Fishes of the Upper Colorado River Basin have one of the highest levels of endemism in the United States. The range and abundance of these fish has declined over the last century and continues to decline as a result of legacy impacts from past management practices, current water management, interactions with non-natives, and other impacts. Seven of these fish are considered imperiled by the American Fisheries Society and four are listed as endangered by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. We applied a complementarity-based approach to develop priority ranks (0 – 1; low to high) for catchments in the Upper Colorado River Basin. We used methods and a framework that we had previously developed for the Lower Colorado...

Conservation rank data for each drainage catchments in the Upper Colorado River Basin. Some smaller catchments were not ranked. Catchments are the drainage area (local watersheds) for each individual stream segment within the 1:100,000 scale National Hydrography Plus Version 1 (NHDPlusV1) dataset. The NHDplus catchments have been ranked (valued) based on the representation of native fish species given the threats to their persistence (i.e., non-native fish species, land use, and habitat fragmentation). The ranking process placed importance on areas with several native species as well as areas important to individual species with restricted distributions and so is not simply a species “hot spot” assessment. Catchments...

This conservation assessment of the U.S. Rio Grande Watershed identifies target areas for the implementation of habitat-related projects and priority areas, stream segments, and watersheds to improve ecological condition, restore natural processes, and prevent the decline of intact and healthy systems. Through systematic conservation planning, this assessment addresses multi-species and multi-jurisdictional concerns; work that complements and extends analogous conservation assessments completed for much of the Desert Landscape Conservation Cooperative’s (DLCC) extent. In doing so, it provides a flexible working model into which priority taxa and habitats can be easily incorporated in the future.

This shapefile is the official boundary of the Desert Fish Habitat Partnership. The boundary was originally developed by the United States Fish and Wildlife Service and was updated in 2013 to reflect revisions from the Desert Fish Habitat Partnership, a recognized Fish Habitat Partnership (FHP) of the National Fish Habitat Partnership.
