Description: This layer contains the Aquatic Connectivity values as represented in Montana Fish, Wildlife & Parks' (FWP) Crucial Areas Planning System (CAPS). The data are maintained by FWP and used to assess and rank fish, wildlife, and recreational values in Montana. For detailed information on how these data were compiled for the Crucial Areas assessment visit the CAPS Web page and online mapping application at http://fwp.mt.gov/fishAndWildlife/conservationInAction/crucialAreas.html. Aquatic connectivity depicts stream corridors for fish species that require connected habitats to complete all or a portion of their life history. Shown in this layer are stream classifications by order of importance for aquatic connectivity. For more detailed information see http://fwp.mt.gov/fwpDoc.html?id=41523.
