Latest On The Conservation Gateway

A well-managed and operational Conservation Gateway is in our future! Marketing, Conservation, and Science have partnered on a plan to rebuild the Gateway into the organization’s enterprise content management system (AEM), with a planned launch of a minimal viable product in early FY26. If you’re interested in learning more about the project, reach out to megan.sheehan@tnc.org for more info!
The aquatic habitat guides are a companion to the Northeast aquatic habitat classification. They provide users with a compact fact sheet describing each of the mapped habitats, and provide information on the ecology and conservation status of the habitat, including:

  • Map of the regional distribution
  • Photo of example habitat and typical species
  • Description, ecological setting, and similar habitat types
  • State distribution and acres of riparian buffer conserved
  • Crosswalks to the state classifications
  • Places to visit this habitat
  • Associated fish, and species of concern
  • Distribution of securement
  • Land cover classes in riparian buffer
  • Density of dams
  • Cumulative upstream impervious surfaces
  • Risk of flow alteration by dam storage

Habitats are organized by macrogroups defined by stream size and tidal class. The structure is as follows:


Macrogroups

Headwaters and Creeks​
Small Rivers​
Medium Rivers​
Large Rivers​
Tidal Rivers
