 StreamNet Interactive Maps

	StreamNet Mapper View fish distribution data and query the StreamNet database by selecting map elements (streams, hatchery facilities, etc.)  Includes USGS Hydrologic Unit and Columbia River Subbasin Planning Boundaries.     Mapping Application Tip* Did you know our StreamNet Mapper lets you obtain data directly from the map? First navigate to the specific stream, 4th-field HUC, Columbia River subbasin, county, dam, or hatchery of interest and make sure it is selected as the active layer. Then, select the "Get Data" tool in the toolbox, and click on the feature of interest. This takes you into the StreamNet data query system, listing all data categories available for that feature. Searching by 4th-field HUC also includes a link to EPA data. Give it a try!
	Protected Areas Mapper View and query the 1988 Protected Areas database through a simple interactive map interface. The Protected Areas are stream reaches that are designated as protected from hydroelectric development.
	Northwest Critical Habitat Mapper View the final critical habitat designations for 12 Evolutionarily Significant Units (ESUs) of Pacific salmon and steelhead (Oncorhynchus mykiss) in NOAA Fisheries' Northwest Region.  For more information on the final rule (released August 12, 2005) please visit NOAA's Critical Habitat Website.

• Browser compatibility & performance:  Our mapping applications work on most modern browsers. Application performance, however, will vary depending on your choice of browser. We suggest using a recent browser version that is optimized for handling javascript. Users with slower dial-up internet connections do need to be patient.
  
  
• Allow pop-up windows:  If you experience problems with some viewer functions, check to ensure that your browser is set to allow pop-up windows from our servers at map.streamnet.org.  Most browsers will notify you when a pop-up window is being blocked and display a menu of options for adjusting the pop-up blocker settings.  The following links provide guidance on how to adjust these settings for Mozilla Firefox and Internet Explorer.
  
  
• Read the user's guide & get the right tool: It is important to understand the "Tools" menu on the top or left hand side of the viewer. The best way to become familliar with the different viewer functions is to click the mapper's "help" link and read the user's guide.
