Fisheries and
Aquatic Resources Assessments

Inter-Fluve's multidisciplinary staff performs fish and habitat surveys, inventories, and assessments for landowners and resource agencies. We regularly perform both standardized and customized assessments including fisheries and aquatic invertebrate population surveys; habitat mapping and assessements; channel, bank and riparian condition evaluations; in-stream flow assessments (IFIM); and water quality evaluations. We cater surveys and inventories to both pre-design applications and post-implementation monitoring in river systems throughout the United States.  

Fish and Aquatic Habitat

We believe that effective stream habitat improvement should result in sustained habitat stability, diversity, and function within the hydraulic, geomorphic, and biological parameters of each stream system. Because streams and rivers are physically dynamic and biologically complex, effective fish habitat improvement requires innovative approaches. We maximize habitat variability and availability on every project we undertake. Our approach to in-channel habitat improvement relies on the manipulation of bedforms and channel geometry to create habitat that appears and functions naturally. Recognizing that fish habitat also relies on watershed and riparian condition, we promote sound land stewardship practices and tailor our projects to reduce out-of-channel degradation. www.interfluve.com
