Description:
Abstract:
This data represents the NJDEP Fish Index of Biotic Integrity Monitoring Network active sample point locations for the years 2000 to 2011. A FIBI is an index that measures the health of a stream based on multiple attributes of the resident fish assemblage. Each site sampled is scored based on its deviation from reference conditions (i.e., what would be found in an unimpacted stream) and classified as "poor", "fair", "good" or "excellent".
Purpose:
The Fish Index of Biotic Integrity network was created as a biomonitoring network to supplement the current Ambient Biomonitoring Network (benthic macroinvertebrates). The project design is a five year cycle.

Ordering_Instructions:
All available NJDEP public GIS data can be downloaded for free. Some data shown in NJGeoWeb application may not yet be available for download due to various data or distribution issues. Please email gisnet@dep.state.nj.us with any data distribution questions.
Custom_Order_Process:
The NJDEP may distribute GIS data in a variety of formats, such as the ESRI shapefile and/or various versions of the file geodatabase format. The data also may be available for viewing on various profiles of the NJ GeoWeb online mapping application.
Note: Some older NJDEP data may not contain .prj files due to distribution procedures at that time. If download does not contain a .prj, please download from:
<http://www.nj.gov/dep/gis/njsp83.zip>
Please rename .prj to the name of the downloadable filename. (for example: If Head of Tides filename is HOT.shp, please rename .prj to HOT.prj). This allows ESRI software to recognize the projection information.
