Description:

Californians face profound decisions regarding the management of their state’s increasingly limited water supply. Critical for decision-making is information about the plants and animals that also rely on California’s freshwater resources to survive. This dataset displays an atlas of the freshwater biodiversity patterns in California, based on the first comprehensive spatial database of California’s freshwater species.


The data is symbolized by current observations. The analysis units are derived from the Watershed Boundary Database (WBD) for the United States (http://nhd.usgs.gov/wbd.html).


Attached to the dataset are a ReadMe and instructions for use on the California Department of Fish and Wildlife BIOS web mapping application.for more information, read the report: Below the Surface: California's Freshwater Diversity .
