Reservoir Fish Habitat Partnership

The RFHP promotes the protection, restoration, and enhancement of habitat for fish and other aquatic species and communities in reservoir systems. The RFHP is committed to integrating watershed conservation, in-reservoir management, and the management of downstream flows to address aquatic habitat impairments holistically. It relies on partnerships to do this. It assesses and prioritizes reservoirs of greatest conservation need, and acquires and develops the science, technology, tools, best management practices, and monitoring protocols needed for successful fisheries management and fish habitat conservation in those reservoirs and their associated systems. It shares that knowledge with, and provides material support to, all FHPs and other conservation entities with reservoir interests and issues. It facilitates, informs, equips, and supports a bottom-up approach to implementation of reservoir system conservation.

A Reservoir Morphology Database for the Conterminous United States The U.S. Geological Survey, in cooperation with the Reservoir Fisheries Habitat Partnership, combined multiple national databases for the purpose of calculating new morphological metrics for 3,828 reservoirs over 250 acres in surface area. These new metrics include, but are not limited to, shoreline development index, index of basin permanence, development of volume and other descriptive metrics based on established morphometric formulas. The new database also contains modeled chemical metrics from the SPARROW model and physical metrics such as surface area, storage, hydraulic height, etc. Because of the nature of the existing databases used to compile the Reservoir Morphology Database the inherent missing data,...

Official Recognized Boundary of Reservoir Fish Habitat Partnership, 2013 This shapefile is the official boundary of the Reservoir Fish Habitat Partnership. The shapefile was developed in 2013 to reflect the boundary as defined by the Reservoir Fish Habitat Partnership, a recognized Fish Habitat Partnership (FHP) of the National Fish Habitat Partnership.

Reservoir Fisheries Habitat Partnership This folder contains data contributed to the National Fish Habitat Partnership (NFHP) Data System by the Reservoir Fisheries Habitat Partnership (RFHP). The RFHP was recognized as a partner of NFHP in October 2009.

ScienceBase brings together the best information it can find about USGS researchers and offices to show connections to publications, projects, and data. We are still working to improve this process and information is by no means complete. If you don't see everything you know is associated with you, a colleague, or your office, please be patient while we work to connect the dots. Feel free to contact sciencebase@usgs.gov.
