This map shows the potential current distribution of flannelmouth sucker as well as current and near-term status, and long term potential for change (due to climate change). The current distribution is based on observation points that include those from Utah Natural Heritage Program; these data were not delivered as part of this REA due to legal restrictions.

Survey data was integrated within a GIS by georeferencing observations to an existing national spatial framework (National Hydrography Dataset), which allows for broader transferability to watersheds shared with neighboring states, creating a seamless layer not limited by state boundaries. Addressing the management and conservation challenges for native fishes will require the ability to “data mine” the extensive existing information on distribution and abundance of species available from aquatic survey programs. Results from such syntheses can be used to assess the current conservation status of native fishes, quantify the extent of species invasions, and establish baseline distributions with which to evaluate...
