Summary
This folder contains data contributed to the National Fish Habitat Partnership (NFHP) Data System by the Southeast Aquatic Resources Partnership (SARP). SARP was recognized as a partner of NFHP in October 2007.
Southeast Aquatic Resources Partnership (SARP) was initiated in 2001 to address the myriad issues related to the management of aquatic resources in the southeastern United States, which includes about 26,000 miles of species-rich aquatic shoreline and over 70 major river basins. The area faces significant threats to its aquatic resources, as illustrated by the fact that 34% of North American fish species and 90% of the native mussel species designated as endangered, threatened, or of special concern are found in the Southeast.
