The FSFP Project and its ever-growing database were developed to support the enhancement and improvement of the anadromous fishery resources of California. This is accomplished by first identifying any potential barrier to fish migration, then prioritizing them for passage improvement. This ultimately optimizes fish passage for both upstream and downstream migration of anadromous fishes, thereby contributing to higher numbers of adult salmon and steelhead returning to rivers in subsequent years.
This California Department of Fish and Game (CDFG) Fish Screen and Fish Passage (FSFP) Project, funded by the federal Sport Fish Restoration Act, was initiated in 1991 as part of the Salmon, Steelhead Trout and Anadromous Fishes Restoration and Enhancement Program. Efforts are focused on identifying potential fish passage barriers in all anadromous waters. Impediments to fish passage can include both natural and man-made structures. Man-made barriers may include impassable culverts, road crossings and dams, as well as unscreened water diversions. Installing a fish screen on the intake of a water diversion has been known to help prevent juvenile fishes from being entrained (removed from the river) thereby contributing to higher numbers of adults returning to the rivers in subsequent years. Providing technical guidance on such fish passage improvement projects is also a part of the FSFP Project. Fish passage assessment inventories on rivers and streams are conducted by boat, inflatable kayak, truck, or on foot, whichever is appropriate for the area. Depending on flows and available daylight, survey crews can inventory between six to 18 miles per day. A Geographic Positioning System (GPS) point is collected for each water diversion and potential fish passage barrier. ArcView Geographic Information System (GIS) mapping software and Microsoft Access are then used to create and maintain a comprehensive spatial database. Each data point has an associated record of information and photograph. This information is then used to identify and prioritize potential fish passage improvement sites thereby improving fish migrations. Additionally, records are compared with those maintained by the State Water Resources Control Board, the Department of Water Resources, the U.S Bureau of Reclamation, as well as with other agencies for additional information and to fill data gaps.

The Fish Screen and Fish Passage Database was compiled using field data about fish passage from CDFG's FSFP Project as well as from other sources such as DWR, USBR, NOAA/NMFS, SWRCB. This database was originally created to inform natural resource decision-makers of magnitude of fish passage problems in California and to aid in improving passage for threatened and endangered anadromous fish. The quality of the data in the FSFP database will vary depending on the data source, including different amounts of detail and varying degrees of accuracy in location descriptions.
The FSFP Database is continually managed for quality assurance and quality control and is updated on a daily basis. Any potential errors should be reported to the database contact person.
Received data from Martina Koller PSMFC (working on-site at DFG). Original metadata drafted by DFG's Katie Witts. Metadata later adjusted/edited by Will Patterson, DFG GIS Service Center (geodata@dfg.ca.gov).
Data research and assessment. It appears the data were originally provided to the DFG GIS Service Center in California Teale Albers (CTA) NAD27 but documented as CTA NAD83. Did a (true) re-projection of the dataset to CTA NAD83. In comparing the points visually, the newly re-projected CTA NAD83 version appears to be more correctly located than the old version, so it is now the current version. However, some of the coordinate values in the fields LATD, LATM, LATS, LOND, LONM, LONS appear to be off. They may be in a different datum (NAD27) than the dataset (NAD83), or may have a unknown processing history with a combination of datums. Have inquired to the data source contacts to try and decipher the processing history.
