     "text": "This study is designed to assess the biological health and condition of associated habitat for a freshwater streams and rivers in the Chesapeake Bay watershed.  Researchers are using existing survey data on biological communities and data on landscape conditions to develop models that are then used to predict biological health and habitat condition for streams and rivers without any survey data.  These models will be used to help establish baseline conditions as well as track trends in time of both biological health and habitat condition.   This study has four main objectives:"

     "text": "Streams and rivers provide habitat for a diverse array of aquatic and semi-aquatic species. However, human alteration to landscapes and riverscapes has affected this habitat resulting in its degradation and thus loss of habitat and associated sensitive aquatic species.  While this relationship has been known for many years, only recently has the availability of data and analytical capabilities afforded the opportunity to examine how human modifications to landscapes and riverscapes have affected streams across large geographic areas.  The goal of this research is to develop improved methods to examine how human activities have affected stream and river habitat and associated organisms, such as brook trout, smallmouth bass and shad throughout the Chesapeake Bay watershed."
