California Fish Passage Forum
The mission of the California Fish Passage Forum is to protect and restore listed anadromous salmonid species, and other aquatic organisms, in California by promoting collaboration among public and private sectors for fish passage improvement projects and programs. Species of concern include (but are not limited to): coho and chinook salmon, steelhead trout, and Pacific lamprey. The goal of the Forum is to restore connectivity of freshwater habitats throughout the historic range of anadromous fish. The Forum coordinates among agency programs and private sector activities to target high priority projects and to improve the timeliness and cost-effectiveness of fish passage. The Forum was recognized as a fish habitat partnership of the National Fish Habitat Partnership in March 2010.

FISHPass is a web-based decision-support tool designed to help users identify fish passage barriers for remediation. FISHPass is an optimization model that uses barrier information from the California Passage Assessment Database (PAD), accounts for spatial layout of the barriers in the network, cumulative barrier passability, potential upstream habitat, and optionally, estimated costs. FISHPass is publicly available to users at no cost and is designed to be a "living-tool", that the Forum will continually improve and refine.

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

The Passage Assessment Database (PAD) geospatial file contains locations of known and potential barriers to salmonid migration in California streams with additional information about each record. The PAD is an ongoing map-based inventory of known and potential barriers to anadromous fish in California, compiled and maintained through a cooperative interagency agreement. The PAD compiles currently available fish passage information from many different sources, allows past and future barrier assessments to be standardized and stored in one place, and enables the analysis of cumulative effects of passage barriers in the context of overall watershed health. The database is set up to capture basic information about each...

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.
