County to integrate Wild Fish Conservancy field maps and publish interactive KinRamp story map
Summary
Staff said Wild Fish Conservancy field surveys will update stream mapping, change unit boundaries and scores, and that an upgraded interactive OpenGov story map will be available within weeks to let users inspect unit scores and contributing attributes.
Britney Gordon told the commission that the county used a portion of grant funds to hire Wild Fish Conservancy to perform field stream surveys in several watersheds (including Anatai and Illihe) and that those data will be integrated into county GIS layers rather than waiting on state DNR updates. "When Wildfish Conservancy goes and maps a watershed, they find more habitat than was originally mapped... wherever they get access, they do walk," she said, adding that the county will import that layer and clearly identify it as Wild Fish Conservancy data.
Gordon also described integration with the county’s OpenGov GIS platform and said an interactive story map tied to the 2025 state-of-natural-assets report will be released imminently for public and interdepartmental use. The map will allow users to click into a management unit to see individual attribute scores (for example, BIBI scores, percentage of shoreline armoring or percent forest cover) and will be available to county departments such as public works and permit services for decision support.
