Attribution of fish sampling data to NHDPlus HR catchments within the Chesapeake Bay Watershed

Metadata Updated: July 20, 2024

This data release links fish survey data from a suite of programs in the Chesapeake Bay watershed to the NHDPlus High Resolution Region 02 networks, hereafter referred to as NHDPlusHR. The data set contains site name, survey program, coordinates of sample, ancillary information such as sample date and site ___location information where available, and HR Permanent Identifier. It also includes a confidence classification category for each of NHD assignment based on a set of pre-determined rules. In total there were 15 confidence categories ranging from high confidence to low confidence. We caution the use of sampling points which were given anything other than "high" confidence in their assignment to a given NHD catchment/flowline to avoid spurious/inappropriate attribution of geospatial data to fish data samples represented herein and refer the potential user to the Confidence Dictionary.csv which describes the criteria for each confidence category.
