Description
The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) National Water-Quality Assessment (NAWQA) Program BioData Retrieval system provides access to aquatic bioassessment data (biological community and physical habitat data) collected by USGS scientists from stream ecosystems across the nation. USGS scientists collect fish, aquatic macroinvertebrate, and algae community samples and conduct stream physical habitat surveys as part of its fundamental mission to describe and understand the Earth.
