PACN Monitoring Stream: Fish, Shrimp, Snails, and Habitat Characterization

Raikow D . PACN Monitoring Stream: Fish, Shrimp, Snails, and Habitat Characterization. 2009. National Park Service

Long term stream monitoring for the Pacific Island Network. Throughout the world, freshwater ecosystems are considered to be among the most vulnerable systems. In the isolated Pacific islands there are a relatively small number of native freshwater species, which are mainly endemic to these locations. Throughout the region, native flora and fauna face significant threats from species introductions and habitat destruction. The National Parks in the Pacific Island Network (PACN) protect some of the last relatively pristine stream systems. This project will provide park managers with some of the information necessary to understand status and trends in biotic integrity within park stream systems.
