Hyde Pond and Pond Lily Monitoring and Assessment; Hurricane Sandy, Disaster Relief Appropriations Act of 2013

project goal of improving passage for migratory and resident fish and to comply with permit requirements with regard to vegetative community composition and abiotic factors. Monitoring metrics are expected to include, fish abundance, diversity, and migration patterns, riparian plant community composition, invasive species extent, and stream channel profiles. Additional variables could be included based on site specific interests or permit requirements as funding allows. This project is not expected to address inundation modelling at the project sites as that will be accomplished independent of this project. This project is authorized by the Disaster Relief Appropriations Act of 2013, Public Law 113-2.
