Cold Water Supporting Drainage Basin
Cold water habitat was determined using available fish and
water temperature data collected by the Connecticut Department of Energy and
Environmental Protection (CT DEEP) Monitoring and Assessment, Inland Fisheries
and Volunteer Stream Temperature Programs. The analysis to date includes years
1988 - 2023. The mapping application will be updated with new or updated
information as it is collected, quality assured and analyzed. CT DEEP has a
robust data set of stream fish community and temperature logger data dating
back to the late 1980's. In previous work (Beauchene et al., 2014) these data
were used to develop cold water temperature metrics and fish species that were
indicators of cold-water habitat. With the knowledge gained from the
compilation of recent Connecticut based studies, identification and subsequent
classification of cold-water habitat can be made with data from either fish or
stream water temperature. To catalog cold water habitat CT DEEP analyzed all
available fish and water temperature data collected in accordance to standard
operating procedures to identify cold water rivers and streams. The analysis to
date includes years 1988 – 2023 and identified 1,716 samples and 792 sites
indicating cold water habitat from both fish community and temperature logger
data. If a site was measured to have
cold water habitat with either fish community or water temperature using the
June-August metric at any time during our surveys, it was considered cold water
stream habitat. Additional information regarding the data and project can be
found on:
