Description:

Abstract:

The Road Wildlife Mitigation Database layer is part of the CHANJ project and identifies road mitigation projects (as points) that are either in the ground now or have been proposed and permitted (to be built). The projects are structures often accompanied by fencing that serve as safe passageways for wildlife to pass through roadways without directly crossing the road surface. For example, a large culvert under a road designed in the right way, can serve as a safe passageway for wildlife, particularly if there is fencing included that helps filter the animals to the structure and keeps them from crossing the road surface. The data in the layer is populated by a Road Wildlife Mitigation Database Survey 123 AGO app. The database includes all information we know about the structure from construction date, photos, specs, budgets, contacts, etc. and is intended to serve as a central repository for road wildlife mitigation projects in the state. Attachments are linked to the points.

Purpose:

The goal of the Road Wildlife Mitigation Database is to serve as a central repository for information on existing and permitted road wildlife mitigation projects in the state of New Jersey. The database is accessible to wildlife biologists, land use planners, transportation planners and engineers working on road wildlife mitigation projects to enable them to see what has been done in the past to inform decisions about future projects. It has tremendous utility as a component of the Division of Fish and Wildlife’s Connecting Habitat Across New Jersey (CHANJ, www.CHANJ.nj.gov) project by improving knowledge sharing and coordination among project planners and engineers across the state regarding increasing safe passage through our road network for wildlife.
