This file contains the results of multiple analyses for conserving watersheds that are important for the conservation of freshwater aquatic biodiversity in Maryland. In 2005, MBSS and NHP analyzed watershed-level data to determine stronghold watersheds for individual rare, threatened or endangered freshwater aquatic species. In 2006, NHP analyzed watershed-level data to determine stronghold watersheds based on species richness and rarity-weighted richness. In 2007, strongholds for stream-related amphibians and reptiles were included.
Originally, to develop a more comprehensive stronghold watershed provide to MD Dept. of Planning for the statewide Land Preservation, Parks & Recreation Plan (LPPRP). Since then it is intended for use by any land conservation programs within government agencies or private conservation organizations.
