Serve these data on the Internet and CD ROM. 7) Analyze and interpret results at statewide, lakewide, and basinwide scales.

How does GAP work? Institutional cooperation and partnerships State level projects Identify - stakeholders and level of participation - related projects to coordinate with Develop products with value at the local, State, and Regional level

Stream Segment Classification: Valley Segment Types Valley segments stratify a continuous stream network into distinct hydrogeomorphic patches TemperatureStream SizeFlowGradientGeology Valley Segment Types Individual Variables Unique Valley Segment Types

Aquatic Biological Data needed for Target Biota Location: - stream name, latitude, longitude, hydrologic unit, river mile Sample Information: - date Species Information: - scientific name, common name, species ID code, count

Link Aquatic Biological and GIS Databases

How might the results be used? 1)mapping species distributions 2)identifying data gaps 3)developing biomonitoring networks 4)modeling to predict species distributions 5)developing management strategies 6)developing policy,etc.
