abstract: The Passage Assessment Database (PAD) is an ongoing inventory of known and potential barriers to anadromous fish
in California. It compiles currently available fish passage information from more than two hundred data sources, and allows
past and future barrier assessments to be standardized and stored in one place. The inventory is to be used to identify barriers
suitable for removal or modification to restore spawning and riparian habitat for salmon and steelhead, and to enhance aquatic
and riparian habitat. The PAD is intended to be compatible with a variety of other data sets related to anadromous fish issues.
All PAD records are saved with geographic location information. This file can be used to represent the known and potential
barriers on maps or to provide latitude/longitude coordinates. Each barrier record is indexed to the 24k high-resolution NHD
allowing the user to combine the PAD with other fisheries data tied to the same hydrography. Visit Calfish website at www.calfish.org/PAD
for details about the PAD project. For a more detailed description of the digitizing process refer to the PAD Methodology:
