Data products from the 2010 national assessment of fish habitat, conducted in support of the National Fish Habitat Action Plan (NFHAP). Results from the assessment are summarized in the report, "Through A Fish's Eye: The Status of Fish Habitats in the United States". Two assessments were completed in 2010. National Coastal Assessment: Coastal Habitat Condition Index (HCI) scores generated as the result of the 2010 National Assessment are available for the entire coastline of the conterminous U.S. The dataset includes the four subcomponent habitat condition indices, the final cumulative disturbance index, and all of the variables used to generate the indices.

Summary
Data products from the 2010 national assessment of fish habitat, conducted in support of the National Fish Habitat Action Plan (NFHAP). Results from the assessment are summarized in the report, "Through A Fish's Eye: The Status of Fish Habitats in the United States". Two assessments were completed in 2010.
National Coastal Assessment: Coastal Habitat Condition Index (HCI) scores generated as the result of the 2010 National Assessment are available for the entire coastline of the conterminous U.S. The dataset includes the four subcomponent habitat condition indices, the final cumulative disturbance index, and all of the variables used to generate the indices.
National Inland Assessment of Streams: Inland Habitat Condition Index (HCI) scores generated as the result of the 2010 National Assessment are available at multiple spatial scales for the conterminous United States. HCI scores (local, network, and cumulative) and disturbance variable data are available for each confluence to confluence reach of the National Hydrography Dataset [NHD] Plus Version 1. HCI scores are also summarized so that Ecological Drainage Units [EDU], Hydrologic Unit Code [HUC] 8, and HUC12 are attributed with a single HCI for each spatial unit. Inland streams in Hawaii and Alaska were assessed using different spatial frameworks than those in the conterminous United States. HCI scores and disturbance indices for Hawaii are attributed the National Hydrography Dataset (1:24k), while Alaska are attributed to HUC12s.
