I was actually asking if you both are named Ryan.

My bad! I am named Ryan

Ok, so both of you fish distribution mapping guys are Ryan. Neat coincidence.

Have you seen the Maryland Stream Health page? Click on the interactive map. Might help you determine your sampling spots... Not sure, but maybe you can get even more data.

Are they both Ryan's? Fishmap Ryan is working in collaboration with NANFA on his excellent project. People should ultimately be able to submit reports to fine tune or expand his database. Pretty exciting.

 

Yep - this is still a work in progress. It has taken longer than I expected to come up with a good solution but we will have this submitter process done sometime soon. We currently have about 27k records from mass loads, but we can get more. 

 

 

This little group of maps isn't affiliated with Fishmap (which I love!). I mostly wanted something to a) help me learn what lives where in my new home state; b) have something I could flip through on my phone when I'm on the Metro in the tunnels without having to carry another book in my bag; and c) plot my own catches as they (hopefully) start to pile up.

 

It is a pretty cool project. I noticed you are using NatureServe and FishNet2. I am not sure if QGIS supports API calls (I assume so since you are working with FishNet 2 data), but let me know if you wanted to enhance your maps in the future with FishMap data. Like I said above, we have 27k records and growing - could easily expand the current API to include data sets as well as the map overlays we have.
