NCCOS Assessment: Pilot Framework for Fish Habitat Assessments Across Tidal and Non-Tidal Waters in the Patuxent River Basin, 1999-05-22 to 2022-10-06 (NCEI Accession 0295082)

Published by NOAA National Centers for Environmental Information | National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, Department of Commerce | Catalog Last Checked: August 27, 2026 at 09:29 PM | Dataset Last Updated: July 19, 2024 at 12:00 AM

This dataset includes the data that was used for the tidal portion of the joint pilot fish habitat assessment. Additional data for non-tidal waters is being archived by USGS in ScienceBase. This data collection contains geospatial data of environmental layers used in the model analysis as well as the outputs of an ensemble fish habitat prediction model. It includes layer inputs at 3 different spatial scales (10x10m, 100x100m, and 1000x1000m) for the following environmental predictive variables: substrate bottom, distance to hardened shoreline, distance to submerged aquatic vegetation beds, distance to protective areas, dissolved oxygen, salinity, water quality, and benthic index of biotic integrity all in the form of TIF files (.tiff). There were 16 total inputs per resolution scale all cropped to a tidal waterbody boundary for the Patuxent watershed. This boundary is also included in the data collection and is represented as a single feature polygon shapefile (.shp). Lastly, there is a csv file containing presence sites for white perch sampled from a variety of different fish survey datasets. These were collected and joined to represent fish presence within the tidal portion of the Patuxent watershed and includes associated spatial and temporal data. For more information see (Nisonson et al., 2024).
