Both the southeast aquatic resources partnership (sarp) and the north atlantic aquatic connectivity collaborative (naacc) maintain databases to document anthropogenic barriers in streams

We propose to upgrade the naacc database and extend its geographic scope to cover 16 states and territories in the southeastern U.S. Covered by sarp (one sarp state, virginia, is already covered by the naacc) with potential to include other regions of the U.S. Over time. Sarp is already working with states in the midwest, intermountain west, and great lakes regions. The naacc central coordinators based at the university of massachusetts amherst, are included in this proposal as subrecipients their role will be to oversee the upgrade and expansion of the naacc database. This new database will be maintained by sarp and will ultimately result in a more streamlined and unified process for collecting field data, prioritize sites for restoration, and ultimately reconnect more miles of aquatic habitat for sport fish and non-game aquatic species across the states and territories of both the southeastern association of fish and wildlife agencies and the northeastern association of fish and wildlife agencies, as well as the nation as a whole.
