Funding for this project ended on December 31, 2013. SWIFD is the Statewide Washington Integrated Fish Distribution, presented as a linear featureclass based on WA single stream identifiers (LLID). SWIFD includes anadromous and resident salmonids, and various game fish. The Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife (WDFW) manages a GIS fish distribution (presence) dataset for the entire state of Washington. Within the Treaty Tribes and Washington state co-managment area of western Washington, the Northwest Indian Fisheries Commission (NWIFC) and the Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife (WDFW) have collaborated to consolidate fish distribution (presence) data and to co-steward that dataset moving forward. To consolidate data within the co-management area, NWIFC and WDFW had to update their respective data management schemas to create a new schema that accepts data from each organization. The primary purpose of creating a single fish distribution dataset for the state of Washington is to create a common data framework for fish information that better serves the management, conservation and restoration of the state's fish habitat and fishery resources. <DIV STYLE="text-align:Left;"><DIV><DIV><P><SPAN>SWIFD is the Statewide Washington Integrated Fish Distribution, presented as a linear featureclass based on WA single stream identifiers (LLID). The Statewide Washington Integrated Fish Distribution (SWIFD) dataset is a single National Hydrography Dataset (NHD) event layer for the state of Washington. Within the Treaty Tribes and Washington State co-management area, the Northwest Indian Fisheries (NWIFC) and Washington State Department of Fish and Wildlife (WDFW) collaborated to create a single data schema and to combine fish distribution data. The NWIFC and WDFW combined data area is within the boundaries of Washington State Water Resource Inventory Areas (WRIA) 01 -- 23. This is the western Washington region including the western Washington Cascades, the Puget Sound, the Hood Canal, the Strait of Juan de Fuca, and the Olympic peninsula from the Nooksack River in the north (WRIA 01) to the Chehallis River (WRIA 22/23) in the South. The data schema remains the same for Washington state fish distribution data outside of the co-management area, but all fish distribution data outside of the co-management area is supplied by WDFW. The foundational fish distribution dataset is an event table that contains attributes for each species of fish, anadromous and resident, that have previously been mapped by either NWIFC or WDFW. This event layer maps to the ROUTED 1:24,000-scale version of NHD for Washington state, using NHD ReachCodes as the route identifier, and relative 0-100 linear measures within each reach/route. SWIFD events are in the USGS Hydrologic Event Management (HEM, http://nhd.usgs.gov/tools.html#hem) table format and HEM is used to update and maintain the event tables. Each individual fsh species/run contains information on verification of the upper extent of fish distribution, life history, and habitat use. In the final dataset all the individual fish species/run distributions are stacked onto the NHD reaches, so a given stream reach with 6 unique species/runs will have 6 features associated with it. Usually a definition query is applied to this featureclass to display a single species at a time. The event table structure of the dataset does allow groups of species/runs to be integrated via the use of event overlays. Users should also pay attention to the DISTTYPE_DESC field to ensure they are displaying the appropriate records for their purposes. In particular, there are confirmed absence records for certain species that should not be displayed as occupied stream habitat. SWIFD is developed by dissolving the foundational NHD ReachCode event table SWIFD_2HEM_evts by the LLID and the specific fish record attributes: LLID;LLID_STRM_NAME;SPECRCODE;SPECIESRUN;SPECCODE;SPECIES;RUN_TIME;RUNTIME_DESC;DIST_TYPE;DISTTYPE_DESC;USE_TYPE;USETYPE_DESC;LIFE_HIST;LIFEHIST_DESC;</SPAN></P></DIV></DIV></DIV> Salmon Fish Anadromous Resident Freshwater River Linear events Lake Chris Clark, Christina Gonzales, Bruce Jones, Ron McFarlance, and Tyson Waldo from NWIFC; Arleta Agun, Brody Cox, and Andrew Weiss from WDFW; Anita Stohr from Washington State Department of Ecology; and Keith Dublanca from the Washington State Recreation and Conservation Office all had key roles in this project.

Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife DISTTYPE_D DISTTYPE_DESC String 24 0 0 Verbal description of the level of confidence in, and source of the knowledge of how the species uses this stream reach. See "DIST_TYPE", containing the numeric code for these categories, and shown in parentheses in each of the values described here. Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife and Northwest Indian Fisheries Commission Documented (DIST_TYPE = 10) Aquatic stream habitat that is documented to be presently utilized by fish (based on reliable published sources, survey notes, first-hand sightings, etc.). This includes habitat used by any life history stage for any length of time. This designation is applied to all stream sections downstream of a documented sighting to the next “Documented” habitat section (or to marine waters), unless otherwise indicated by a formal review group. Notes: Synonyms include “Known” and “Currently Occupied”. Examples of the “formal review groups” include LFA Technical Advisory Groups, WRIA 1 Project Updates (2004), NWIFC SSHIAP combination with LFA, joint WDFW/USFWS bull trout recovery teams, and inter-agency gatherings to contribute to Priority Habitats and Species (PHS) updates. Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife Transported - Documented (DIST_TYPE = 11) Aquatic habitat that meets the basic criteria for “Documented” where fish presence is wholly supported by an active fish transport (trap & haul) operation. In all instances the fish transport operation maintains fish use within streams and basins that historically supported fish presence prior to construction of an impassable dam. Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife Historic - Documented (DIST_TYPE = 12) Aquatic habitat that meets the basic criteria for “Documented” where the available documentation is more than 20 years old. For some species/runs, also includes aquatic habitat that a consensus of biological opinion has been deemed to have supported that species/run prior to either the depression of the fish stock or the general degradation of the habitat to the point where is no longer supports utilization by that species. Instances for each occurrence would include Upper Columbia Coho above the Columbia River dams, a stock that is severely depressed and therefore does not currently occupy is historic extent, and Summer Steelhead in the Yakima Basin where extensive irrigation activities have resulted in changes in the hydrologic cycle such that the aquatic habitat no longer can support Steelhead use. Also considered for inclusion in historic presence is aquatic habitat above certain dams whose blocking effect to fish passage can or will not be mitigated by passage facilities or transport activities. Examples include Chief Joseph Dam and Grand Coulee Dam. These features are deemed immanent features and for management proposes are considered ‘part of the landscape’. Notes: Refinement of the definition and scope of Historic Presence(s) were undertaken during the summer and fall of 2005 based on the Federal Caucus report: Conservation of Columbia Basin Fish: Building a Conceptual Recovery Plan (“All-H Paper”) December 1999. As of May 2006 additional definition of Historic Presences is ongoing. At this time generalized Historic Distribution has only been fully defined for summer run Steelhead. It is likely however that several other salmonid species, namely Coho and spring Chinook and to a lesser degree summer Chinook and sockeye salmon, historically had a geographic distribution extent similar to that which has been defined for summer run steelhead. Currently several species are shown as Historically Present to just above Grand Coulee Dam. In reality the great likelihood is that these species’ ‘pre-dam’ distribution extents extended significantly further upstream in the Columbia River and into a number of accessible upstream tributaries. Additional updates will occur as information and biological consensus becomes available. Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife Artificial - Documented (DIST_TYPE = 13) Aquatic habitat that meets the basic criteria for “Documented”, did not historically support a particular salmonid species, but has now been opened up to use. Examples are fish ladders providing passage past a historically impassable waterfall or the creation of irrigation ditches now used by salmonids. Notes: “Documented” presence identified by LFA TAG meetings or the NWIFC SSHIAP combination with LFA, has not always been coded with this sub-category. Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife Presumed (DIST_TYPE = 20) Aquatic habitat lacking reliable documentation of fish use where, based on the available data and best biological opinion/consensus, fish are presumed to occur. For migratory fish, such habitat will extend upstream to the end of the stream OR to the first known natural barrier (including sustained 12% stream gradient or small stream size). Best biological judgment includes consideration of suitable (species-specific) habitat availability, life history strategies, proximity and connectivity to adjacent “Documented” habitat sections or logical extrapolation of range from similar systems. Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife Transported - Presumed (DIST_TYPE = 21) Aquatic habitat lacking reliable documentation of fish use where, based on the available data and best biological opinion/consensus, fish are presumed to occur that is within a basin or stream system where fish presence(s) is/are maintain through an active transport (trap & haul) operation. Definition is the same as ‘regular’ Presumed Presence except that an active transport operation maintains Known fish presence immediately downstream of the defined Presumed Presence in the basin or stream. Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife Artificial - Presumed (DIST_TYPE = 23) Aquatic habitat lacking reliable documentation of fish use where, based on the available data and best biological opinion/consensus, fish are presumed to occur that is within a basin or stream system where fish presence(s) is/are maintain through utilization of fish passage facilities. Definition is the same as ‘regular’ Presumed Presence except that a fishway or other passage facility has provided access to areas not historically open to the particular species. Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife Potential (DIST_TYPE = 30) Aquatic habitat that meets the basic criteria for “Presumed” but is unused by fish due to artificial (man-made) obstructions, degraded habitat quality, or extirpation of local fish populations. This category is used in cases where habitat could be made available to fish through removal of obstructions, improvement of habitat, or re-introductions of fish. Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife Transported - Potential (DIST_TYPE = 31) Aquatic habitat that meets the basic criteria for “Presumed” but is unused by fish due to artificial obstructions, poor quality, or extirpation of local fish populations. This category is used in cases where habitat could be made available to fish through removal of obstructions, improvement of habitat, or re-introductions of fish. Definition is the same as ‘regular’ Potential Presence except that an active fish transport (trap & haul) operation maintains Known fish immediately downstream from the currently impassable man-made barrier. Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife Artificial - Potential (DIST_TYPE = 33) Aquatic habitat that meets the basic criteria for “Presumed” but is unused by fish due to artificial obstructions, poor quality, or extirpation of local fish populations. This category is used in cases where habitat could be made available to fish through removal of obstructions, improvement of habitat, or re-introductions of fish. Definition is the same as ‘regular’ Potential Presence except that a fishway or other passage facility has provided access to areas not historically open to the particular species immediately downstream from the currently impassable man-made barrier. Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife No Gradient Barrier (DIST_TYPE = 50) Modeled habitat that is based on a qualification of NWIFC SSHIAP gradient segments which were originally mapped from USGS 7.5-minute Topographic Quadrangle maps. This includes habitat upstream of known species presence, but downstream of any known natural barrier. The natural gradient barrier used for chum was 8%, and for all other species of salmon and/or trout was 12%. The modeled category does not factor habitat quality, flow or any other natural or human-caused condition that would otherwise prevent habitat use. Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife Information (DIST_TYPE = 90) Information that does not fit into the above categories. Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife USETYPE_DE USETYPE_DESEC String 8 0 0 The verbal description of how the species utilizes the reach of the stream. See "USE_TYPE", containing the numeric code for these categories, and shown in parentheses in each of the values described here. Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife Migration (USE_TYPE = 1) This reach is used by fish to primarily move from one spot to another. Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife Spawning (USE_TYPE = 2) This reach is used for spawning, also possibly rearing and migration. Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife Rearing (USE_TYPE = 3) This reach is used for growth from hatching until migration, and also migration. Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife LIFEHIST_D LIFEHIST_DESC String 10 0 0 The term used to describe the life cycle history and geographic range for the species.
